Many people said it was likely to happen and indeed it has. Vivek Ramaswamy has now overtaken Ron DeSantis to become the top loser to Donald Trump in the GOP primary race. According to a Kaplan Strategies poll [LINK HERE] Ron DeSantis has now dropped to third place in the presidential preference polling.
KAPLAN – “Vivek Ramaswamy, biotech investor, has made significant strides in his political journey, tying with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis in the latest national GOP poll. Both candidates claimed the support of 12 percent of likely GOP voters, coming second to President Donald Trump, who maintains a dominant 48 percent lead.
Doug Kaplan, founder of Kaplan Strategies, the firm that conducted the poll, highlights the rising popularity of Ramaswamy in the face of nine competitors. “Ramaswamy outperformed six other hopefuls by more than double, marking a significant surprise in this poll,” Kaplan comments.
While DeSantis remains a top-tier candidate amongst non-Trump choices, he now shares this status with Ramaswamy. The reactions of these camps in the face of this new dynamic are anticipated with interest.
Despite DeSantis’ favorable rating of 59 percent amongst GOP voters, Kaplan suggests that Ramaswamy may have the potential for a higher ceiling, as he is less well-known amongst Republican voters, with a 27 percent Uncertain rate.
Meanwhile, the poll underscores the unwavering support President Trump holds within the GOP, despite the crowded field challenging him. Trump boasts a combined 69 percent favorability rating, leaving little room for uncertainty.” (MORE)
Bu’bye little Ron-Ron.
Congressional Dems coming apart at the seams over RFK Jr testimony today.

Ramaswampy is a George and Daisy Soros funded boy and a WEF darling.
Not a rumor. Fact.
And a COVID drug guy.

And Vivek has an excuse for everything.
He is a master manipulator.
Very good at fooling people.
A total wordsmith in the most negative terms.
He’s a snake! People are so gullible it makes me sick!
Everyone relax
This isn’t about Vivek being a viable candidate
It’s about how shitty Ron is
The poll represents more than a single value.
We already know DeSantcus is a fraud and we rejoice in his cratering.
The next mole to pop his head up now gets whacked, that’s how it works.
“Mr. Nikki Haley, I presume?”
Nikki Haley is a fraud.
The jury is out on Vivek Ramaswamy, but at this point I see no evidence he’s cut from the same cloth as her.
Suggesting as much because they happen to share the same general racial background is beneath our community.
None are suggesting that, but your slight of our community is noted.
I guess you missed this comment:
“Mr. Nikki Haley, I presume?”
My response was intended as criticism of the above comment. There is no way to fairly characterize this as a slight to the Treehouse community, unless you somehow think the Nikki Haley reference is reflective of most people here (it isn’t).
I was disappointed in Jim Hoft and how smarmy, poorly researched and written, and inaccurate this mudslinging article is. I don’t understand why he had suddenly gotten the vapors over someone who, like RFK Jr., can articulately discuss real concerns. He and his brother are spending way too much time pushing RFK Jr. The latter did do a masterful job in his testimony on censorship.
YES!
Everybody needs to know who this guy really is!
Fake conservative!
You know, until I read these comments I had a more positive view of him. I merely thought he was a guy who was angling for a position in a Trump administration. Thanks
He’s said he doesn’t want a position in Trumps cabinet.
He wants to be president or in the private sector.
He is a smooth one.
The Lord showed me a number of months ago that he is a snake.
Didn’t know much more than that until he revealed more.
God is surely protecting us!
He’s the one who can get the young vote and he has great ideas and he likes Trump what’s wrong with that?
But he doesn’t like President Trump.
He uses President Trump‘s name.
He calls him “friend” and then stabs him in the back.
He is only using MAGA as a way to the massive boat base.
He is a liar and a deceiver.
One to really watch out for.
Could be, WE CAN TRUST TRUMP !
True.
so what’s new?
Nothing if he’s telling the truth.
I agree Why let the perfect be the enemy of the good.
ive listened to VR a few times now and watched him handle a heckler in a very effective way.
My only caveat is the rumour that he knows Eye-of-Sauron Soros.
il let him defend himself and see how he does going forward.
He addressed that this week. He claims Soros tried to get him on board and tried to make it appear it was the case. He flatly denied the affiliation.
Soros tried to get me on board, too. How about you, Greg? LOL
Reminds me of how many deny ever talking to Epstein, or the free flight to the island.
Why are so many insisting we let the good be the enemy of the perfect?
Ummmm he’s on the SOROS team…
Soros linked. Isn’t that enough?
Unless that’s exactly what Soros wants you to think. I Dunno.
We don’t have a really good track record with Indian immigrants in American politics or tech businesses which impact our politics.
Alternatively, we could try viewing people as individuals rather than as interchangeable members of racial groups.
Just a suggestion. Take it or leave it.
Are you actually serious ?
He is an Indian Obama.
Indeed.
Let none forget India has it’s own Communist Conspiracy, not to mention a supremecist strain and caste system which reminds of Obama’s true “Muslim Faith.”
Aside from the fact that Hinduism and Islam are entirely different religions with a history of conflict (mainly in the form of Muslims attacking Hindus, conquering them, and forcing many of them to convert), it should also be noted that Vivek Ramaswamy was born and raised in America and not in India.
If we’re going to start judging and defining people based on where their ancestors were from, then we may as well throw in the towel and admit the identity-obsessed racists at BLM have won.
Baloney.
Culture and origins matter, that’s why it’s literally in our Constitution.
The constitution specifies that only a “natural born citizen” can be president.
The constitutions does not, however, define this term to exclude those born in US soil with American citizenship by birth. That is your own interpretation, entirely unmoored from jurisprudence.
Culture does matter, but every indication I’ve seen is that Vivek Ramaswamy shares our culture and values – much more so than many white Americans like Eric Swalwell, Joe Biden, Mitch McConnel or Lindsey Graham.
That specification exists for a reason, to assure affiliation, allegiance, and affection.
Obama proved how vital assuring such is, and how destructive the failure to do so is.
It’s much more than a simple box to check, it is a limited measure to attempt to ensure conditions that of of immeasurable value, and it is only correct and wise and indeed just to actually ask those questions that underlie loyalties and explore them thoroughly.
We have an infestation of Communists and enablers thereof, to include the White Americans you note, and we must sweep all vestiges of the Communist Conspiracy away in the process of restoring this Republic; it would be silly to assert that any of us place a higher perception of fidelity to being an American because the traitors you cite are White.
The specification you cite has long been superseded via constitutional amendment and judicial interpretation, but even if this wasn’t the case there’s absolutely no guarantee of affiliation, allegiance and affection among the children of US citizens.
In fact, many (if not most) of the worst traitors in the communist infestation you speak of would meet your exclusionary definition of “natural born citizen.”
He is a fake
Wasn’t this your argument for DeSantis a few months back?
Ramaswamy is an individual, so no, sundance and others here will have different arguments against Vivek.
But his shortcomings are not the point.
The point, to me, is that no one who declares against PDJT on the R side is an actual candidate.
They are all plandidates. The plan is to get PDJT off the ballot (illegally) and then let the melee begin.
PDJT is so far ahead that the only thing they can logically be banking on is that. And banking on that means they are in on a plan. Someone somewhere down the line has promised or persuaded them that PDJT will be taken out.
Plandidates.
Not sure if you meant to respond to me. My comment was in response to Katy jay’s comment that Rammajamma can get “the young vote and he has great ideas”. I’m a Trump only voter. Rammajamma means nothing to me.
You’re right, looks like I placed my comment poorly.
(PDJT only here, too, obviously…)
Somebody gets it!
All Republican opposition to Trump is opposition to We the People. And yes, the open secret in DC and among the chattering classes and political consultants is that Trump will soon be politically incapacitated by Agent Smith.
But I’m way ahead of the curve; November 4th, 2020 proved to me that I–and hundreds of millions of Americans–are living in a banana republic ruled by a deeply corrupt and despotic junta, supported by billionaire megalomaniacs, enabled by the demonic Enemedia, and defended by homicidal thugs in both the Pentagon and alphabet federal agencies.
We. Are. Not. Voting. Ourselves. Out. Of. This.
You’re right that we probably aren’t voting our way out of this.
If that is the case though, a great way for us to ensure our defeat at the hands of tyranny is to alienate potential allies and engage in friendly fire against those who share a common cause.
Choosing to fight multi-front wars is almost always a recipe for disaster.
Covering our eyes and pretending those standing up to oppose Trump are our friends without concealed and even malevolent motives reminds me quite a bit of how we had Obama foisted upon us.
So in your opinion there should be no primaries or nomination process?
You sound kind of like the democrats who don’t think RFK Jr. should be allowed to run against Biden.
In politics as in business, open competition is almost always healthy and leads to higher quality offerings. If nothing else, it will help keep Trump sharp.
.
Shallow thinking. He seems nice, right?
So you’re willing to be Charlie Brown with Lucy holding the football.
He has no track record. What we do know of him has some red flags. A JD from Yale. Haven’t we had enoughfry of Ivy League lawyers?
1st generation immigrant. From an Indian caste system. Parents were Indian born in India.
Pushes mRNA technology and health care databases without patient consent. Takes grants from the NIH.
He talks a good story but does he really mean any of it? What’s his voting record? Why did he get at to scrub his wiki page?
Nope, too many questions and unknowns.
I wouldn’t even hire him for a cabinet position.
Parents were Indian born in India.
I know it’s not considered important by the enemy, not since the Obammunist…
But if this is a statement of fact (I have no reason to doubt that) – Vivek is in no way Constitutionally eligible to become the USA President.
So the child of immigrants who was born in the USA and who holds citizenship from birth is not eligible to be president?
By this token, John Quincy Adam’s parents were British subjects and therefore he was not eligible to be president. Not to mention the five founding fathers who served as presidents before him, all of whom were born to British subjects and not Americans.
Immigrants who become citizens via naturalization cannot be president. Natural born citizens can.
He does not appear to be Natural Born as required by the Constitution:
Vivek Ramaswamy NOT a “natural born Citizen” of the United States to Constitutional Standards – NOT Constitutionally Eligible to Be President and Commander-in-Chief of Our Military – CDR Kerchner (Ret)’s Blog
He did not hold Natural Born Citizenship at birth, and one can never backtrack and correct that deficiency. Simply being born in the US is inadequate to the fulfilling of this requirement, and he is refusing to respond to researchers who have rightly concluded he is ineligible.
Good luck with that argument in the real world.
I can see that this could be a valid issue if Ramaswamy was born to illegal immigrants, but this just isn’t the case.
To be fair, however, your argument isn’t really with me.
Your argument is with the 14th Amendment (part of the constitution) and United States v. Wong Kim Ark, 169 U.S. 649 (1898).
He is not MAGA
Of The People, By The People, For The People
Have you ever gone to a Donald J. Trump Rally ?
Have you ever watched the numerous rallys and looked at who is there in the audience ?
Do you not recall the Great Economy we had with Donald J. Trump in office ?
not unlike Obama in 2008, sometimes people just want to believe in someone who says the right things, in spite of what their background and history tell us.
Obama never said the right things
He mesmerized his target audience.
As Ramaswamy seeks to do with his.
Neither would approve the other’s words, but they would recognize their shared techniques.
To be clear, I strongly prefer DJT and want him to win.
But I also recognize that a political movement centered exclusively on a single 77 year old man without any alternatives or successors is not healthy.
A winning strategy will require bench strength with leadership that is capable of carrying on the fight in the present day and long into the future – especially if DJT gets unjustly put in jail before next election.
Think big picture. Our opponents will rob, cheat and steal to take Trump off the field. Who’s your backup QB to carry you over if they succeed (even if only temporarily)???
Big picture is that if we have absolutely no other choice we choose wisely, and this character is anything but a wise choice.
Considering the Derps’ game of dividing our loyalties, of offering substitutes for us to consider settling for, I’m not the least disposed to submitting to a single one of them.
If there is ever to be a substitution for our Lion it will not be from amongst those sent to take him down.
There have been a great many voices here attempting us to accept Rob DeSanctus in that light, now today, a massive flood for Ramaswampy, quite telling; perhaps I oughtn’t mention this but the Derps would have been better off leaving us alone than pushing so hard like this, it speaks louder than they would like but not of that they would have us buy.
I was initially open to DeSantis but have since come to recognize Sundance was right about him.
I am currently open to Ramaswamy, but my mind could easily change.
My intent isn’t even to push for the guy, but merely to counter some of the incorrect and disappointing comments being made about him. It’s fine to dislike him or not want him to be president, but not because of an arcane and inoperative constitutional interpretation regarding “natural born citizens” nor because of the historically unjust caste system in the land of his ancestors.
That historically injust caste system is as fresh to him as his own parents.
Culture Counts.
Why would be ignore that? We do so at our great peril.
I fully agree that culture counts.
Unless there is actual evidence that Vivek Ramaswamy holds beliefs in support of India’s historically unjust caste system, however, I completely disagree with the guilt by ethnic/familial association you are implying. As far as I can tell, he seems to be more of a libertarian in the classic American mold.
While we are talking about unjust systems, what about the caste system that has taken root in America under the watch of your parents and you? Should you be blamed for today’s social/political environment and barred from seeking office because the society you come from has produced a two-tier justice system and a ruling class that refers to people like us as “deplorables” who are essentially unworthy of participation in society???
Oh you really think you’re clever don’t you?
We know that every R candidate challenging PDJT is a RINO Never Trumper. In fact, if any one of them was truly MAGA and conservative, each would support Trump, call out the 2020 election as STOLEN, and they would not run against the legitimate President in 2024!
Enter another one, Viva Ramaswamy who is a slick talking wordsmith lawyer from Yale (who is now covering his tracks) and speaks perfect MAGA-ese. And just like the other R candidates, he does not support Trump by waiting his turn, and backing him, no, he runs against him.
Not to mention he had info on his Wikipedia page scrubbed because ‘hey, he told them to do it awhile ago because he told the WEF globalists he was not one of them even though his name was on their up and coming list and Paul Soros? Come on man, he’s dead and besides, Paul was independent of his brother George and this scholarship of up to $90,000 was given when he was 25, a long time ago like 12 years, ago. And there’s no quid pro quo going on for accepting the scholarship.’
Really? Stakes are way too high for this nonsense.
No, he’s not. He took scholarship money from a fund established by George Soros brother and wife. He’s never met or spoken with any Soros. The scholarship was a general award open to all. The money was put toward his law degree from Yale. Get your facts right.
Who takes money from an enemy of our country???? Oh, wait….
When was the last time some generous oligarch gave you a few hundred grand so you could go to Harvard? It’s happened to me quite a few times! LOL
I didn’t used to know who all the enemies of this country were—but I’m learning. Perhaps he (VR) is on a learning curve.
All well and good to be on a learning curve. He can do it on his dime, not mine.
Indeed.
And most certainly not on our backs.
Then why doesn’t he openly discuss it??? Just like why won’t RFK Jr disavow his party? He has affluence and name recognition… so if he’s vehemently against them… go independent. But… he doesn’t.
He needs the DNC to fund his candidacy if he wins. Blowing them up completely isn’t a good strategy.
“Learning curve”… yeah THAT’S exactly what we need in the White House. Nope nope nope!
Then tell him to come back in four years when he learns something about MAGA.
He’s only 37, I think he needs four decades to have the least chance of catching up to the level of competence we need to restore our Republic.
Thank you for the information. Now, I can look it up and make a real decision based on facts and not hear-say or something out of the liberal Marxist playbook.
Anything Soros tinted: no way.
Okay! It’s not money from George Soros. It’s Soros’ brother. Now, that makes all the difference in the world!
says Jim Biden
IKR?
Insert eyeroll here.
😁
He has been a WEF participant – fact.
He has supported NIH proposals for a COVID vaccination digital health ID – fact.
Everyone screwed up with Covid because of blue state data lies and deep state/China operations.
Covid actions are not even a way to measure candidates anymore. We were all misled from the health community we used to trust.
Lesson learned.
Nice try. Not everyone screwed up.
I didn’t and know several like me. Know some who lost jobs due to no vax.
I’m a nobody. He’s a somebody with connections to Pharma thru family.
He knew and tried to profit off of it.
And the COVID thing is only one of several things.
No, everyone did NOT screw up on covid.
And that’s a failure on you accepting that I and others followed the mass psychosis hypnosis of !FeAr! used to shuffle the cattle to the branding irons and cattle cars.
And ANY politician that forced lockdowns and citizens arrest of the POPULATION of sheep while they partied on at The Laundry! With OURT dime they were stealing BIG LEAGUE and passing around like party favors at Ed Buck’s house. ALL on OUR DIME. While they starved us out and threatened violence and death upon us for not complying!
They all committed treason with the consent of their sheep.
And covid is still a very damned good indicator of tyrants and pharma -criminals selling poisons forced by government as “medicines” for profit.
United States Constitution
Article VI Section 3
The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the members of the several state legislatures, and all executive and judicial officers, both of the United States and of the several states, shall be bound by oath or affirmation, to support this Constitution; but no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States.
He, like the tyrannical politicians we still need to remove from office, have or would have committed treason by their very actions and deeds against the citizenry.
There are 18 authorized powers of authority granted the federal government by the states. As stated in the 10th Amendment, because they wanted to be extra clear:
10th Amendment “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.”
The general misconception is that any statute passed by legislators bearing the appearance of law constitutes the law of the land. The U. S. Constitution is the supreme law of the land, and any statute, to be valid, must be in agreement. It is impossible for any law which violates the Constitution to be valid.
“All laws which are repugnant to the Constitution are null and void.” Marbury vs Madison, 5 US (2 Cranch), 137, 174, 176, (1803)
I was always told, by judges as well as others, that ignorance of the law is no excuse for committing crimes. The same is true for treason, but considering most are breaking their sworn oath of office to uphold and protect the Constitution that regulates their offices … now apply that to the CDC, FDA, EPA, etc. and the revolving door between top offices and CEOs they investigate!
no, historical Covid answers are definitely a question for wannabes.
Not all were misled. An inquiring mind could find out the true info through research via many publications.
Wrong. Lots of us smelled a rat almost immediately. I’m still a pureblood.
You gotta be kidding.
You think he’s “seen the light” on what a totally horrendous destruction of liberty any “digital health id” would be – considering that he was either dumb enough or brainwashed enough to support that idea in the first place?
I don’t think there was even one person round here who didn’t know how crazy that idea is from the first thirty seconds of a description of a glimmer of a concept…
He has sought to profit from that ID system as well.
Forget the name of the bit he was pursuing, but he wasn’t fighting the scam, he was swimming in it.
Well, I never imagined he was a winner – but this thread is a good education in how much of a loser!
It’s whack a mole time!
Yes, BUT WE’RE GOING TO VOTE FOR TRUMP ANYWAY !
There’s no reason for him to be running.
Same thing with DeSanctis.
Why vote for a copy cat ?
Yep. That’s the bottom line.
He is a promoter of calling an Article V Constitutional Convention. He is not to be trusted.
Yup.
Dropped a link about that down thread.
The ConConCon is the last resort they hope Conservatives will cling to, the relief valve of hope keeping folks on the reservation until they can take no more and stupidly flee to a Convention of the States to “Save The Constitution,” where, in reality, the Constitution would be ritually murdered and emerge a fully nonsensical rights a’plenty Communist nightmare.
It would not!
It takes 2/3 of the states to call a COS and 3/4 to ratify changes!!
What exactly do you propose to do within the legal limits of the Constituion to get this train back on track????
It’s BY LAW using our Constitution (which is the world’s longest Constitution in existence)… or Civil War… which means death for our countrymen.
Don’t we OWE IT to our children who will fight this war to use the LEGAL method first before we set ourselves and them to death?
Take the “Biblical Citizenship” free course through Patriot Academy and learn about it. It’s really important!!
WAKE UP EVERYONE… FOR OUR CHILDREN’S SAKE.. WAKE UP!! The Establishment wants the Constitutuon to die… can’t you see it??? The Constitution with Article V is not developed to destroy itself… it is there to PROTECT itself.
The argument against Article V is a fallacy. Why would it be in the Constituion if it could destroy the Constitution??? It’s to prevent federal corruption and overreach and return power to We The People!!!
If you drop the “J” in your handle, “Woo” sounds right for you.
You mean representatives for the people to rewrite the USA Constitution.
The Very COMPACT that holds and regulates the government.
And you want US to trust 2/3rds of those very same people that have put US here in this corrupt treason filled #SWAMP to fix their corruption and set the US and it’s “constitution” back on track?
Are you nuts?
Depending upon who you talk to it’s supposed to be 2/3rds of the People, not the “representatives, which is again the LIARS LYING and the people believing the professional paid LIARS!
WHY WE DO NOT NEED AN ARTICLE V CONVENTION OF STATES!
All you have to do is:
remove the corruption restore the Constitution
follow the legal law of the land once more.
‘”When once a Republic is corrupted, there is no possibility of remedying any of the growing evils but by removing the corruption and restoring its lost principles; every other correction is either useless or a new evil.” – Thomas Jefferson
And that includes the Article V Convention of States.
If you haven’t noticed, they have not been following the law as required by the Constitution for a very long time.
What makes you think they will rewrite the Constitution to better suit the PEOPLE when they are already the criminals braking the laws?
Additionally, to your excellent points, the current requirements for ratification could be and surely would be wiped away by the very delegates creating the Anti-Constitution we’d ultimately get, they literally have the power to determine the means of ratification.
They could all but deem it ratified as they announce it.
The protections we perceive having at this point simply wouldn’t exist if a Convention is convened; there’s a reason there are multiple 100 page Communist “Constitutions” awaiting the moment desperate Americans turn to the Convention of States as their last hope, the same reason so many are striving to stampede us into believing there’s no other option.
Article V NEEDS to be called to correct the course the overreaching Feds are on… that was its ORIGINAL purpose and why our Forefathers who were incredibly prescient included it.
Anyone against it is likely also against term limits… like the John Birch Society and Foundations for Applied Conservative Leadership… so used to vet threats to GOP and Uniparty Establishment.
Want to learn more? “Biblical Citizenship” free through Patriot Academy. Best Constituional introduction course one could take. Learn, study, defend, teach, and assert your Constituional rights!
You’re wrong about the John Birch Society. Either you’re ignorant or a GOPe shill.
That’s a biggie.
So you’re saying he’s a lawyer from Yale? Okay, you convinced me, he’s obviously a lying fraud.
And we know he never met a Soros? Any of them, especially the son Alex?
Why did he scrub Soros from his wiki entry just before he entered the race. Why not just own it from day 1?
He’s very young, barely old enough to be Constitutionally eligible. He’s not a natural born citizen. What’s his voting record? What’s his social media say going back 10 yea rs?
No, I don’t trust him. He’s a lawyer from Yale. No thanks.
Thank you bobcat. Glad someone try’s to be objective and run on facts
You guys are too funny!
” The scholarship was a general award open to all. ”
Soros recruitment central, please
“The money was put toward his law degree from Yale. ”
a very checkered school politics wise, and I’m being nice.
“He’s never met or spoken with any Soros”
prove it.
Correction – The scholarship wan not open to all. It was open for new immigrants.
Every year, The Paul & Daisy Soros Fellowships for New Americans (PD Soros) supports thirty New Americans— immigrants or the children of immigrants—who are pursuing graduate or professional school in the United States.
Still seems sketchy to me…

Major Sketch.
This is how most scholarships work.
People really need to understand that winning a scholarship as a young student does not entail any sort of personal connection or lifelong obligation to the entity providing the scholarship.
While I would certainly agree that Ivy League affiliations are generally cause for skepticism, I retain an open mind towards Vivek Ramaswamy at present (while still obviously preferring DJT)
For the record, another Ivy League institution is the Wharton School of Business where President Donald J. Trump earned his economics degree.
I sure wouldn’t waste my vote on him.
Most know his background . One thing he’s not is a lily livered punk backstabber.
That is exactly what he is a backstabber.
Yes!
Is that why he paid to erase the Soros connection?
If he is running against President Trump at this time… yeah, he is.
Thanks Meagain… I posted before seeing your post.
THIS INFO really needs to get out there for all the easily brainwashable GOPe
Ramaswamy is a Wall Street strawman created in the mold of Musk and Rishi Sunak.
Harvard grad who interned at a hedge fund. Had his startup software company purchased by a vulture capital foundation then moved on to further pad his bank account as hedge fund manager. When enough wealth was sucked up there, his name was penned atop a $100M offshore tax shelter called Roviant.
At Roviant Ramaswamy “found” another $400M to create subsidiary Axovant which then bought a 4-times failed drug from GlaxoSmithKline. Axovant then IPO’d and miraculously soared to $3B in market value.
Axovant failed miserably but only after Ramaswamy transferred nearly all its assets to his offshore tax shelter. And that was just the beginning of a series of shell game sales and transfers that made him a billionaire.
Thanks for the digging!
This alone should be enough to bury him.
Except some insist on seeing him as dreamy and new, sorta like an Obama for the Right.
Guaranteed he was ‘helped’ with his investments.
No one is that good without ‘insider’ help.
Reminiscent of Killary’s cattle futures.
Uh – looks like they have Tim Scott’s Plandidacy planned for that.
It’s more and more like a casting call every day.
But then again weren’t the “squad” all auditioned for their parts?
“Mr DeMille – I’m ready for my closeup!”
😉
Got it.
👍🏼
When is the last time Soros financed him?
Remember just about everyone in Congress has paid a visit to Davos, by invitation; the same would be true of any successful Silicon Valley entrepreneur.
Awful lot of excuses being made for a guy no one ever heard of before this year.

Just go to Gettr on my friend HighPoint62 account and he has the screen shots saved and posted of this stuff before it was scrubbed!!!
Donald Trump was a NY liberal till he ran for office and he turned out to be just what the country needs. Why don’t
you MAGAites give Vivek a chance before you attack. He gave an answer to the Soros, WEF and mask criticisms.
Why not allow him to have a chance, to continue to demonstrate a conservative approach to government. Just
maybe you are wrong and he is as solid as he sounds.
Trump was NEVER a Liberal. He was a Democrat.
Trump doesn’t drink and drug, or screw 14 yo and CCP agents.
Important Liberal pol qualifications.
Sure, become Governor of New York or a Senator first and we can see what he does.
Vivek HAD his chance… he has NO BUSINESS in our White House in any form of administration.
Why are you so vehemently defending a politician you never heard of before three months ago?
He does not have two natural born parents – or even one.
Ineligible.
Neither did George Washington.
So anybody getting a scholarship in their early 20s is now tied to those funding it forever?
lots of difference between a naive 16-18 yo and a 21+ with a degree already.
Do you know how expensive a graduate degree is?
Without scholarships, only the children of extremely wealthy families would have access to higher levels of education.
This would create an even more inflexible class system in than already exists in the US. What exactly are you advocating for here???
I’m not knocking scholarships, merely looking at active criminal entities
Is it ok for your kid to take Cartel money, if offered?
Might have to get a fellowship for a useful field that funds itself, or pay off loans.
(One and one for my kids’ grad schools)
America didn’t need another Soros sponsored lawyer.
Scholarships typically require would-be recipients to submit an application for the scholarship, so “getting a scholarship” is not passive. It indicates an active choice and effort.
Goog – Alliance for Responsible Citizenship and who’s involved.
When Vivek was 25 years old and with little money he signed unto a grant from Paul Soros to go to law school.
The WEF listed him as up and coming and he asked them to take his name off their web page. Finally suing them.
He was attempting to find cures for assorted illnesses and when Covid hit he was working to find cures.
Some early quotes were he said to wear masks was when Fauci was telling people not to wear masks early on. He
said his anti government libertarian nature had him saying do the opposite of what the government tells you to do.
He answered these criticisms point by point giving explanations for each. Rather the. Defaming him without proof,
look deep into his background and see if you find anything he can’t or won’t defend. Aren’t we looking for honest
government and not people who come to conclusions without facts. If there is a there there Sundance will unearth
it, until that happens let’s at least allow someone to be heard by the people without defaming and gossip.
He knows he must be a Natural Born Citizen (NBC) to be eligible to be POTUS. He was born on US soil (Ohio) but were parents naturalized citizens at that time? If not, he’s not eligible to run.
“Natural born citizen” isn’t defined in the constitution, but it’s a losing argument to claim those born on US soil with American citizenship by birth are ineligible to hold the presidency.
Perhaps.
As Citizens, however, we can make that determination on our own and say no.
Hell No.
What’s useful about this is billionaires dumping cash into a money pit.
That pit is plenty deep and there’s room for more. This will cause them to start digging NEW pits.
I realize millions to a billionaire is hundreds or thousands to normal people, but waste it they will and encourage them we must.
I agree, never has their money been more wasted and that’s a good thing!
I mean to say, they are starting to convince me. They only have to spend a little more.
Me too! Just throw a few more billion into Chris Christi and Nimrata. You’re getting close!
Ha ha!
A million here, a million there – before you know it, it’s real money…
Nuf said.

I don’t trust Ramaswamy. He is a graduate of the WEF and they recognised him as one of their Young Global Leaders. He says he supports the opposite of what the WEF stands for and sued them in 2021 to take his name off their list. To me the 2021 timeline stinks, conveniently being just before he declared his candidacy. If he doesn’t like it why not earlier? As late as 2019 he was working with the WEF.
Quotes from this link I found: https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/04/31884327/enough-is-enough-gop-presidential-candidate-wants-to-sue-wef-for-naming-him-young-global-leader-with
“Why It Matters: Ramaswamy has spoken at several WEF events, including the annual meeting in Davos. In 2019, he co-chaired the WEF’s “Healthy Futures” initiative, which focused on improving access to healthcare and promoting innovation in the sector.”
“In 2021, the businessman participated in a virtual discussion on the role of technology in addressing the COVID-19 pandemic as part of the WEF’s “Davos Agenda” event.”
His expressed conservatism is too practiced and phony. “I’m their leader, which way did they go”.
😂
I agree, he came out of nowhere. What are his credentials?
Just like obama! No one had ever heard of him.
How may liberal events did Donald Trump participate in before he ran for president? That was the reason some
conservatives took time to get behind him. When he became president he did or attempted to do everything he said
he would. At least know factually what you are talking about, otherwise you sound like Shifty Schiff
You can keep trying but you’re not going to convince anyone here to vote for Rammajamma over Trump.
OK, I get it, but I DON”T CARE!
He has not been able to answer, other than scrub scrub scrub scrub hide shell company shuffle and dance in front of the questions while claiming things he’s scrubbed but missed a whole lot of downstream (Hmm, Not Very Techie Of Him).
President TRUMP has been in sunlight, of all types of six ways from Sunday, and subject to the most insane (and it is an insanity) scrutiny of any person running in 100 years.
Vivek may face the #EneMedia “scrutiny”, but he has not passed the barest of the People’s searches into his past actions, words, and deeds.
Always working with the very same BIG everything and failing upwards, unlike how most everyone else in the world is actually treated for failures so large and impossible. Too much, too often, too scrubbed for even a “setting things straight” after years of operating fist in glove.
Keep at it Libby, you’re doing great work.
Whack-a-mole is a process, takes awhile to turn the tide of would be influencers.
You guys are too funny!
New batch, same as the old batch.
Passing the baton, BK, I’m going down for the night!
Give ’em heck!
Everyone had heard of PDJT before he decided to run, but not obama or ramaswammy. PDJT has always been America first, even when he was younger. It was easy to vote for him.
Financially, he grifted the grifters. I have no problem with that.
Intellectually, he is very gifted. #1 in his high school class, summa cum laude at Harvard. Dad was a GE engineer, mom was in medicine.
Idealogically, he checks nearly all of the boxes. Wants to pardon Trump. Wants to end our war with Russia. Wants to gut our massive federal government. And on and on.
Can he be trusted? I’ll try to find out. His high school (Cincinnati Xavier) is a few miles from my house. I know many graduates from there (including my brothers), and grew up with the school’s principal.
You guys are too funny-
Pardon an innocent man?! LOL
Trump *will* be convicted before the election.
Not because he did anything wrong, but because those who hold positions of power want him gone.
Under our legal system, the only options to undo this tremendous injustice will be to appeal and hope for a fair hearing from SCOTUS (a crapshoot at best) or to pardon him.
It’s best to take the world as it actually is, not as you wish it to be.
It’s best not to trust someone that seeks your trust by promising to pardon your President after successfully participating in a coup to replace him.
The coup to replace him already succeeded. It’s done.
We need to focus on winning the battles of today and tomorrow, not yesterday.
Donald Trump has committed no crimes and does not belong in jail, yet he will likely be convicted and imprisoned before next election. Do you have any Plan B for remedying this injustice when it happens?
The above comment assumes that “Plan A” is for Trump to win 2024, as this remains the best possible result in both of our opinions.
Vivek is in there to appeal to that strange group of Republicans who want desperately to not be called racists. You know, the ones who voted for Obama.
The one’s who have the vapors over mean tweets.. er..truths.
Mean Truths!
We need a lot of that.
Young people love him. My son wants him to be Trump’s running mate.
The debate will tell us a lot about him. The fact is he isn’t a career politician.
Desantis is done.
I don’t object if he’s MAGA. But people who aren’t MAGA eventually decloak. So we will see. He doesn’t smell like Government Party, so I’ll give him that.
He can’t be MAGA.
He’s running against PDJT.
That’s the definition of not-MAGA.
No, he’s a career globalist.
How does Christie have 5%?
Gravitass.
😂 😂
😂 too funny!
Gravitas is latin for lying, conniving a-hole right?
I see what you did with the spelling there.
Oops! I’m busted!
It’s actually 1%. It was stretched because of his excessive girth.
See, there are mindless Republican voters too. They’re not all Democrats, LOL!
I thought he could of done better in 2016 primary , if he answered the question what would his Secret Service code name be as “Donutman” instead of answering “Brave-heart” as he did in the debate. He would of looked human.
Some self depleting humor would of helped in dealing with the Obama issues.
One thing he’s never been is : Self Depleting…
😉
Yes, and he is humorless.
“Braveheart”?
More like Darth Donut.
That is what he said in the debate. At the time I could not think of a worst response, well he could of said Stalin or Hitler I guess.
You must have misheard… I could have sworn I heard “Bray Fart”.
He was eating.
Happens to the fattest of us.
He ate several opponents??
And that was just breakfast…
They tried him at 12, but he was too heavy.
They must run some of the polls by the size and girth of the candidate! The bigger tub of goo you are the more percentage points go to you!!!
It’s a +/- 4% margin of error./sarc
Literally statistical noise.
With a bit of fraud for fun.
Both factors worthy of dismissal.
In the words of my dear friend from Australia, “Sod off, Vivek Swampy”.
Or something like that- who can understand people that butcher the English language, y’all?
Casey DeSantis hits back at critics – ‘Will not back down’ VIDEO
https://commoncts.blogspot.com/2023/07/casey-desantis-hits-back-at-critics.html
LOL! She and hubby may need to back off, step down, and please slither away. Ron and Casey, the Harry and Meghan of politics. No one cares.
Stick a sock in it, lady.
Seriously… Ainsley, Jill, and Rob… hard pass on that.
That’s really not a good look. Sure, we all want our spouse to stand up for us but if you’re running for president and your wife has to defend you from the Big Meanies it doesn’t exactly inspire confidence that Meatball can handle dealing with people like Putin and Xi.
Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha, I saw some interview on Rumble of her and Meatball doing an interview with one of the sycophants from the Fox Morning show AND SHE DID MOST OF THE TALKING!!! Who does wear the pants in that family! 😆
Guess he didn’t earn it.
The gall it took for him to say in his officious teacher voice “Trump has to earn it.”
We don’t like you.
Not voting for Ramaswamy, not voting for Nimrata.
War is in the Indian’s blood.
Wow. Lots of nasty comments about Vivek. I thought there would be more thoughtful insights.
Not a good look.
Tribal nature of things nowadays.
I didn’t miss the part about WEF. That’s about as insightful as I need.
His connection to Mrna is what did it for me.
Oh Treeper Peepers….is going to be a very long election campaign season.
Sorry about the lack of trust for Vivek in this thread. But from the folks here at CTH, we have seen people say one thing and do something else, Trump’s AG, Treasury Sec, his defense Sec, FBI head both Comey and Wray, his former press secretaries, Steve Cortes, Pence, and at least 2 dozen more folks that Trump trusted that backstabbed him in the most vicious way.
So forgive some CTH folks for not greeting Vivek with a bouquet of flowers and a bottle of champagne. We don’t trust him, and we don’t trust any of the folks that say they like Trump, but are running against him. Not much insight to talk about. He will never be VP; we have already learned our lesson with VPs as well. Vivek is the snake that Trump talks about. Very smooth-talking and loveable, until he bites you.
Correct
We don’t need forgiveness, and we certainly aren’t asking for any.
Wasn’t is swampy who said everyone should drop out and support President Trump, or was that just a photo op for the media?
Skepticism towards Vivek Ramaswamy is warranted, especially given the countless fakes and backstabbers who have snaked their way into positions of trust since 2015.
In contrast, actual racism based on his ethnic background is unbecoming and unchristian.
Unfortunately, there are many among us who appear to embrace the left’s toxic views on identity politics and racial determinism. To this end, it may be worthwhile to consider the religious and ethnic background of the following MAGA backstabbers:
– Jeff Sessions
– Mike Pence
– Bill Barr
– Brian Kemp
– Mitch McConnell
– Lindsey Graham
– Kayleigh McEnany
Not to mention overt enemies of America First like the Bush clan, the Cheneys, Adam Kinziger, etc etc.
Our is a community of values, not race.
Culture Counts.
Nice to twist it into the dreaded race territory, but that’s not the deal at all.
Culture Counts, the harder the effort to suppress that the fiercer our determination to examine it.
.
Want to give us one?
.
What’s your thoughtful comment? What does he bring to the table according to Nancy Taylor?
It’s very easy to make a post like you just did.
https://www.vivek2024.com/meet-vivek/
Harvard and Yale according to his own website. Gives one a pause right there.
And when there is a problem, “there is always a man from Harvard in the middle of it”….
And a lawyer. No thanks.
Wait until you find out that Trump received a degree in economics from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania, which is also an Ivy League institution…
Nice try.
Just a quick reminder that President Trump is the incumbent and that, by-definition, running against Trump means “not MAGA”.
It’s that simple.
We are not getting suckered by the latest cast member from the Coalition of the Vibrant sent to play the role of diversity eye candy.
His campaign is so strange they sent in Tim Scott as a stunt double.
😂
Sorry. We are a DEPLORABLE bunch…
I am not sorry….
Here is an insight: Vivek conveniently recently started a Conservative Money Management Company. Just in time to be selling you on investing with him while he is running for President. Vivek is the first Millennial Grifter to run for President as a Republican.
Casey, is that you?
All based on facts too
We are wiser now about slick, rehearsed out of nowhere focus group candidates like Vivek.
Who cares about how we look.
We’re in it to win it for Trump!
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2023/07/gop-presidential-candidate-vivek-ramaswamy-faces-scrutiny-alleged/
The truth has no agenda Nancy. Vivek has questions to answer. If you’ve learned anything over the last decade it should be that there are an awful lot of fakes out there.
What do you mean by “not a good look”? Are you using the Leftist tactic to say its racist to criticize a “person of color”? You are not going to shut up people here by yelling RAYCISSSSSS!!!
I guess you skipped over the many negative facts about Ramaswamy.
You might want to reread the comments and do some research.
We have lost too much of our right to freedom, liberty., etc.
The clock is ticking!
Yes our anger is red hot
No pansy talk needed.
I appreciated the ones offering facts about his background, not innuendo and supposition. But I was disappointed to see the racial comments. I just didn’t expect that here.
I share your sentiment 100%.
Culture Counts.
He is being vetted. Nothing nasty about it. The country is at stake, and he has links to both Soros and the WEF.
You guys are too funny!
Has it occurred to you that we Treepers could care less about optics?
Soros and big pharma is an exponentially worse look.
DeSaster’s capped out his donations from many big donors and wasted it. Now a no-name who no one’s really going after, or knows how to go after, is taking his place. Rupert knows not what to do.
Why does anyone here care whom the Republican nominee will be? The fix is in. No Republican nominee will win the Presidential election.
Change my mind. Please.
I fear for my country. But I am not foolish enough to think we can win the next election at the executive level. There is no apparent path to an electoral majority.
I think people are holding out hope because they know what comes next if you’re right.
I fear what comes next. The “elites” running the pants-soiling dotard look forward to victory. They do not know what that means.
That’s the sad truth about this entire discussion. We’re optimists? It’s so bad that some Democrats will change their vote to the point that cheating won’t matter?
Trump is the nominee. He has my vote regardless of what the gop does.
Agree.
.
If you try your best, yes you may not succeed. But it’s a guaranteed failure if you don’t try at all.
Especially with so very much at stake.
.
100%
2018 – stolen
2020 – stolen
2022 – stolen
2024 – soon stolen
to believe otherwise is foolishness
sure, it may take 2 months post election to manipulate the final tallies, but that’s simply today’s s.o.p. and noone will suffer any consequences and the fake results will stand
will the people stand, that’s the $64k question
There are several operations in the works of stopping the fraud before the vote. Millions $ in it already.
President Trump means exactly that & a lot more talking about “guard the vote.”
We’re not just waiting around this time.
.
The patriots who won the War for Independence did so in a divided country in which seemingly every other person was a Tory. They embarked on a foolish mission against the greatest military might in the world. We can do this. Overwhelm the polls.
.
thank you for your response, outhouse
but can we stipulate the battle wasn’t won at the ballot box?
that’s my driving point
.
True. But we have to try the ballot box first. 🙂
.
After a long train of abuses and usurpations. . . steal that just one more time!!
(Need a Pulp Fiction meme for this)
Drive that narrative…drive it !
We’ve seen a lot of others trying to do what you are.
Move along.
What narrative? Tell me how I’m wrong. I’d love to be wrong.
ok, grab pen and paper and let’s do the math…
i do not know in which state you reside, but no matter…
from the date 11/2020 until today’s date, proceed to add the number of your state’s federal congress members who have been fighting tooth and nail for free and fair elections to how many of your two senators doing the same
now multiply that aggregate number (which is zero) by 50 states
50 x 0 = zero chance the coming national election results are not rigged
fwiw, displaying hostility and/or shoooting the messenger does not and cannot change the equation
aloha
Find another branch on another tree.
What does that even mean?
You guys are so funny!
Indeed.
It used to be that on occasion, one could overcome the Margin of Fraud (in the 15-20% range) — as Trump did in 2016.
Now, with mail-in voting and all the historical inner-city machine fraud (voting rates > 100% of residents, dead people voting, easily-hackable Dominion voting machines that refuse to be made open source & public, etc.) and other post-covid unconstitional nonsense (no voter roll clenaup, no signature verification, no ID, voting a month before and weeks after the election date), etc. … the fraud is now likely in the 30-40% range.
BTW, I’m convinced the Trump received over 100 million votes in 2020 with 20% of them switched to Biden by Dominion — and that he actually won California.
Trump won 40 states in 2020. That’s why they panicked and pulled the plug on election night.
If they had let that through, there would have been carnage across the Federal bureaucracy and more than a few arrests for treason and sedition.
I like the way you think.
Me too!
Get a room!
😁
Just being a smarty pants, Bro! You know I’m silly that way . . .
Dig a hole. Jump in.
Bye bye.
Because we’re fighters. We’re not gonna just lay down and quit and let the Left take over everything and legalize things like mutilating children. If nothing else we’ll force them to make up 30 million fake votes. We’ll force them to commit more blatant fraud so more people can see it for themselves. If you wanna quit and go hide and just wait to die, go ahead. We’ll be over here fighting for our lives and our freedom anyway we can. And right now, the best way we can fight them is to support the man they hate the most.
After the terrible display FOX made with their flunky Chris Wallace they have used up my tolerance of abuse and contempt for their viewers. I will not watch anything on FOX. They can keep their bias I’ll be waiting to see how it went on Newsmax.
Nowhere within this article is it noted that Vivek is a Soros darling???!!!
Come on! People need to know this PRONTO.
https://www.pdsoros.org/meet-the-fellows/vivek-ramaswamy
Vivek is a good guy
He took a scholarship with Soros’s name on it, I’d do the same thing with Hitler on it, especially with tuition through the roof for undergraduate and graduate schools
Really?
Did you ever research pre-WWII with Hitler and during WWII with Hitler?
How old are you?
You make a deal with the devil… it always comes with a price… usually an eternal one.
And who of us would go to Soros for a scholarship? Who would even think of it?
There are a million other places to go first.
Way to sell the creep.
So convince us he’s a good guy. Show some proof.
He’s very young, barely eligible to run for president. He’s a 1st generation citizen, so not natural born. He comes from a background of a caste system.
What caste are he and his parents?
What’s his voting record since he was 18?
Why did he attend and speak at Davos several times, then decide he’d not want their stigma. He didn’t know that in 2019?
Why did he pay Wikipedia to erase the Soros name from his page?
Let’s see 10 years of his social media.
How did he become a billionaire if his company went bust?
I’m sure I can think of quite a few more but this will do for a start.
I do not know if Vivek Ramaswamy is actually good guy and cannot answer any questions to this effect.
To address the rest of your comment:
– being born on US soil confers birthright citizenship under the 14th Amendment and United States v. Wong Kim Ark, 169 U.S. 649 (1898)
– Vivek Ramaswamy was born in Ohio. Is there a caste system there I am unaware of?
– England had a very defined and rigid class system which still exists to this day. Should people of English origin be asked what class their families were? The US today is increasingly stratified like a caste system as well.
– Since when do we look at a candidates voting record since the age of 18? I can assure you Donald Trump voted for democrats in the past on both the state and federal level.
– In prior decades, most young business students were unaware of the malevolent nature of the WEF and merely viewed such organizations as high profile venues for professional development and networking.
– Winning a scholarship does not mean that the recipient shares any personal or ideological connections with the benefactor (or his brother). Perhaps you should look into how scholarships are awarded for more insight into this matter.
Again, none of the above means Vivek Ramaswamy is a good guy. But they don’t necessarily make him a bad guy either.
vivek considered it a scholarship
ssoros considered it an investment
it’s not a stretch to conclude ssoros expects a return on the investment, wef too
Maybe you stumbled across the wrong website.
How do you know he’s a good guy? Are you family?
Not sure the best defense of Rammajamma is to invoke Hitler but okay. We’ll include you in his 12% support.
Vivek built a company while at Harvard and he sold it before He went to Law school at Yale with PD Soros money. He could have paid His own way – He had the funds. White American boys have almost zero scholarships available to them that are not specifically for Italian Americans or Swedish heritage etc… The Microsoft scholarship specifically excludes American White Young Men because Bill Gates considers them privileged (although there may be a financial need). His scholarship is available to anyone else, i.e. white female, POFC, foreigners, etc.
“Vivek is a good guy”
”Good” may not mean what you think it does…
Not sure if there are any sci-fi geeks around here who might get this, but Ramaswamadingdong reminds me of Plastic Mickey from the Doctor Who episode ‘Rose’.
Parfait! Exactement ca!
Allons-y!
Just another soap opera plot line. Don’t fall for it.
He would consider a Democrat as his running mate? Oh boy. This is getting good.
https://www.wmur.com/article/vivek-ramaswamy-rfk-jr-potential-running-mate/43878815#
Oh I see. Probably wants to run with RFK.
I don’t think even RFK would be stupid enough to run with an idiot who thinks digital health ids are a good idea.
Would have been smarter to just compliment RFK jr (the way Trump did) then to out and out say you would consider him for VP. Yikes.
Repub candidates want to win over the RFK jr supporters once he is taken out of the running by dems.
Whoever is pushing RFK2.0 is hoping he’ll reclaim the MAGA Dems faithful to Trump.
Good luck retaining them after shooting him down, so to speak, (too soon? I wasn’t even going there it just popped out, honest).
Wilbur Ross to host Hamptons event for emerging White House hopeful Glenn Youngkin
https://pagesix.com/2023/07/18/wilbur-ross-to-host-hamptons-event-for-white-house-hopeful-glenn-youngkin/
Thanks for this.
All I can say is I thought nothing could surprise me any more, but this did.
I hope the story isn’t true. I liked Ross so much in the administration.
Me too
Very disappointing
Peter Navarro, an avid Trump supporter, had nothing good to say about Ross.
He was not MAGA and he and Mnuchin made the trade deals very difficult.
Not relevant to this conversation but it made an impression on me.
Navarro said he liked Ross’ wife and she was a nice lady but Wilbur was extremely emotionally abusive to her. Peter gave examples.
I was one of those who had a rosy opinion of this sweet little old man until I read Peters book.
Thank you. I’m sorry to hear that and didn’t know it. But at least I feel better about if Ross is giving a fundraiser!
One thing for sure is Peter is 100% MAGA. I haven’t read his book, but listen when he’s on War Room.
Wilbur, Wilbur…remember it was YOU who coined the infamous phrase:
“Underestimate Donald J. Trump at your own peril.”
Remember?
You even stated while serving in HIS CABINET!
What happened to DeSantis’ Hampton fundraiser? Did he have to cancel it?
I think he did a KMart Blue Light Special on the price (sundance recent article).
That’s a shock! Very disappointing, too.
A bit about Vivek:
.
(1)
A week after Jan 6, Vivek tweeted:
“What Trump did last week was wrong. Downright abhorrent. Plain and simple. I’ve said it before and did so in my piece,” Ramaswamy tweeted on Jan. 12, 2021.
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/campaigns/gop-2024-candidates-possible-trump-indictment-reactions
.

Vivek owns a company in the mRNA Covid-19 vaccine industry. His company, Genevant, supplies lipid nanoparticles to a company that is developing the next generation of Covid-19 vaccine.
Industry article (link below):
“Genevant, one of the companies in Ramaswamy’s extensive Vant universe, coalesced in April 2018 around the idea of deliverng advanced RNA therapies with LNP technology sourced from Arbutus Biopharma.
In January, Genevant reached a deal with Gritstone Oncology to license out its LNP tech for a suite of “self amplifying RNA” vaccines for Covid-19. Gritstone agreed to dole out $192 million in future payouts as part of the agreement.”

Another of Vivek’s companies, Datavant, has raised concerns.
“Vivek Ramaswamy has yet to respond to allegations that his company partnered with the National Institutes of Health to create a database of patients’ personal medical information.
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2023/07/gop-presidential-candidate-vivek-ramaswamy-faces-scrutiny-alleged/

Scrubbing of Wikipedia page of two pieces of info:
“According to Mediate, Ramaswamy seems to have paid Wikipedia editor “Jhofferman,” to remove content from his page that Ramaswamy believed would undermine his candidacy in the Republican primary. A few days later, Ramaswamy declared his intention to run in 2024.
“According to the article’s version history, the editor removed lines about Ramaswamy’s receipt of a Paul & Daisy Soros Fellowship for New Americans in 2011,” the outlet reported.”

Terrific research!
Cheers!
They were calling this guy a GOP candidate in 2021?
Vivek entered the race in February of this year, so no, he was not a candidate in 2021.
His old tweets from just after J6 have been noticed and articles are coming out comparing what Vivek said about President Trump just after J6 versus what candidate Vivek is saying now.
Here’s another article with a similar call out of how Vivek spoke about President Trump in Jan 2021.

Nice layout.
(Contradiction?)-DeSantis is still portrayed as a “Rising Star” despite the embarrassing poll results. Vivek’s polls are rising however.
According to the Kaplan Strategies article —“As we move forward, it’s likely we’ll see the lower-tier candidates drop off,” Kaplan predicts, “and their voters will either return to Trump or rally behind rising stars like Ramaswamy or DeSantis.”
.
Ramaswamy about to be embraced as Plan B?
.
Well, according to Kaplan Strategies….ought to stop you right there.
Now all Ramaswamy needs to do is change his name to Vic Ramsey.
My guess is that Vivek is a sleeper RNC choice. There sure seem to be a lot of his supporters, or AI, here propping him up.
If he’s so good, why does he need propping up?
It is rather strange how strong some people (bots?) feel about a guy they never heard of until a few months ago. Notice how none of them answer why Vivek is running against Trump if he’s MAGA.
He and DeSantis could be the ticket the Rinos pick. In one way or the other. Not a woman, but with a name that implies ‘diversity.’
Okay, great -Trump’s ahead in the polls – as far as I’m concerned he won last time too – but what good is it with unabashed election fraud wherever progressives maintain power? And also don’t forget these fascist pieces of shit released a pandemic to usurp power – they’re perfectly happy to kill millions – and just because the last engineered virus wasn’t universally fatal doesn’t mean the next one won’t be.
There is no bottom layer for these people
Vivek Ramalamadingong > Redrum DeathSantis
/Actually, Vivek continues to impress because, unlike DeSantis and like Trump, he comes across as extremely genuine and authentic — two of the four rarest virtues among pols (the other two being courageous and truthful).
Once the heat on his not-MAGA reality starts, he may lose a tad of authenticity…

You mean the Vaxx’ deadly consequences? Gonna fix ’em with more RNA?
There was an old lady who swallowed a fly . . .
All my chips are on Trump. All this theater and wishful thinking on the part of the DC sewer will make no difference in next years election.
Our rightful POTUS and his Goddess will return whether they like it or not.
I was lucky enough to see Melania at a rally, she has an ethereal beauty, she floats when she walks.
He’s cut from the same cloth as all the other RNC/uni-party/globalist wannabe GOP POTUS candidates but differentiates himself by getting special attention and funding directly from the Soros group. That means he’s being paid to permanently remove DJT and MAGA from the political playing field. Note, being intelligent does not mean he’s qualified

Chris Christie did exactly the same thing to the voters of New Jersey who re-elected him to the Statehouse that Ron DeSantis did to the voters of Florida.
Pence got 4%?
And Chris Crispy 5%? 🤔 🤨
Exactly! Mr Kaplan has his own agenda.
But remember the bullshit of “DeSantis is more electable”🤣🤣🤣🤣
“No baggage”! 🙃
They said DeceptiCON RON! would be a better LOSER.
Enjoy the show!
I have no reason to believe that Vivek is the real deal, even though he articulates MAGA principles a lot more convincingly than Ron D. does. But I’d say we should save the vetting about Vivek’s many questionable past associations for another thread, because, being as we don’t trust any of the other candidates in the Hollywood Squares matrix, we DO first need someone to emerge to take out DeSantis and knock his ass down a well deserved peg or ten. If Vivek is the one to do that, more power to him in the short run.
Then, in due time, we can go about discrediting him and knocking his likely insincere ass down a peg, too. But let’s dispatch with DeSantis/Casey first, and then proceed from there.
My thinking exactly, Right Mover!
Nah, we’re really good at multi-tasking. And I’m not the least bit worried about Meatball, you can put a fork in him. He’s done.
Exactly!
We’re surrounded!
The poor bastards . . .
DeStablishment is already toast.
This article thread has already supplied me with all the ammunition for a great elevator speech.
After all we went through with CoupVid-19(84), do we seriously want to consider a Pig Pharma guy? That’s crazy talk!!
(By the way – Vivek seems just the type that independents & libertarians will go for. But they will drop him overnight once they find out he’s Pig Pharma.)
Faux News infotainers got the sadzzzz
All right, who’s the 5% backing Chris Christie?
I have heard some reports that Christie is taking neverTrump support away from DeSantis, so maybe that’s what’s going on there.
Donut Shop Owners and Futures Financings.
Mittens probably voted in the poll multiple times.
New Jersey:)
Just an observation – upon realizing that Texas Governor Greg Abbott has a “Hollywood Square” up there on the chart :
pro-MAGA Texas AG Paxton who was recently impeached by the Texas legislature beat out GPB (George Prescott Bush) quite nicely in the primary, so to me it seems they (The Bush Family & Associates) are still working on clearing the way for GPB to become AG and then Governor for Texas, all on the way to running for President.
So, with regard to the current Texas Governor, Greg Abbott – he is not truly MAGA if he is also in the running for President, so was he perfectly A-OK with what is being done to the Texas AG? Is he just twiddling his thumbs? Is Abbott on board with The Bush Family in facilitating the rise of GPB?
The pattern is to have a Democratic President and then put in a Bush – maybe let a Democrat win this next round and then bring in GPB who will have been Texas AG and Governor – RDS doesn’t even know that he is just being deployed in the hopes of thwarting Trump and MAGA and he will be thoroughly neutralized politically and not be in the way, down the road.
Puzzle pieces forming a shape, of the aim of Jeb Bush to push his son GPB.
Team Unipartys share of the pie, although completely fake, adds up to around 41% now. Now thats team work.
A vote against Trump is a vote for China/uni-party. He’s the only anti china government candidate.
China is running a lot of countries in the world already. They have already hi-jacked the elections. If another election goes their way it’s over in the USA.
That’s the only issue this election. Good vs evil.
Actually, I think Vivek has the ability to bring along people who are non-partisans in the General as a VP.
I was originally thinking of Aaron Donalds but someone here mentioned that as a younger man he had some problem with crime. I was unaware of that and did a quick check of his bio. It’s true.
I am hoping Rep. Donalds is squarely on the right track now and perhaps with another few years under his belt, during which time he can continue to be a great spokesperson for MAGA, he can be a leader in the party for a long time.
Byron Donalds.
VP?
Any of these loser plandidates as VP?
I really do hope PDJT reads here, as it’s been suggested occasionally – because I think I can hear him laugh all the way down the coast…
Maria B asked him that question and he sidestepped it quite neatly.
Given the issues Ramaswamy has, it’s pretty bad for RDS. People didn’t want Jeb!, they didn’t want Cruz, and they don’t want RDS. Of course none of this really matters to the GOPe since Biden is their boy.
Biden is not their boy, but he will be their choice against President TRUMP and the USA citizenry (and Constitution).
Let’s be honest.
And using Nancy Pelosi as an example …
The GOPe would rather “elect a glass of water” then allow US to re-elect President TRUMP AGAIN!
They will spill that quarter full glass that is Biden and slide in Gruesome and Rice.
Still better than voting for any of our globalist royaltys pre approved stable of candidates.
Never voting for the lesser of two evils, or “vote holding my nose” again.
President Trump or nothing.
Dude supports the civilizational suicide that is the Convention of States to erase and rewrite our Constitution:
Vivek Ramaswamy Pledges to Support Congressional Term Limits Amendment
Eternally Disqualified on that single measure alone.
Looks like the Meatball will be sleeping on the couch for awhile.
I would like to know who recommended Vivek be a part of the Trump administration. THAT person is untrustworthy.
No doubt about it .
Mark Levin interviewed Meatball, sucking up to him . Pathetic
Has anyone checked to confirm it’s not ken Griffin holding that flag?
This was inevitable. Ever since DeSantis made his cheap, low-brow remark about porn actresses, DeSantis was doomed. He showed his colors. Ramaswamy won’t last as some of his stuff slowly comes to light, but this is all about dragging this out while they try to slip somebody else in at the end. I wonder if it won’t be Gov Abbott who they throw at Trump at the last minute. He’s another RINO who has done squat for conservatives in this state(Texas.) The big thing is: Will these people in the current House majority do ANYTHING? It’s one heckuva party, ain’t it? Take Trump out of the GOP, and you’ve got maybe two fat hands-full of decent people. Ramaswamy is smooth in his delivery, and he talks a good game…now. Problem is, I think he’s as much of a put-on as Rob, but slightly more personable and smooth in his delivery.
Kemp is on deck.
Watched a local (ga.)interview with kemp. He wants to be there for PDJT. Kiss and make up. No hard feelings. He’s NOT MAD AT PDJT. Something not right here…

She looks in that picture as if she’s grinding her teeth.
Vivek is a terrific candidate, and the Soros connection is weak- accepting a scholarship when he was 25 from Soros’ brother who was not in business with George Soros? Vivek’s ideas are very anti- Soros.
I’d like to see DeSantis drop out and be a class act by throwing his support to President Trump.
And Barack Obama was just a community organizer with solid midwestern family roots.
My best guess is the majority of Ramaswampy’s supporters are actually Trump voters who aren’t convinced Trump can survive the Communist Justice Department who’s bound and determined to eliminate Biden’s main competition in classic Stalinist style.
Vivek says all the right things but so did Bill Barr. I’ll pass.
It’s way, WAY too early to be calling Vivek a “terrific candidate,” unless a commenter is 1) very gullible or 2) sent to the Treehouse as part of a coordinated effort to prop him up and hype his candidacy.
Which is it, 1) or 2) ?
Also too early to be calling a commenter gullible, or a troll.
I’m voting for Trump, but Vivek is currently second on my list.
“Also too early to be calling a commenter gullible, or a troll.”
No, not if someone proclaims an unvetted stranger who came out of nowhere “a terrific candidate” before he’s been tested AT ALL. Too many who have come before have been trusted who then failed the test.
You want to say, “Vivek’s got my attention; I’m interested in knowing more,” fine. But don’t try to peddle anybody in those Hollywood Squares off as “a terrific candidate” on July 20, 2023.
Why is Vivek running against Trump?
There is a world of difference between a politician’s stated ideas and his actual ones.
Skipping Turning Point USA in Florida last week was a nail in the coffin. Meanwhile Vivek shined and was a hit with the youth. Dumbest strategy ever. But what do you expect behind the brainiac Jeb Bush Please Clap campaign.
