Things are a little weird in Iowa as one of the candidates thought it would be a great idea to start rapping on stage, and then things get really uncomfortable. There are moments in every eco-chambering campaign where the responsible voice in the room says, “no – just no” and protects the candidate from the big stupid.
I’m not exactly sure what the goal and objective is here, but (a) Ramalamadingdong did not have that voice in the room; and (b) apparently no longer wants to be considered as a viable candidate. Nothing else quite explains this level of cringe. WATCH:

Ramaswamy was told by the club to cool it because he was beating DeSantis in the polling.
Not a bad theory – He certainly managed that if that was the goal – couldn’t imagine a worse audience demographic or venue for that embarrassing .ridiculous “performance “… can he top that on the debate stage – that is the only remaining question I think .?
I don’t know. Look at all the young people up front singing along with Vivek. Look at how many wanted to shake his hand & one guy gives Vivek his white hat…probably an expensive hat with Eminem written on it.
He was trying to appeal to the young voters and missed it. I doubt the club even noticed him. They are busy enough with Haley and DeSantis.
Vivek just brought a lot of the youth vote over to his camp.
This will backfire on DeFraud & the Big Club.
I immediately thought of B. Clinton and his televised saxophone solo. I think that Ramaswamy got a big profile boost, and endeared himself to a lot of young voters….at the expense of Donald Trump!
Or did Vivek just have his “Howard Dean” moment?
Should find out shortly.
Clinton was trailing GHW Bush in the polls before he went on the Arsenio Hall Show; he got a big surge in popularity from that appearance. Bush appeared later and sort of bombed.
Just think some republi-con strategist thought this was a great idea and would get your vote.
Just watched the Dean scream video.LOL
Yes. The equivalent of “Dad Dancing.”
I sincerely doubt that.
Ditto Maquis…. Trump is not going to lose young people to bad rap karaoke.
Never underestimate the fools behind the candidate. I would not want to put my life or image in the hands of those running his election campaign.
Here, locally, we have a woman running for a local office. She was the only candidate on the Republican Primary ticket. So, she never campaigned and did not show herself to the public. Her campaign managers said no need for her to use that time or any money to communicate with about 5,000 voters, both R and Ds, to gain name recognition and make a name for herself.
The incumbent has been in office for 20 years., that said, 3,500 people out of 5,000 voted for him in the D primary. She got 900 votes without campaigning
Now she has a real uphill battle to become known and accepted by a bunch of rural people who love the man she is running against.
That strategy may work for her, but I think it takes a long time to court those who don’t know you very well. There is no time to make mistakes. Looks like Ramaswamy may have the same group advising him with his campaign.
That is one way to look at it -through the wrong end of the telescope , as they say . Or as General Custer’s scouts said to him “ just a bunch of Turkey feathers over that hill …”
dumb
Whatever you need to tell yourself to get through the day.
Rama certainly appeals to the younger crowd. My son and his friends really like him, but they want to see him as Trump’s vp.
It’s clear that the race is for vp now. Trump is the nominee.
Desantis still thinks he can be president. I’d say that officially ended after yesterday’s disaster. Everyone else is auditioning for vp. Rama is offering himself as the anti establishment choice to reach independents and younger voters.
Gather the kids to do a bit of research on Vivek. Off Wikipedia.
They will be very surprised.
There is a lot of negativity here and I get that. However, at his age he grew up with this song. It might be a bit dated for today’s youth and probably many here do not know it, but I am sure he knew the lyrics from high school/college. It was the first rap song to win an Oscar for best song. In that genre, it is a classic. Marshall Mathers is an idiot, but he did well with this one.
How so?
Well, that’s a definite maybe.
If a young person votes for someone for president because he rapped an Eminem song then they are complete idiots. If that is all it takes to sway a weak mind to vote for someone then we are in bad shape.
Might as well vote for Meatball because he wears cowboy boots and serves a great hard boiled egg.
This won’t hurt Trump bc these young people are all about America First.
What is does is help finish DeFraud off sooner… helping Trump to pivot & focus on pedo joe exclusively. Trump plans on building out the infrastructure in the swing states…but he’s not going to start before he has the nomination sewn up.
Trump donors don’t want to pay for building an infrastructure that some America Last POS can use if the GOPe ends up stealing Trump’s rightful nomination win.
Sorry , just saw this, way too weird – 3 observations 1) he wants to be the American Justin Trudeau, and this was an out of town try out – big flop /close the show as they say 2) He thought he was back at one of his hedge fund group meetings where all the 20 something employee suck ups would cheer him on and 3). Just too bizarre for any rationale explanation…
I vote #2!
It might ok if only he had talent. I think might have been trying to up Trump when he does his dance. The difference is you have to be yourself.. genuine and it didn’t work. Just be who you are.. people can see the real you.
The Sunday shows will ambush with this clip.
Just a feeling, but I think he wins the debate being Trump’s stand in.
Make that the FAKE standin.
It was what DeStablishment was trying for until sundance outed him as a globalist.
Vivek is the very same thing – just a globalist wolf in populist disguise. Believes in TPP, “digital healthcare ID,” nope nope nope.
He’s exposed now.
Yep. I see Vivek wiping the floor with DeFraud.
All this works to Trump’s advantage bc the sooner we can dispatch the DeFraud from FL, the sooner the pivot to pedo joe…the corrupt pervert.
Well, maybe after all, there is a market for politicians de-tasseling corn?
Vivek is way too short to detailed corn!
I don’t see it as a big deal. He’s young and feeling things out. I don’t agree with some of what he says but i respect that he started at zero and has pulled ahead of the USS DeSantis
He won’t be the nominee but he has a future in politics.
“He has a future in politics.”
He’s a swamp critter, and then you guys wonder how Congress gets full up with swamp critters. Maybe we could start by not supporting more swamp critters….
The troll is strong with Nancy… Michael B.
If you’re running for President and you’re not named Trump, you’re a Uniparty hack. I have no time for any of them.
Ah, okay. Makes sense. Thanks!
Anyone who has a different opinion = troll. Got it.
These pretenders riding on President Trump’s coattails are a waste of time.
Our country is ina heap of a mess.
President Trump is tried and true.
You must be Nancy’s partner. Double team the message comments.
Nancy sees a racist under every comment. If you mention the Indian caste society and Vivek’s ancestry to such society she get very upset and thinks that it is a RACIAL component instead of a CULTURAL component.
Agree, it’s crash and burn time.
Trump is the only person I will vote for even if I have to write his name in. There are also some local races I’m paying attention to, i.e., supervisor of elections. There is a real dirt bag wants to get in there to help with the cheating.
Time to get rid of all the swamp rats.
I agree, but the problem we have seen so many campaign and represent true conservative values. Then after they are in D.C. for about six months, they change.
I remember the old Joni Ernest and now I see the critter that she has become. They think the public doesn’t notice.
I agree, but I’m just talking about people we know are swamp rats. For instance, voting for TPP is an automatic swamp rat, and for someone to come along and say, why, they ain’t so bad….they’re either clueless swamp rat enablers or swamp rats themselves, which to me isn’t a whole lotta daylight’s difference between the two.
My Sunday guffaw moment …excuse me , don’t mean to be rude –
Based on the title of this, I thought it would be far worse. I agree… I don’t see it as a big deal. It’s just a State fair appearance, having a little fun with a sparse crowd. C’mon, man!
“NANCY????? NANCY TAYLOR????? Lincoln High School in Pittsburgh?”
Thank you for that level-headed perspective. That rap performance may be silly and distasteful to many of us, but it’s a mainline right into the hearts of many younger voters. The Iowa fair audience may not have been appreciative but the millions who will see it on social media will likely be much more receptive. This could end up being a big net positive for him.
I think it’s stupid, but it doesn’t affect my opinion one way or the other. The TPP business, however, has greatly brought him down in my estimation.
So professional….so “presidential “…..NOT. Be afraid, Putin; be very afraid!!
He’ll rap Putin into submission! 😂
Yes, schoolyard-level nicknames and taunts are much more “presidential”.
We have to come to grips to the fact that we are in an era when NO ONE acts the way we used to define “presidential”.
A president who is straight forward, calling out R.I.N.O. s and enemies of our Republic as he puts America First is my kind of leader. President Donald J. Trump.
I venture to say some prefer the sneaky
Barry/ Holder type of administration or the N.W.O. daddy Bush type.
He is a millennial who has earned too much, too fast without making a durable product. You really learn valuable lessons when you build things that aren’t software.
I like Vivek, but antennae rose when he endorsed Obama’s TPP.
This man totally lost me when he said he would pardon Hunter Biden!!!!!!!!! First of all, he’s NOT going to be president so he will be in no position to do so. Secondly, that assertion says to me that faithfulness to the laws of the land is secondary to politics. We have that now and it’s incredibly destructive.
Strange song choice. Eminem is rabidly anti-Conservative and just as rabidly pro-Democrat, with his songs encouraging physical harm to Conservatives.
https://southpawers.com/2020/11/03/political-songs-by-eminem/
So either Ramaswampy has no situational awareness, or he did it intentionally…..
Eminem has an Epstein or Epstein-like problem.
I think there may be something coming, that Marshall Mather’s name has come up in the political space twice in two weeks.
Interesting.
Love that cat 🤣🤣🤣
What was he thinking?
Joe Biden: “If you don’t vote for me, then you ain’t black.”
Ramaswamy: If you don’t vote for me, then you can’t rap.”
Meatball: “please clap.”
Trump: If you don’t vote for me…you ain’t AMERICA FIRST!
Just do your research folks. He is connected to WEF. He will not work for us. They think his age & energy will gather voters against Trump. I think he is ridiculous. One website I follow claims his citizenship is not in order for him to run for president, but hey, Kamala’s in.
Barry was born in Kenya.
It’s his Howard Dean Scream. . .
“YEEEEEEEE-AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!”
. . .moment!!
Well now, a rapper who’s an aspiring president.
Remember Bill Clinton and the saxophone?
There’s a segment of the population who will love Ramaswamy’s rapping.
Well, at least one person in that crowd clapped. That’s a start!
Are the “Saxophone” posters for real ? Seriously THAT was Not the first thing that came into my mind …..
It’s funny how these posters come up with the same exact talking points to defend their heartthrob much like the MSM does.
Not sure what possessed him to think this would get him votes but I am afraid this was not a good look, just sayin’.
I was embarrassed for him. Just bizarre.
Well…that happened.
The question for me is if God forbid anything or anyone should stop President Trump from being on the R ticket, and if Rama whatever would secure the nomination, would I vote for him?
Never! His bio is downright Soros scary.
This fool raps then says “if elected he will pardon Trump and Hunter.”
See the juxtaposition there? He’s equating Hunter with Pres Trump! Aesopian leftist tactic.
This guy’s another globalist aligned with all the entities destroying us.
Sorry , your first paragraph is a disqualifier , no need to comment …
Now that we see them naked…..there are no words.
only young people and blacks “appreciate” rap music.
Things against V. Ramaswamy:
Harvard
Yale
Hedge fund
Pharma
I’m no theologian but does not Hinduism hold the caste system as an article of faith?
Besides the bad rapping, what’s the difference between this guy and Desantis?
Not much but there is another difference. Vivek speaks Christian BUT he is a devout Hindu.
He attended a Jesuit School from K-12 so he knows what Christians want to hear but he doesn’t buy into it.
Excellent point, Jesuit-educated.
As lame as it was, at least we know Ramalamadingdong ( I love that!) was there. Other that Rob making an absolute fool of himself, did any of the other candidates show up?
President Trump starts with a song about loving America. This guy raps about…what was he rapping about?
State Fair Midway Freak Show! Hold on folks, Little Nikki up next!
Now we know how Ramaswamy acts after a few beers and a corndog.
Remember the Howard Dean scream??
America First, MAGA, President Trump all the way!
Americans don’t need the Ramawamy Side-Show.
This is what soured me on this guy.
The power of Presidential Pardon was intended to correct a miscarriage of justice, not give someone (in this case an entire, long-standing organized criminal enterprise) absolution for a case that has been ripe for and in need of prosecution for over four years now.
………. and the bit about pardoning PDJT as an inducement to abandon the former president and trust Vivek instead, is just as off-putting, IMO.

GOP 2024 candidate Vivek Ramaswamy ‘open’ to pardon of Hunter Biden
https://nypost.com/2023/08/12/gop-candidate-vivek-ramaswamy-open-to-hunter-biden-pardon/
Next thing you know, Vivek will be doing Mr Cheezle impersonations.
Vivek is to smart – this was a directive from the RNC and he is following orders.
No, it’s not the Dean Scream.
No, it’s not the Clinton sax solo on Arsenio Halls show. ( I saw both when they happened.)
This is Rammy before a bunch of donor/voters trying to shock the system and get them thinking about him differently.
This is Bullworth, straight from the movie. Go watch it you will see.
I wonder if Rammy had a late night crying epiphany where he saw what he was doing like in the movie.
Or maybe he saw the movie.
It wouldn’t hurt a few of these people to go watch Redford in “The Candidate” and see how transparently packaged they are.
Can’t any longer!
Can’t any longer!
Well, I would venture to say that he certainly succeeded in “getting them thinking about him differently” There is no doubt about that , but probably not in a good way … just saying
and I would venture to say the word “bull” is in there somewhere but the second half of that word is not “worth”.
That’s good …. But as someone mentioned above in a Saxophone comment – If V had saved this ‘cute “ act for a late night TV appearance with a fawning ‘hip” NYC audience it might have gone over –
But he blew it debuting it in this venue and audience , a total bomb . But maybe that was intention – as above stated – got the message to cool it – (?) who knows .
But Clinton /Saxophone / late night -he was in it to Win it over old GHWB ( the worse candidate up until Biden ) – But whatever the motivation – it was an embarrassing stunt that failed .IMHO .
Your first sentence is a disqualifier…
Weak
When you see this level of incompetence, stupidity, totally out of touch with America, and delusional, you have to wonder where they got the votes needed to be on the debate stage? You have DeSantis in a total flaming fireball spiraling towards the ground, traitor Mike Pence telling America that their crumbling, rotting cities is NOT his concern, only Ukraine is, Now Ramaswamy “the Rapper” has permanently finished off his bid for the White House with this shameful, disgusting display of a presidential candidate. Traitor Ronna McDaniel will really earn her dirty money trying to get this pack of losers anywhere near Washington, DC, much less the White House. I have noticed old lying Ted Cancun Cruz, career politician, is laying back letting the trash take out itself, before he struts in to save the World. Just remember how old Ted stabbed President Trump in the back, how he ran off to Cancun, Mexico in February 2021 with his family when Texas experienced the worst cold weather in memory, people dying, power out everywhere, no food, everything frozen, no concern of Ted`s, he was just reelected in 2018 November election ONLY because President Trump carried lying Ted, on his shoulders, to victory, then Ted stabs him in the back the first chance he gets, as does power hungry bimbo Nikki Haley does. President Trump is right to NOT attend this clown show debate because he is clearly the front runner and the candidate.
Am having thoughts of James O’Keefe’s new OMG volunteers doing a similar project as was just done with tracking down Act Blue donors – go to the doors of those supposed ‘small donors’, 200 of them as a minimum in each State, that earned these posers qualification to be on a debate stage and we might find the same deep pockets behind those donations as were behind the democrat ones to the FJB campaign.
I don’t like rap or hip hop. I guess that makes me very uncool but I would rather be uncool that pretend that rap is music.
I just love Kim Renolds’ cringey body language in that photo.
Is he going Zelensky on us? The guy is no presidential candidate. His ties to Big Pharma alone should eliminate him completely.
Reminds me of . . . .
I’d pay Fifty Cent not to see that again.
Suspicious cat should be wearing bib overalls a straw hat and smoking a corn cob pipe
Did Vivek hire former DeSinking staffers?
I read somewhere that he was a rapper in college. Maybe he put himself college this way or maybe he just likes attention, I can’t remember.
“There are moments in every eco-chambering campaign where the responsible voice in the room says, “no – just no””
Exactly where we are. And as Sundance also reminds us, pretending is the only way to believe this GOP dog n’ pony show is a legitimate path to a representative government.
It’s Boys from Brazil and Stepford Wives all rolled into one. These politicians and other agents of the State are programmed. Ramaswamy was long ago profiled, identified, recruited and groomed, for the role he has been cast into. Someone must have included his rap routine in the program they downloaded for the Iowa trip.
Governor: “Please stop. Please! Stop! I don’t know how to look engaged. I don’t know anything about this thing. I’m ‘Iowa Polite.’ I don’t even do that in front of my husband.”
Good thing he chose not to play the piano with his ramalamdindong A LA Zelensky🤢
I’m with the cat.
He really lost himself in the music.
Snap back to reality, ope, there goes gravity.
A Hindu globalist never had a chance with me. But…. this? THIS? “Hi, I wanna lead the free wurl, so watcha me daynce! Watch me dry hump!”
How do you get this stupid? How do you get this immature?
it just means he wants a different career
For anyone interested, Vivek is going to be on Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo shortly.
Going to watch myself just to see if he tries to walk back his stupidity from yesterday.
