Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.
For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

One of the consistent reminders from CTH research files is always to ‘trust your instincts.’ If it doesn’t feel quite right, then just wait, don’t formulate an opinion, keep watching and the picture will likely fill-in.
When considering anything that encompasses Vivek ‘The Slick’ Ramaswamy, trusting your instincts is key. Everything, from the speech pattern, the cadence, the sense of self-importance; all the way to the grand prose of Indian cultural heritage that puts others down as a cultural power dynamic, socially elevating self. It is all performative. Shallow and performative.
Ohio is an odd state. They seem to always find a way to leave themselves with the worst possible options for Governor. He’s going to be a liability in the long term. Ramaswamy is not stable; he’s erratic and focused on emotional/personality issues.

I hope the people in Ohio do not agree with my assessment, because the other options are likely to be worse.
Ohio is a weird place when it comes to Governor races. The old GOP party controls the mechanics, the MAGA party is the base – that’s the source of the contradiction.
