Nobody wants war but Haley is absolutely right that if we don’t help Ukraine contain Russia in their backyard, they will be going after NATO countries like Poland next, and we will get drawn in that way.
DeSantis, Haley, Scott, plus Vivek, which party represents the melting pot now? The younger generation of rising politicians, a woman, an African American, decendants of immigrants and slaves. Batting 1000! Democrats? 0!
And NOTICE WHOMST the left WANT to be the nominee to face Biden? They want the one candidate Biden has beaten before and may be able to beat again. Any other candidate would have a cake walk victory against Biden.
Then why are they so desperately attempting to remove that candidate by COUP? Seems to me that the RINO sacrosanct are attempting the removal. Just observing. PS Biden will not be the Dem candidate on the Dem ticket Nov 2024. Biden is digressing physically and mentally daily. He might be deceased but will be removed in any event. Just saying
Should be a great opportunity to show some competent governance to contrast w/ Maui debacle, but hopeful the hurricane does not inflict much devastation.
It is crystal clear the MSM will do anything, say anything, and pivot in any direction to keep the GOP from having a viable candidate, other than Trump. THE MSM, and the left, WANT and NEED Trump to be the nominee, so Biden can win reelection. Watch it play out. Haley gets a bump, but not enough momentum to overtake Trump. DeSantis moves up the media will beat him back. They're scrambling to keep the GOP from having an excellent alternative to DJT. Regardless of who is nominated in the Republican party Biden MUST be defeated and we need to take back the Senate and keep the House. This 2024 election is very important.
My new nickname for the young revolutionary on the campaign trail - Vivek
Ramitdownus. He loves to hear the sound of his voice pontificating in weighty crisis level about important topics that he hasn’t had the time to study up on. I heard Joy Reid characterize him as your Freshman dorm roommate. He is wearing me out and I hope his past catches up to him.
He struck me as a smug insufferable frat boy who thinks he's the smartest guy in the room and yet the only one who doesn't realize he isn't. He doesn't know what he doesn't know. Every time he opened his mouth I wanted to throat punch him. I don't think he'll do well with seniors who will inevitably see him as a punk. NEXT!
She impressed me with her thoughtful nuanced positions on several issues that will appeal to more than solid Rs, which we need to win. And she's got plenty of backbone which I find appealing as well. We need some I's and D's to see her as a viable alternative. Even if every single R votes in the general for our candidate it won't be enough. And if she is good enough for VP - a heartbeat away from the presidency - she's good enough to be at the top of the ticket out of the gate.
"one of whom is a descendant of slaves and two of whom are from Indian immigrant families"
As opposed to a half white guy and an Indian/Jamaican who's family owned slaves. Oh, wait I'm a racist for pointing that out and if you don't vote Democrat your not really black.
The press will fawn over Ramaswamy because he is at least dark skinned (and supports Trump) Haley will be treating like a white southerner.
The left only cares about narrative and appearance, not substance. Same with Trump.
It is indeed great to see three strong candidates in the GOP and a far more diverse crop of candidates than the Left ever presents. These are real candidates of substance. Not façade candidates for show only. Nikki Haley and Tim Scott are substantive, thoughtful people. As for me and my part, I don't care one iota for their race or sex, but the GOP won't get any credit at all for our willingness to support and say good things about these candidates. We're the party of racists and White Supremacists after all. Speaking of that, where is the Nashville Shooter's manifesto?
Let's be clear that the Soros fellowship wasn't from George Soros and that lots of rich people get others to "clean up" their Wikipedia page, as they're not allowed to themselves. Anyone who trusts anything on Wikipedia needs to watch Glenn Greenwald's interview with its cofounder. Stop using Wikipedia as your source for information, people.
There is zero reason it couldn't be the other way around. In addition to her political chops, it would be terrific for the right to be the first to elect a woman to the White House.
Not everything is a conspiracy. Vivek says he accepted $90k from a Soros scholarship fund when he was 24. Who wouldn’t take free money? Imagining something then criticizing that very thing imagined is a strategy used by the left and the media to spread disinformation and gaslight people. Let’s be honest.
I agree with another post. It isn’t the scholarship that concerns me but the fact he keeps changing his position and then says no I didn’t. He doesn’t have a clue but thinks if he smiles and laughs a lot we’ll see him as personable and likable and then forget about everything else. I heard what he said at the gathering and it made me take notice and not in a good way.
Here is how his opposition is using a flip-flopping strategy to attack Ramaswamy:
Step one: Take his statements out of context.
Step two: Challenge him to defend the thing he never said.
Step three: Conclude that his fact-checking of your accusation is him "flip-flopping."
Step four: Compile a list of all the times this happened to prove he is a serial flip-flopper.
A recent interview he gave with CNN’s Dana Bash is a prime example. An interview he gave on Candice Owen’s show when he was challenged by a DeSantis representative is another. Interviewers are taking what he’s said or written out of context then criticizing him for something he didn’t say.
I’m not suggesting he’s never changed his position on anything or nuanced it later. But we should be keen to the technique that’s being used against him. Making up things might be the only way to attack him because he’s such a strong candidate.
Always best to go to the source and that’s why I thought it necessary to go to the gathering and hear the candidates themselves. I’m glad I did and glad I don’t have to listen to news commentators to get an edited opinion. 😊

No do Jonathan Karl. I really believe that he is no longer, even a little bit, conservative. Sad.
Few people are realizing the 'Soros-funded' scholarship was from George's brother, not George himself.
And the fact that it was supposed to be a 'needs-based' scholarship, and Vivek had a net worth of $1 million+ isn't getting much plsy either.
Vivek is dropping in my own personal poll.

Haley would make a good Vice-President or Secretary of State.
She impressed me with her thoughtful nuanced positions on several issues that will appeal to more than solid Rs, which we need to win. And she's got plenty of backbone which I find appealing as well. We need some I's and D's to see her as a viable alternative. Even if every single R votes in the general for our candidate it won't be enough.

The left only cares about narrative and appearance, not substance. Same with Trump.
"Ramaswamy’s change of positions over the last two or three months is more newsworthy than a twenty-year-old clip, except in MAGA land."
I have said it before, Trump and MAGA are using the left's playbook. There is no grace, the past is a weapon.
Their candidate is a virgin birth like Obama springing forth from the either, or they lie and gaslight the past to obfuscate.
"Someone noted that we should all be skeptical of anyone who comes out of nowhere to tell you exactly what you want to hear."
*cough* *cough* Obama *cough*

DeSantis-Haley. Get your bumper stickers ready. Great ticket.
There is zero reason it couldn't be the other way around. In addition to her political chops, it would be terrific for the right to be the first to elect a woman to the White House.
Think her time will come. She served well as Governor and will as Veep and later in the Oval.
That's my dream team. Them for 8 years, then Haley for another 8
Agreed. That would be a phenomenal ticket.
Haley impressed me at The Gathering and continues to do so. Things could get interesting

And it wasn't even from George Soros. The fellowship was from Paul Soros, his brother.
I'd sooner trust someone who took money from Paul Soros in college than someone who's taking money from defense contractors today.
You mean the companies who help keep our military top notch? They’re the enemy? The people who make C-130’s in Marietta for over 50 years? Wow!
