Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy said Sunday that he thinks former Vice President Mike Pence missed a āhistoric opportunityā when he refused to intervene in the ceremonial countingā¦
This is an intelligent guy. He isnāt firing from the hip. Heās saying what the party wants to hear to try and get more attention on him. I wonder if heās trying to be Trumpās VP candidate.
Iām not saying I agree with any of his shit, just saying this is calculated on his part. I also donāt really agree with Pence with much of anything, but certifying the election results and being against the Jan 6th insurrection is something I appreciate.
Letās face it, his best play to become President is to be Trumpās VP. It is very possible that Trump wins the election while in prison, and I doubt he will be let out to take his oath of office. Boom! Instant President Ramaswamy!
In many fields, the best players often come in second or third place consistently. This is because some reckless person risks way too much to come in first. The risky move has 90% chance to fail, but someone makes the 10% chance and wins big.
This is his play. Randomly guessing 70% of GOP voters consider Jan 6th a dangerous thing. Heās letting all of the other candidates fight over the 70% while he tries to get the other 30% vote. He pretty much canāt win with the traditional campaigning methods (although on average they are more likely to succeed) so he has to go risky. Heās stuck with that position if it succeeds.
Or he could be a true believer. I lean towards most of it being a calculated play, though.
I wonder if heās trying to be Trumpās VP candidate.
I think that apart from Mike Pence and Chris Christie itās clear that none of these Republican candidates have any delusions of securing the GOP nomination. Theyāre all auditioning to be Trumpās VP and I guarantee they admit it in private. So I agree with you here. Ramaswamy is saying what he needs to in order to get Trumpās attention and win over the MAGA crowd.
I think it goes one step further than a VP audition. I think this rich guy saw Trumpās family members enrich themselves off of his presidency, and heās thinking he could do the same as Trumpās VP.
