Vivek Ramaswamy lit into the Republican Party and national media in his opening statement for the 3rd Republican debate this week. In other words, he started out in 5th gear and never took his foot off the gas. If he didn’t have your attention before last night’s debate, I bet he does now. I particularly like most of his stances on national matters and very much appreciate his forthrightness. Is he probably still a little too young for the presidency? I think so. But he might be the disruption conservatives need to get their head in the freakin’ game.
I think all the folks on stage did fine in the debate last night. Chris Christie has done well to change my opinion of him. I used to not like him a whole lot. Nikki Haley clearly let Vivek rattle her, even saying under her breath, “You’re just scum,” when Vivek brought up TikTok matters. DeSantis was strong, as expected. He won’t be anyone’s vice president. Tim Scott is so genuine and I like him, except for his national abortion ban stance. He’s not going to win over any new voters with a strict government mandate. People are sick of that (see: Covid mask mandates).
The winner of the debate was clearly Ramaswamy and I think he’d make a great VP for Trump because let’s face it, this is just a tryout for vice president. Although, Trump might not pick anyone from these potential candidates, which means these debates are just a huge waste of time. The next one is December 6th in Alabama.
