What do you mean no platform? You mean one that you don't agree with?
Joe Biden has been in politics for 112 years, is that supposed to be a positive reflection on experience ?
A tweet isn't a platform. I'm not saying I don't like the guy. I just don't get the fascination with under-qualified candidates. It's like when Kurt Cobain wore flannel and then everyone had to wear flannel. Donald Trump was a rank amateur, so now everyone has to be a rank amateur.Jack Bauer said:Sam Lowry said:Another pretty face with no experience and no platform...that's the ticket!He Hate Me said:

A tweet? He has a campaign website with all his main ideas (Vivek 2024), videos, interviews, met with American citizens directly. He's been on CNBC regularly and just spoke at CPAC today.
Trump had already been around for quite awhile, but you already knew that. One thing about Trump, he said exactly what he thought (sometimes to his disadvantage), not just what I wanted to hear. Didn't agree with him on some of the things he saidJack Bauer said:Rawhide said:This guy comes out of nowhere, very polished in saying all the right things in all the right ways.Jack Bauer said:Rawhide said:
He talks a good game, like some politicians. He seems too rehearsed for my to trust him. Besides he has ties to the WEF and Paul Soros
"Ties to Paul Soros' is just a lazy political talking point.
His "ties" are that when he was 25, he accepted a scholarship from Paul Soros to attend Law School. Would you turn down a scholarship worth $$$$?

You do know that Donald Trump took over $100M loan from GEORGE Soros?
Pardon my skepticism, but I've come across many politicians that talk a good talk. He has no history on voting on policy, well because, he's never held a position in elected office. He hasn't even been mayor of South Bend, IN
DeSantis has proven he can walk the walk, that's why I'll voting for The Ron.
Then did you vote for Hillary over Trump?
Sorry If I'm just going to go all-in on some guy that comes out of nowhere and just says all the perfect thing and the all the perfect ways. Had he been in the public eye for the last couple of decades, then maybe I would be less skeptical.
Not saying Ramaswamy is a snake oil salesman, but I'm not saying he's not either.
Being skeptical isn't discounting anyone. It's early, he could change my mind, but today... I feel more comfortable with Ron DeSantis after seeing how he's governed Florida the past few years.Jack Bauer said:He Hate Me said:Skepticism is good. Here he is two years ago at Hillsdale.

Not sure why someone would discount any candidate 20 months before the election.
I dont know if he's the one but I welcome anyone outside of Washington and any non traditional politician like Trump.
He will be challenged more if he makes the debate stage and I hope he does.
The videos and interviews tell me he's good at self-promotion. He pushes a lot of hot buttons without giving a lot of details. I'd rather see something in writing. What exactly is he going to do, what will it cost, etc. I like most of his ideas, and he has a good resume for a businessman and a non-politician. He'd make a great candidate for Congress. I just don't know that he's ready to be the most powerful man in the world.Jack Bauer said:Sam Lowry said:A tweet isn't a platform. I'm not saying I don't like the guy.

And suddenly he's POTUS.
Even though everyone I heard interviewed before and after he was elected couldn't tell you one thing about him. Or why they voted for him.
Experience and knowledge of a candidate was proven not to matter one bit when BO was elected. A precedent had been set.

Yes, he was in the political game more than DT was, but he was very junior. Very. So much so that no one could tell you anything about him, before or after he was elected.
Experience suddenly was no longer a prerequisite.

Trump was far worse.
I doubt he has a chance, but, I want to be able to hear what he has to say when the primaries come around.

Vivek actually knows what has transpired, what is going on and where the US needs to go.

The biggest issue with "business CEO" types (same with Generals) is that they are used to just calling the shots and setting the direction. Government does not work that way, it is a world of compromise built on a base of public service that is built to resist change. These things are not necessarily bad, you don't want someone being able to turn the ship around in 8 years, it is a watch what you wish for item in my opinion.
It is a very frustrating world for those coming from business, military or finance world. I see it all the time with elected officials, they have a hard time adjusting. For one thing, they have a hard time getting used to the size of the numbers they are being asked to approve. Costs are not out of line, just big. We are designing and building bridges for 100-year life span, ROW is more than a million dollars a mile, financing is based on 30 years, some toll roads are amortized over 75 years. A 300-million-dollar road project is not the exception. This is just transportation, think about other infrastructure, defense, and the rest. It is daunting for a person used to being able to effect change in their business quickly.
At Fed, it is worse. Had the opportunity to meet with the Dept that handled "modes of transportation". What is modes - Ports, Air Travel, Car, Transit, Pedestrians from the budget office. There were so many zeros, makes your head spin. Point is that someone looking to run Govt like a business will get very frustrated.
Even if he comes up with a plan that will work, the process is just beginning selling it to Congress to pass it.
I like what this guy says, but is he a realistic candidate? Does he really want to do it? Or, is he sending a message?
Exactly. Let him get some political experience first. Otherwise the only message he's sending is that Republicans aren't serious about governing.FLBear5630 said:I like what this guy says, but is he a realistic candidate? Does he really want to do it?

The bigger elephant in the room that people don't seem to want to discuss is the GOP image or policy problem. The perception is out there that the GOP isn't on the side of the people. That Conservatives are for the rich, judgmental, and are not doing anything to help those on the lower economic ladder, like the lady yelling (even though her issue is an enforcement issue not a lpolicy/aw issue).
GOP needs to come up with a Student Loan plan, Affordable Housing plan and Health plan that will help people, not just say take responsibility for your actions, clip coupons and don't get cable/smart phones. Telling people in a bad situation that you took out the loan, you got pregnant deal with it is not going to get those votes. The Dems will get those votes that used to be GOP. Saying we know some people from Baylor that paid their own way, so you have to as well or you are a lazy, parasite, drain on society Is not a winning strategy. GOP has to give these people a path or Biden/Newsome will win like in 2022 and 2024.
If Trump stays in the lead, I wish Trump the deal maker would come back, not this vicious vendetta guy. We need to get both sides going in the same direction or China will be the new #1.
