This guy is saying all the right things. The democrats take out Trump and this guy demolishes the democrats. Maybe the left will be taken out by yet another backfire. He does well in the debates and he might catch up with Trump! He should be the one that scares the chit out of the left.

Just had a really good interview on Brett’s show.

I just hope he can stand up to the bullchit to come from the deep state and MSM. I’m sure they believe they can eat him alive.

If he keeps it up he'll be indicted soon.

All Republicans are guilty until proven guilty, according to Democrats.

I like him a lot. There are many of his positions that he cannot accomplish as president though in the sense the federal government doesn't directly control it. Such as his positions on schools. As far as I know he hasn't answered how he would get school districts to follow along with his plan as it's something that local school districts and/or states control. But, pretty sure every single one of the republican candidates have promised to do things as president that isn't actually within the presidents or even federal governments control. So singling him out over that isn't my intent.

The other negative is his lack of track record. I remember people like McCain talked a big conservative game while running, but then ended up not following through many times. I do believe Vivek to be honest, but I still like seeing a track record of following through.

Everything that I have seen regarding him so far, I have liked. If he makes it to the primary ballot here in VA, he has my strong consideration at this point. Still a lot of time left and there are some others that have my attention as well.

One thing is for sure - whoever gets the final nomination for the Republican party will get my vote in the national election. The other side is totally incompetent and that's putting it nicely.

He lost me at we should be good little sheep and wear our masks.

You must have missed all the bad behaviors from local school boards when the threat of shutting of federal funds is used.

I like him a lot, he is young and energetic and able to clearly articulate his vision for America. However, as you pointed out, he has no track record. That is a little concerning on the one hand but on the other hand Trump had no track record either and look what he was able to accomplish. His primary failure, IMO, was not making everything he did extremely difficult to undo.

They ALL pander. That could be him pandering to the middle or those slightly left of center. There are no perfect candidates. As has been mentioned, if he ends up being the nominee I'll vote for him. If the GOP nominates a pig I'll vote for it over any dem. And even though our votes are all but meaningless I'll still accommodate the illusion.

You're right. Trump did a lot of stupid chit during Covid also.

Nevermind. TB4E said it better than I did.

Well yeah, I didn't mean that.

Sounds like he's a 9/11 truther too. Weirdo.

His political naivete didn't help at all. He made the same mistake so many of us have, he trusted "the experts".

Guilty as charged, especially when the choice is so easily arrived at. And why do you care? You aren't affiliated with a "team", right? When was the last time you voted republican in any general election? I can tell you the last time I voted for a democrat, it was well before they openly became the party of Mao and Stalin.

The pig would still have puppeteers. We’re seeing that w/ the current deadweight in office.

He's an independent as much as I'm a world famous polka star accordion player.

If it hasn't always been so it will be going forward. There's hardly a politician out there who doesn't have a rich hand up their butt controlling their movements. I thought Trump was that guy, he may still be. Rand Paul comes as close to that as anyone I can think of. But I'd bet that at the end of the day they are all beholden to someone who isn't their average constituent.
