Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy said Sunday that he thinks former Vice President Mike Pence missed a “historic opportunity” when he refused to intervene in the ceremonial counting…
This is an intelligent guy. He isn’t firing from the hip. He’s saying what the party wants to hear to try and get more attention on him. I wonder if he’s trying to be Trump’s VP candidate.
I’m not saying I agree with any of his shit, just saying this is calculated on his part. I also don’t really agree with Pence with much of anything, but certifying the election results and being against the Jan 6th insurrection is something I appreciate.
Let’s face it, his best play to become President is to be Trump’s 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. He’s letting all of the other candidates fight over the 70% while he tries to get the other 30% vote. He pretty much can’t win with the traditional campaigning methods (although on average they are more likely to succeed) so he has to go risky. He’s 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 think that apart from Mike Pence and Chris Christie it’s clear that none of these Republican candidates have any delusions of securing the GOP nomination. They’re all auditioning to be Trump’s 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 Trump’s attention and win over the MAGA crowd.
I think it goes one step further than a VP audition. I think this rich guy saw Trump’s family members enrich themselves off of his presidency, and he’s thinking he could do the same as Trump’s VP.
