Trump open to Vivek Ramaswamy as vice president (Yes ! )
Axios ^ | 8.29.2023 | Sophia Cai

Posted on 08/29/2023 4:40:33 PM PDT by libh8er

Former President Trump showered Vivek Ramaswamy with praise when asked in an interview if he'd considered the 38-year-old biotech entrepreneur for vice president.

Why it matters: It's the most Trump has weighed in on Ramaswamy's presidential candidacy, revealing his openness to a significantly younger and arguably more radical anti-Washington unknown.

Driving the news: Trump called Ramaswamy "smart" and "young" and "full of talent" when asked by conservative talk show host Glenn Beck what he thinks of a "Vice President Ramaswamy."

"He's a very, very, very intelligent person. He's got good energy, and he could be some form of something," Trump said of Ramaswamy. "I tell you, I think he'd be very good."

The exchange came less than a week after the first GOP debate, which Trump sat out but promised to watch for potential vice presidential picks. The intrigue: Trump, in the same interview with Beck, seemed to acknowledge Ramaswamy's tendency to drive controversy, urging him to reign it in.

Another terrible personnel decision by Trump. The primary reaon he’s not my #1 choice in the primaries.

He said he was open to it. He didn’t say he would pick him. I hope he does not.

That's exactly what he is. And if Trump is stupid enough to let Ramaswampy hitch his wagon to Trump, he'll get stabbed in the back by him, guaranteed.

Because I am in favor. That was my personal editorializing.

A VP candidate ideally should come from a state that will help the nominee take the state. Vivek is good but he’s a bombthrower already tossing Israel under the bus. Kari Lake would be a good VP

Trump doesn’t have a good track record in the Vice President department.

Big pharma 1& 2. Putting a Soros Fellow on the ticket is a big middle finger to freedom and a sure sign they are globalists or bust.
As if lockdowns, DACA amnesty, bumpstock ban, big pharma blank checks, Syrian rapefugees were simply too meaningless to remember.
He already handed the country to fauci n birx once… with not a single shr d of regret.
All those people who died alone in hospitals and homes under trumps lockdowns require accountability.

he could be some form of something,” Trump said of Ramaswamy. “I tell you, I think he’d be very good.”

Yes but that was the old criteria. Everything changed after 2020. A VP candidate needs to be a warrior first and foremost who will stop at nothing to fight to keep the election from being stolen. No establishment candidate will do that but in Vivek I see the fire.

Vivek needs to be tested and a VP slot would do just that. Pence revealed himself in that slot and turned out to be a traitor. Now let's see whether Vivek is who he says he is. The possibilities are great because if he is real, what a combination he and Trump would make.

Frump hitches his wagon to anyone who flatters him ideally publicly but at least privately. That’s the only reason I can think of why he gives Maggie Haberman unlimited access to write hit piece after hit piece about him.
