      Yeah, like at a massive deficit, all while making sweeping policy changes at a moments notice with little research on how those changes effect stability. Also, cutting down on employed staff to save money while not bothering to investigate what those people actually do, to later realize it only when things start breaking. Only instead of some shitty social media platform he’s fucking with, it’ll be the United States economy!

      He’s got my vote!

    We already had one (failed) business man attempt to run the country like a business, and it was awful. We don’t need a different business man to fuck up in similar but different ways doing the same thing …

    In case anyone is wondering, Ramaswamy is just another in a long line of the Republican history.

    During the primary season you’ll see rumblings of support for a relatively unknown and minority candidate for Republicans. Herman Cain was their last one. He’s dead now, they needed a new one. Ramaswamy is it.

    The only reason he’s talked about at all is so they set themselves up to later claim, “see we’re not racist! We almost elected this guy!”. The reality is this guy, nor Cain, ever stood a chance. Whether or not they realize that and play their role anyway would be the thing to know.

    Sounds not ideal. Trump is going to win the nomination anyways.
