Watching the latest debate from end to end once again it appears that the future of the GOP rests upon the shoulders of Vivek Ramasamy.
Not sure exactly why but he simply outshines the pack. He has fresh energy and is light on his feet. He’s smart, confident and slick.
He has snap. Crackle and Pop. He is young. A successful businessman and fearless.
He is like a young Trump apprentice, full of vim and vigor and ready to rumble.
Everyone else on the debate stage appeared dull, cranky or lifeless.
Halley looked like she was suffering from a terminal case of constipation and badly needs a wardrobe manager.
Christie looked like someone who bit into an apple, found a half-eaten worm, and decided to eat it anyway.
DeSantis just keeps getting more and more boring; a somnambulist on Percocet.
Scott looked like a misogynistic woman beater talking over Haley.
Pence looked like an undertaker at his own funeral.
Burgum, who?
Ramaswamy’s pitfalls are his stance on abortion and his trans-gender policy. He needs to find a middle ground message on abortions, leaving the decisions up to the states while suggesting a no-abortion-once-a-heartbeat-is-detected policy. Also, he should call for financial support for impoverished women who decide not to abort.
He should just lay off talking about trans-genders. He can agree parents should be told what their child identifies as in school.
He also has to somehow tame his Beavis & Butt-head hairdo.
He should tone down his rigid pointing with his forefinger when making hand gestures like an overenthusiastic proctologist ready to insert.
Trump, is going to lose, lose, lose in courts to the point where he will become too big a liability for the GOP deal with.
Hs best bet is to take up Ramaswamy’s offer to pardon him on Ramaswamy’s first day in office.
Trump should pass the baton to Ramaswami. Get his MAGA followers and instruct them to support the young candidate.
Ramaswamy should study Trumpian one-liners like “No one has ever seen” or “It’s a beautiful thing,” etc.
If he plays his cards right, with Trump’s unbridled support, Ramaswamy could grab the youth of America from both parties, and actually win the election for the Republicans.
He could model himself as Trump’s protégé
It could be a young vs. old thing. Those mired in the past vs. those with a vision for the future.
All the other candidates would lose in a head-on against Governor Newsom. Yup. That’s right. That’s who it’s going to be. Take a peek up the Dem party’s sleeve and you will see the ace waiting.
Next: What the Democrats need to do to keep the presidency.

Very entertaining piece. Newsom, huh? I don’t/ didn’t see that coming! Both sides are so extreme, the whole thing is disheartening. Wish there was a viable centrist who had some integrity. Enjoy your writings.
Snore.
I have been a MAGA fan since the term was coined. However, I agree with you that a Ramaswamy nomination could be what keeps the party intact going forward. We are a long way from there at this point but it will be interesting (if not infuriating) to watch.
Snoring boring. Look, Dementia Joe makes The Donald look good. And Donald makes Vivek look good. And Vivek make Ron and Nikki look good. Ergo ….
Bruce,
The Donawlt hasn’t participated in any debates in order to avoid looking like just another moron on the stage even though he’s the Bigliest moron so far in history.
They are all corrupt in every party and very very wealthy and yet we get asked to fund their Shampaigns for millions upon millions of dollars which they can apparently use to pay their legal fees when they break the laws while in office. Giving any of them money should be considered illegal dark money but greed has invaded politics since government was conceived of.
74 million republican votes cast. 9 mill watched debate. Probably not all Republicans. So far exercise in futility.
Christie said it right “Donald Duck”
While I have no use for these debates…….there are those who do for the purpose of finding out where the candidates stand on issues. Therefore as a strategy or out of ignorance or out of selfishness the guy that did not show up once again ran an event simultaneously to distract and pull an audience away from the debate.
Michael ,
surely you are not questioning the Great Orange Second Coming Oz! There must be a Devine explanation as to why he can and does everything against the laws, norms and ways of Democracy and Society in general.
But what would I know I’m just a “Sucker and a Looser” who served in our woke weak military that only war criminals are worthy to serve in according to daDonawlt!
