RapidcreekVivek Ramaswamy Says He Won’t Be on Maine Ballot if Donald Trump Is Banned
5 voters will be disappointed
Damn that’s 83%!
0110010001100010Ok, bye! Don’t let the door hit you in the ass on your way out.
FuglyDuckno no. please do let the door hit [vivek] on the way out. Preferably multiple times.
is this like a spanking thing?
Thats a paddlin
Your knowledge of the land shall be great.
Naw. not really. he’d enjoy that too much.
Unless I were to be paid enough… (and to be perfectly blunt, I don’t think he has enough money to pay “enough”)
Remember everyone, Vivek rhymes with fake
RozhkiNozhkiDo it Vivek, were rooting for you.
breakfastmtnYou gotta hand it to the guy for getting his entry for “least menacing threat of 2023” in just under the wire.
he’s hoping Trump will look at all his loyalty and overlook the fact that his skin is the wrong shade, and ask him to be his VP.
the thing is, Trump is a racist and will never over look that, the other thing is, Vivek is primarying against trump, and he’s going to not over look that too.
Trump is racist but is very easily swayed by flattery and loyalty
Is Vivek really praising him? I mean, that’s a hell of a way to primary against a guy, right?
Flying SquidYes, he’s really praising him. And Trump loves it.
I wonder if we should tell him, that Trump selects VP’s by who gives the best BJ.
(pence… was surprising.)
I’m guessing he knows and has his knee pads ready.
gonna need more than knee pads.
Tiger balm under the lip will help with the odor… then there’s the grease… and all the STDs…
What an awful, legit gut-wrenching moment to be able to read and have an imagination.
Yeah. Sorry for that.
Trump did put Ajit Pai in charge of the FCC.
Trump probably just signed some stuff that was stuck in front of him. and by signed, I mean, pulled out his stamp collection and stamped it.
he probably has absolutely no idea who Ajit Pai is, or what the FCC is or, you know. anything else like that.
proleOh no. Anyway.
So to sum up his argument, “because someone is suffering the consequences of breaking the law, I voluntarily won’t run for office.” Ok, you do you, bud.
jimmydoreisaleftyRamaswamy challenged Nikki Haley, Ron DeSantis and Chris Christie to follow his lead and takem themselves off the Maine ballot.
This is what an actual threat to democracy looks like. The system is hellbent on taking this man out, the Constitution be damned. I stand by my prior pledge to withdraw from any state’s ballot that ultimately removes Trump from its ballot. I call on DeSantis, Christie, and… — Vivek Ramaswamy (@VivekGRamaswamy) December 29, 2023
Ramaswamy made a similar dive for the spotlight after Colorado’s Supreme Court ruled Trump’s actions leading up to his supporters’ bloody rampage through the Capitol on January 6 had rendered him ineligible for the presidency under the 14th Amendment. Ramaswamy’s electoral self-immolation is currently on hold, since the vanquished president got back on the Rocky Mountain state’s ballot pending a final determination by the U.S. Supreme Court.
Meanwhile, on Wednesday, the Michigan Supreme Court rejected a bid to remove Trump from the swing state’s ballot.
He knows he doesn’t stand a chance in the primary so he’s setting up a way to lose that he can try to blame on the Democrats.
I guess that may be too, but it looks like his primary aim is to be a VP with trump, and he is trying to show how loyal to him he is.
Feck off. Fucking gnat.
Don’t threaten me with a good time
I don’t see any drawback to it. Why not make a bigger protest and withdraw from all 50 states? It’s not like he needs them, since he is running for VP.
Ok. 👍
hes the one that did that really cool rap about running politics… well maybe cool is the wrong word
Good. Less idiots
Oh good. A two for one. Any other Republican Candidates want to join Vivek?..No…? Come on…do it.
Well we need one of them to stay on the ballot, preferably Haley or Christie. I’m voting for Haley in the primary and I hope that millions of progressives, liberals, and moderates join me. It’s the only way we can stop Trump from potentially ruining the U.S. for good. Stopping him at the primary stage would be preferable to him potentially winning another general election.
Is that supposed to be a threat?

EdibleFriendHe hurt himself in confusion!
Can he slob on the cheeto in chief’s knob any harder?
To prove that Donald Trump is indeed a manly man, Vivek Ramaswamy will suck every cock in Maine.
MxM111He is aiming for VP under Trump
Okay that was always allowed.
edgemaster72Don’t stop there, own the libs by vowing not to be on the general election ballot either
Love when the trash takes itself out
Promise?
Oh man, double benefit! It's a win-win!
Can we red carpet this ideology please? Let’s welcome this clown to do the same everywhere he goes!
Hey, it’s a free country. He can do what he wants.
Good!
ZeroCoolVivek Ramaswamy’s campaign also stopped all TV ad spending with less than a month to go before Iowa and New Hampshire. So yeah, this is the only way he can get any attention right now before he drops out in February.
Vivek Ramaswamy's campaign stops all TV ad spending less than a month before Iowa and New Hampshire
Vivek Ramaswamy’s presidential campaign has stopped spending money on television ads and does not have any TV ad reservations booked, according to his campaign and data from an ad-tracking firm.
Genuine question: what do righty folks actually think of him? Like its painful to watch him act like he’s part of the gang…
I think people saw promise, he is clearly personally smart, but he has proven himself not up to the job at the debates. I think he’ll get the Buttigieg treatment if Trump wins, set him up with some resume fodder and hope he runs in 12 years or something.
He comes across as beyond desperate. All of them do because they have very few facts on their side on most issues, I find. It would be torture to me to have to argue such absurd cases, they are basically paid actors.
【J】【u】【s】【t】【Z】They don’t think isn’t that the problem?
K but all pithyness aside, how do they actually feel about him? It must be super weird to agree with someone who’s parroting your nonsense but also that person’s very existence and social worth is an object of your hatred
I have two cousins who are half-Thai (their mother was a Thai woman brought to America by my uncle) who are virulent anti-immigrant white supremacists. It’s especially weird because not only have they been the frequent victims of anti-asian discrimination, they also happen to look central american and have been the frequent victims of discrimination against that as well. I think the only thing that explains it is that they are absolutely dirt stupid.
WorldFrogI suspect that while most conservatives would prefer someone more ‘close to home’, there’s two things that may appeal:
Ultimately, few will opt for him over Trump, and their allegiance to him would likely be far more fickle, as they cannot identify with him as much.
