Lol. Talking quickly is not the same thing as “force of intellect”. If you disagree, please cite or link to a few comments or papers from Ramaswamy that you think clearly highlight his “force of intellect” — so the ready of us can be appropriately dazzled.

Show me an interview where he in intellectually outmatched. Shouldn't be too hard if he is such a dummy, as people claim here.

Smh at you thinking "papers" are what demonstrate intellect. You might be the problem.

Some of his ideas are still wrong, but these interviewers are gonna have to work for their gotcha moments!

Lol shake your head as much as you like. “Papers” can — like any form of communication— demonstrate intellect. So can speech. I — generously — gave you multiple options to use prove your completely unsupported point. Shifting the onus onto me to show you an interview doesn’t prove your point either. You seem to think that Ramaswamy exhibits some sort of “force of intellect” — yet you seem completely unable to support your point.

If this is your best — it’s sadly wanting.

You can — generously — watch any of his interviews and see that he is levels above his interlocutors. It's not that hard. Don't be lazy.

Just say you couldn't find an interview where he was intellectually outmatched and keep it moving. I can find several where this happens to Obama and you all act like he's a genius around here.

I’ve watched, I’ve listened, and I’m not favorably impressed. Despite calling me “lazy”, you’re both unable to suggest a specific interview or two that you’re impressed with to bolster your point. Trying to sidetrack your inability to support your assertion by throwing in a generalization about Obama is not relevant to whether or not Ramaswamy is “a force of intellect”.
So: whatever. Have a lovely day.

Sure you have...

And for those who think this makes him somehow better than an experienced politician, it doesn't. The functions of government and the politics behind it require an experienced hand to navigate; government doesn't operate like a corporation, nor should it.

While this is all true, it starts to fall on deaf ears when you get "experienced" duds like Biden in. The reason a Reality TV star like Trump and a longtime DC outsider, non-entity like Sanders surged in 2016 is because people got fed up with what "experience" was serving up for them.

DP. I'm way more likely to vote for one of these "outsiders" than most of DCUM, but when people start telling me that the outsider candidates are Ivy League education millionaires and billionaires, it sets off my bullshit meter.

I actually agree with you on this, but I also view it as an almost structural impediment in and indictment of our political system. Tough to see a truly grassroots candidate rise to that level and get enough traction to be on a debate stage without being similarly "credentialed". Yang barely scraped it, but he also fits the same profile. There is just way too much money in politics.

+1 Exactly

Is he Hindu? If so it would be very disrespectful to mock him over one of his religious tenets. If he does away with EO there will be no one to prevent it though. Ironic.

I think Yang is very precisely the analog to Ramaswamy here. Young, rich, no experience in government, and with a signature proposal that's never going to happen but grabs attention.

What's Vivek's signature proposal? The voting thing? Or affirmative action?

I was thinking of the proposal to change the voting age.

Ok gotcha. Yeah, not likely, but it is also a proxy and touch point for civic mindedness, national identity, "America first", pioneering spirit, "merit" and other themes that animate a number of other things that come out of his mouth.

Recall Ann Coulters quip about Trump "They like your ideas, but not you". But yeah inexperience is a big stick people will hit him with, along with being an elite, and probably his otherness (vegetarian, Hindu, etc.)

About the voting age thing, have we ever thrown out an Amendment to the Constitution within 55 years? Only Prohibition comes to mind.

Mr. R became a billionaire via the pharmaceutical industry. Since when are these guys honest actors? Anyone remember the Sacklers?

I have white hot hatred for Mr R due to his comments on Gay and Trans youth.

Lots of articles about how he scammily made his millions in pharma. He's a finance guy, not a scientist. It has Holmsian echos.

Oliver Wendell Holmes is one of the greatest legal minds this country has ever seen. Vivek is brilliant, but not that brilliant. Calm it down a bit!

He is a Hindu vegetarian. The men mocking him are dumb.
