I love how the Conservative commentator hates Vivek. Clearly criticism of the proxy war with Russia pisses off the establishment that wants to keep getting paid by the military industrial complex.

[ReelUnapologetic]

He never said climate change was a hoax. He said the agenda was a hoax.

[ocox]

The Democrat strategist is scared sh!tless of Vivek.

I highly mistrust the opinions of any of the corporate political "strategists".
The corporate strategy is to prevent any chance of a populist president.
They do not care which party wins as long as the working class loses.

I would not hire that Michael campaign guy even if it was pro-bono. Completely opinion based no reflection on data.

[Randomwesternredneckguy]

Many out of touch opinions in this crowd...

Does everyone remember when Ramaswamy said he wanted to "bomm Mexico?" I don't, either.

Probably because he never said that or even remotely implied it.

[greenanddan]

So Vivek’s best chance at becoming elected would be if he DOESN’T get too much attention?!? 🤔

[panamareg]

BTW there are a lot of independent voters who will vote for the anti war candidate, even if it is Trump.

[joelvig]

Your analysis of climate change hoax was off. He said that the agenda of climate change is a hoax not the science. You took the bait.

[jmcmth]

Vivek Ramaswamy invites attack and takes it in his stride. He is The Cincinnati Kid👍❤️😆

[vqfive]

Vivek going to sell a lot of books. Everyone's going to go read his book now.

[mikeottersole]

Michael Hopkins is really one funny guy. What a joker!

[dawnricherson]

74 million views of Trump and Carlson. I was in good company!

[spsp-]

Love how the democratic strategist bashes DeSantis debate skills yet lost to him two times😂

[ocox]

Neocon Nikki was horrible - she’s such a shill for the MIC

[censoredamerican]

Who said they would bomb Mexico? I am shocked at Vivek Derangement Syndrome

[smileyk]

Any candidate that say they won't send no more money to Ukraine is getting my vote.. anybody who say put god and family first get my vote

[clementziaclemenzia]

It would be nice to see a debate with an audience of real Republican voters and not special interest surrogates.

"And you'll help elect me just like you did to Obama. Now give me that bear hug brother"
Vivek GPT to Christie.
