    To be fair, in this context folks are simply speaking the "truth" about how America would look at him, I don't see anyone saying he shouldn't run because of his color but how the maga base will look and yes, judge him because most maga is pretty racist, I haven't seen anyone talk in disparaging, racist way, I think adults can have a conversation about it, he has acknowledged this several times. Heck, I even have questions, would he be able to put his hand on a bible and swear his oath "Under God", I have no clue, it would be uncharted territory. I dont think we will have to worry about it as more of his views come out, his lack of experience is alarming and his views on foreign policy is IMO bat **** crazy...........but to each his own, the man is successful and is a great speaker and I do like his outside the box thinking, but sometimes he goes way past the box and into a different universe. I am sure the gop will find something for the young man

    Gee, who brought up Mitt Romney religion? And as I recall, Democrats put forth the first black candidate and the first female candidate for President. Republicans?

    I am pretty sure he's referring to major party candidates

    No, you were wrong. I didn't comment on that though, and just gave you the facts.

    All Vivek does is pander to Trumpers and he's not as good as Trump at doing it. Seems like an intelligent guy, but as mentioned, he's a grifter. He would be a gift to the democrats if he miraculously wins the primary.

    https://finance.yahoo.com/news/vivek-ramaswamy-surprise-gop-debate-230639039.html#:~:text=Ramaswamy made at least $38,from 78% to 25%.


    In 2014, Vivek founded Roivant, a company that promised to upend drug discovery and become "the highest return on investment endeavor ever taken up in the pharmaceutical industry," he said in a 2015 interview.
    (His former boss and QVT founder, Dan Gold, now sits on Roivant’s board.)

    Roivant’s strategy was to cheaply buy the rights to potential drugs that big pharma companies like Pfizer, Merck, and GSK had shelved for various reasons and take them through clinical trials all the way to market.
    To get the cheap initial price, the company promised the major pharma companies a cut of any future profits.,,The strategy raised a few eyebrows.

    I don't know much about Dr. Oz. Never watched anything. Only thing I know is that he ran against Fetterman.
