Ok, let’s talk about the Endorsements, Vivek R. received.
First of all, the Endorsement of Donald Trump. I’m a BIG supporter of Donald Trump – since day 1, but, I’m not a blind follower and neither do I support everything he does or says. Realistically, I would say that I’m in agreement with him in a high percentage in the 90’s. But he is human, he makes mistakes. He made some questionable appointments and endorsements and other staff-decisions in the past (just think of putting Amy Barrett on the Supreme Court… she hasn’t been much of an asset, especially lately when she sided with the radical Left. Or the endorsement of the old crook Graham, a.k.a. Graham-nesty). In his first term he added a lot of not so good people to his team/administration who then turned against him, but fortunately he was able to fire them. With people such as Barrett or Graham (in case he gets re-elected because of the endorsement) we are stuck, we can’t fire them (in the case of Graham, the people only could vote him out, once elected)! Same with Vivek R.! If he gets elected we are stuck for at least one term (and we know, that most of the time they get re-elected, no matter how bad they are in their term, DeWine being a great example for this phenomenon. Re-elected after the Covid disaster, although there were better candidates in the primaries).
So, now to the details of Trump’s endorsement for Vivek R.: the secret are the connections, Vivek R. has! Vivek R. is best buddy of Jared Kushner (for those who don’t know: Jared Kushner is Donald Trump’s son-in-law, who, btw., didn’t always act or speak in Donald Trump’s best interest) and it’s safe to assume that this was Vivek R.’s entry ticket into Trump’s inner circle. With Vivek R. being Kushner’s buddy, he most likely wasn’t vetted as thoroughly as he should have been and his more than questionable past didn’t come up. Add Vivek R.’s used car salesmen talents and him being a smooth talker (without substance and any morals, but he can talk…), able to talk anybody in and himself out of trouble, and he glued himself into this circle. There is another factor that might have helped him. Vance’s wife is Indian, Vivek R.’s family are Indians, they all are residing close by, you can bet that they all moved in the same social circles (rich Indian families), so this might also have been a factor that Vivek R. all of a sudden appeared naturally in Trump’s inner circle without the proper vetting, after all, all his buddies vouch for him.
Also: Vivek R. is backed by Peter Thiel, a very dangerous and powerful person in the background and IMO the GOP counterpart of Soros and Schwab. With Palantir he is pushing the total surveillance state (he claims that it’s for “safety reasons”, to prevent crime, etc.). The same Peter Thiel paved JD Vance’s way to the Senate and to the VP-position (he URGED Donald Trump to pick JD Vance, he might have done the same with Ramaswamy for Governor of Ohio). Since Ramaswamy loves surveillance (during the planned DEM-panic he tried to push a National Registry as a joint project between the government and a public company – HIS company) it is safe to assume that this is what he has in mind when he talks about making OHIO the new Silicon Valley! BlackRock is already buying locations for AI Data Centers in Ohio! In addition, they wanted to get rid of him at DOGE, so dumping him on Ohio with an endorsement as “Golden Parachute” was the way to go and satisfied a lot of people in DC.
This explains the endorsement of Trump. And I’m 100% certain that Trump would NOT have endorsed this charlatan, if he would have known all the facts!
If it comes to other endorsements (Davidson, Moreno, Jordan, etc.) there is one simple explanation: they want to please Donald Trump to get his future support or they did it for some kind of backroom-deal, I scratch your back, you scratch mine (you know, the usual dirty political game – played on both sides of the aisle). It’s also known that there was a lot of money floating around (see below) and promises to support the campaigns of those who endorse Ramaswamy. Or they are just gullible and fall for every scam on the planet – as people in the positions/offices they hold, they should smell such an obvious charlatan! They are not born yesterday and some of them even ran businesses (Moreno probably would have liked to have Vivek R. as a used car salesman – but then, such a salesman can ruin the reputation of a company). I was able find the facts, so should be others, especially when they have teams available who can do the digging!
Asked, why Davidson endorsed Vivek R., Warren Davidson’s District Director, Ben Thaeler, said that Davidson “likes Vivek R.’s vision for Ohio”. Davidson should have done his research instead of just listening to the pitch of a snake oil salesman. He should have asked some people who lost all the money, they invested in the Pump and Dump – scheme, what THEY think of Vivek R.’s “visions” and “sales pitches” and how well it turned out for them!
I urge everyone who has given an endorsement to inform themselves about Vivek R. and to withdraw their endorsement! They should NOT associate themselves with a charlatan!
Update! Following is an excerpt of a great article: https://www.theohioregister.com/the-ramaswamy-endorsement-a-lesson-on-why-principles-matter/
Excerpt:
While rumors have been they wanted him out of DOGE well before his verbal diarrhea, it provided the final nail in the coffin to boot him from the office and send him packing. But what do you do with a lying, grifting swindler who has been privy to so many closed door meetings at the highest levels within your party? How do you get rid of such a beast? In the corporate world, you give him a position somewhere with a golden parachute to ensure he is kept happy and quiet. In politics, you give him Ohio. First, Vivek attempted to squeeze himself into a last minute senate seat appointment by Mike DeWine, and when DeWine refused and appointed Husted instead, Vivek came up with his next big scheme, take the Governor seat itself.
Last month, the Ohio Republican State Central Committee, the directing arm of the party for the state, voted in an off agenda, closed door session to endorse Vivek Ramaswamy for Governor of Ohio. The move came after, as one source put it, ‘extreme pressure’ with nonstop calls promising funding, endorsements and more should they make this move an entire year before any voters could actually decide if they wanted to make their mark next to the name of a literal snake oil grifter.
If they had voted no, and decided to wait until a primary vote, would the national GOP have worked to primary them out? We will never know because the Ohio Republican party today lives by a motto of “compromise today, so we can lose tomorrow.’ Now that voters have seemingly supported selling Ohio state debt to foreign nations through the passing of Issue 2, the question is not whether a ‘Swamy Governorship would sell out the state, but who he would sell it out to.
Ramaswamy also received a very questionable endorsement, an endorsement from the Somali Chamber of Commerce USA. With all that’s going on with the Somalis, it should make you wonder WHY they endorsed him…
