I know there are a few that don't like Vivek because he doesn't pass their 100% litmus test but damn! He REALLY channeled his inner Trump and RIPPED into everybody starting with the RNC chairperson.

Quiet a few accounts coming out that Ronna has already blatantly showed bias and stated she will ensure he never gets a penny from the RNC.

I have some reservations about him still but will admit he's sharp and quick on the microphone. He does have some Trump traits while debating and does it better actually because of how he words things.

I would love to see him be Trumps vp for two reasons. First and my main reason, considering what Trump has been through not only during but after he left office that man deserves a second term and not because of just that but because but because of his previous performance. I know a few in here will definitely disagree with me and call me a Trumpkin ECT but don't care.

Second reason is if Vivek is legit him having Trump is a huge headstart for him. Trump now knows 90% or more by first name basis who the snakes are, something Trump didn't have going into office. That could lead the path for a 2028 Vivek run.

Sadly he has already stated he won't be Trumps vp, now that could have been a power play out of fear he would lose support and might change his tune at the last min who knows.

Sounds good in theory, he'd never get away with it tho
I’m hard pressed to find any merit in firing half of all of all border patrol agents, the doctors and nurses at the VA treating our retired military, the TSA at our airports, air traffic controllers, food inspectors, FAA airline inspectors as well as other critical functions.

I agree the government is too big and needs to be dramatically cut. But this proposal appears to be an extremely naive and poorly thought out approach to taming the size and role of government. 🤷

He’s said they would and could make exceptions and bring people back where needed.

Mad Cherry picking skillz. Consistently. Bureaucrats. 🤣

Oh the horror! OMG, slash payroll by half. BFD. Contractors do that every day. Dead weight is always the first to go.
Gee Wally, Only running a trillion $ deficit in 2023...

So. DOT BLM FDA DOE DOI FBI CDC DOJ. Stood down. Indeterminate interval for introspection. That's a good start. Yes there are more. Like all the dead weight. Full stop.
Kinda like a full stop because FUBAR. Like the military does. Like OSHA requires for jobsites. and industry.

Zero tolerance for DEI Wokey's Tranny's. Military first. RIP the crew that just crashed. That crash didn't have to happen.

Everybody hasta justify their starting position. Just like oh, IDK, every football team? Earn it or pack yore shite.
CSAT, BEST, Physicals, LEO qualify, law hasta pass the Bar, etc.. All starters qualify. Or not. Carrot and stick.
Public Service is a privilege, not a right. It should be based on merit, not color.

His quote was…

“On Day 1, *instantly* fire 50% of federal bureaucrats. Here’s how: if your SSN ends in an odd number, you’re fired. That downsizes government by half. Absolutely *nothing* will break as a result. It doesn’t violate civil service rules because mass layoffs are exempt.”

🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

530 spends the last 7 years calling everyone in here "big government".... and real americans dont rely on the government and can handle their own lives blah blah blah...

Candidate comes along and says he'd slash the government by 50% overnight....

530: whoa whoa whoa, goverment performs way too many critical roles in our lives to do that!!!!

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

He is the typical Rino republican who loves being out of power so he can bitch and complain that everyone else is doing it wrong and it's their fault, but if his candidates ever get in power it's silence while they just run the status quo 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I think most people realize campaign promises are mostly BS. Joe Biden said he was going to cure cancer but he didn’t say when!

It really is comical..

Next will be.... "Just wait until he cuts Border Patrol and ICE by 50% and your grandma gets killed by a criminal illegal alien let in the country by my heros. That will be Vivek's fault!' 😂

I've listened to a lot of his interviews. He specifically says certain three letter agencies and mentions them. So you know faa/TSA/VA/food inspectors were never mentioned. He actually specifically mentions fbi,CIA,irs. I personally believe he wouldn't do it anyhow and is just trying to garnish support from all angles.

Since you bring up the VA though what needs to happen is a complete overhaul of that mess. To many vets being denied or short changed services they are due. It makes me sick when I see videos of some of these poor vets crying because they can't the help they need and we're promised.

Indeed it is a shame. You would think Military discipline, uniformity, mil-spec standards would prevail. Even when partnering with community health providers. Doctoring our armed forces personnel while serving our country is honorable and should be performed honorably with military precision in a highest mil-spec industry standard facility with qualified competent personnel.

A good example of teamwork are the Doctors of UCSD University hospital, in partnership with the VA in San Diego. Not only the Doc's, but an army of nurses, techs, down to patient runners/orderly's, admins. Volumes of breakthrough discoveries from decades of research. Thanks Dr's Ivan Harwood, O W Jones. Team UC San Diego University Hospital.

Heard tell the Indian Health Service is not great either...

If one’s only management tool is a hammer, every problem must be a nail.

Of course they would. They want her to allow the playing field to go more off kilter so people like you can make more profit by creating more and more consumption in the US via foreign made goods. Send that dollar over seas!! Super fiscal conservative.

As this endorsement demonstrates, MAGA's continental european socialist economic policies of protectionism and greater government manipulation/control over markets are certainly not going to be supported by AFPA or the Chamber of Commerce.

Says the guy who told us for a year that being a member of the EU was great for free trade, and the UK deciding it wanted out was a move away from free markets 🤣🤣🤣

Ok, could go a few different ways with this one. Like, supported with what, like a harness? Manipulation/control, what, like with a remote? Getting kinky there Ace. And just what does AFPA stand for anywy. Can they even legally operate within 1000 yards of a school? Or, what. They don't want the baaaad policies to come baaak? Orange Man Baaad. Baaad!

All seriousness aside. Trade. Just like elections, sports, it's not free and fair if one side has an unfair advantage, is it...

If our exports weren't taxed by other countries, I would agree with you. But, that's not the real world and we don't have the economic prowess to try to force that opinion on those countries
