2023-05-05 |
[NYPOST] While Donald Trump ...dictatorial for repealing some (but not all) of the diktats of his predecessor, misogynistic because he likes pretty girls, homophobic because he doesn't think gender bending should be mandatory, truly a man for all seasons...... and Ron DeSantis are busy tearing chunks out of each other, there is an unlikely sleeper candidate in the Republican race who is quietly winning hearts and awakening hope across the country with his sunny version of America First. Vivek Ramaswamy, 37, the woke-busting entrepreneur, son of Indian im In one CBS poll this week, he managed to tie with former VP Mike Pence in third place among likely Republican voters, ahead of establishment figures such as Nikki Haley ![]() , Chris Christie, Tim Scott and Asa Hutchinson. He’s pitching himself as a more energetic but less divisive ...politicians call things divisivewhen when the other side sez something they don't like. Their own statements are never divisive,they're principled... version of Trump, as "the outsider that doesn’t just talk about draining the swamp," he said in New Hampshire this week. "I’m going to get the job done . . . I see an opportunity to do in 2020 what RonÂald Reagan did in 1980, win a landslide election." He preaches that it is not enough merely to point out the hypocrisies of the left’s "secular religions" of "racial wokeism, gender ideology and the climate cult." These are just symptoms of a national identity crisis, he says, caused by turning away from the founding values of the country, from success by merit and adherence to the rule of law, values that wooed im "Faith, patriotism, hard work, family, these things have disappeared," he says, and he wants to "fill that void with a vision of American national identity that dilutes this woke poison."
