      Yeah, like at a massive deficit, all while making sweeping policy changes at a moments notice with little research on how those changes effect stability. Also, cutting down on employed staff to save money while not bothering to investigate what those people actually do, to later realize it only when things start breaking. Only instead of some shitty social media platform he’s fucking with, it’ll be the United States economy!

      He’s got my vote!

    In case anyone is wondering, Ramaswamy is just another in a long line of the Republican history.

    During the primary season you’ll see rumblings of support for a relatively unknown and minority candidate for Republicans. Herman Cain was their last one. He’s dead now, they needed a new one. Ramaswamy is it.
