My bullshit meter with Ramaswamy is off the charts. He will say anything if he thinks it will give him traction with the Trump crowd.

This guy does not realize he's too brown for that shit

They will absolutely throw him in the gas chambers if he helps them get into power

Him, MTG, and Clarence Thomas should form a Leapords Eating Faces club.

Agreed. He says anything outrageous that will grab him headlines and based on how often I’m now seeing articles on him, it’s working. I don’t think it will earn him the nomination but I doubt that’s his true goal anyway.

In the past, I think I would laugh off a candidate like this, and assume what he says is not what he means. After Trump I no longer would take that risk.
