Vivek is running to be Trump's VP and the Republican presidential candidate in 2028. He provided no reason other than "I'm young" to vote for him instead of Trump.
She strikes me as the Republican who would fare best in November 2024. She could swing a lot of independent voters.
But I don't see any path for her to get nominated given the mindset of Republican caucus/primary voters today.
Of course he is, he's Trump's top cheerleader that is running in this race. It was always the plan.
Things like this is what make Vivek unlikable aside from the fact that he doesn't believe half the things he says

This is the first post debate poll commissioned by 538/IPSOS/WP, it polled 775 Likely voters and caucus goers and it polled people before and after the debate.
It only measured people who watched the debate.
DeSantis first with 29% and Vivek second with 26% of "Who won the debate". I'd venture to guess that the majority of Vivek's 26% are identify as MAGA Trump Republicans who won't vote for him anyway.
This was interesting, you can see inside the internals that DeSantis despite being by far the most attacked candidate with over $20M against him in paid attack ads, Trump constantly bashing him and the Corporate legacy media who loathes DeSantis is viewed most favorably by GOP voters. Btw, DeSantis is consistently at or near the top in favorability poll after poll.
Interesting Nugget, people who didn't have an opinion of Vivek going into this debate, his net favorability fell by - 9 which is more than anyone else. I'm guessing its because he comes across as annoying and slick to most people.
According to this poll and the people who watched the debate, more people are considering voting for DeSantis than anyone else, including Trump. Trump actually lost 5 points from people they polled right before the debate to the people after the debate. Haley had the biggest gain of +17 of who are considering voting for her. I knew she'd do well in the debates even though I don't align with some of her positions.

McGovern stepped in day 1 because he had literally no one to compete with for the spot.
Just out of curiosity,
Is this a troll account?

Does Vivek have kids? Because to me, 8 years old = 2nd grade. I thought I heard here that talking about anything related to sex with a 2nd grader was per se "grooming."
Yeah, apparently Jay thought it was a positive tweet from him lol.

Many signs pointing to Tre White bridging the gap of what he once was.
Certainly looks a lot better than last year, I find it highly implausible that he gets moved this year. What team would want to trade for a guy coming off an ACL and a team eager to moving him?
He will be with the team this year and if he performs well he will be back again the following year.

Seems the consensus here is that the defense folds in big games. Not just Edmunds. By that logic, you could say the same for Milano. I mean he did get Mossed on the game winning td by KC in our last playoff loss to them. Well, unless you wear those anti-Edmunds glasses too. They kinda skew the vision.
That would imply that the main problem was with the defensive game planning. Which I absolutely believe has been weak against top tier teams in the playoffs.
They need to flip the script somehow and not be so predictable.

So Benford and Rapp are tiny? Rapp is quite a bit larger than Hyde and Poyer, you know those 1st and 2nd team all pro guys that before last year were the best safety tandem in the league. Tre a previous 1st time all or sucks. Taron who is considered a top 2-3 NCB in the league has somehow forgot how to cover.Rapp is for our heave TE and running teams instead of Taron. Mika I’d size has never been a problem and we have length and powered up from the first 4. Beane admitted he was going for more speed at MLB.
When Von is back, we have the potential to have Groot inside at 6’7, and Floyd who also has length.
Rapp will be used quite a bit in passing down situations, specially 3rd down.

Governor Abbot and DeSantis are the big reasons why New York is now asking to “secure the border”.
People early on said it was just a gimmick, it’s proven to have been a genius move to shift the burden of illegals to blue states who lectured border states on the virtues of illegal immigration.

Trump has a marginal lead with men
Makes me want to start taking a look at cross tabs of these polls a bit more - how badly are they over sampling women.
But the men numbers are very good this far out.
Hard core Trump voters that hate DeSantis only do so because DeSantis is everything the Trump administration wasn’t but was supposed to be
Trump is essentially the incumbent and there is a whole eco system of grifters that rely on Trump for the clicks, viewership, their own jobs/relevancy and advertising dollars. That goes both ways, for the legacy corporate media as well, they hate the idea of a DeSantis administration because
A) He's a bigger threat to leftism than Trump
B) He's a lot more boring than Trump and they'll make more money with Trump in power.
It's difficult to break through when you have a never-ending stream of TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP.
He's the heavy favorite to win the nomination.
With that said, if you really want someone to root out extremist leftism in the country, DeSantis is much more capable of doing that than Trump.
Because what Trump has to offer is essentially this:

One thing that people cannot say about DeSantis;
He follows through with what he says. Another Soros backed person kicked to the curb.. That's two prosecutors and now a state attorney.

Looks like between Harty, Shakir and Sherfield there is a lot of quality depth at the #2 and #3 WR spots. Assuming they can stay healthy and with the addition of Kincaid, I think the offense could have its best year yet under Allen.

Vivek's previously held views on masks.
This was in July of 2020, when there was already plenty of available data that masks were not making any sort of a real impact. Here he is siding with Sanders for a national "Masks for all" plan.
Here is Vivek deriding conservatives for opposing wearing masks.
Here he is in 2022 still pushing masks and social distancing.
The point is this, it's ok to have your positions to naturally evolve (even though there was plenty of evidence at the time to make a different determination), the issue is that there were a some people on the right that were fighting the fight in real time and taking heat for having at that time unpopular positions in the public who eventually were proven right. When the fight mattered, Vivek was on the side of mainstream thought.
For me, that's an automatic disqualifier because it shows you who they are when the time counts.

That very well could be but I don't think you get that many mail in votes for Biden if Trump handled the cornavirus messaging better as they seemed to lack a consistent strategy to sell to the public throughout the process. Even though I thought his initial response to the outbreak and the Operation Warp Speed to create the vaccines deserved a lot of praise, there was a lot of mixed messaging during Covid that confused people and he came across to many as lacking empathy (a major reason suburban women showed up in large numbers for Biden compared to Hilary four years earlier).
Without doubt Coronavirus was the big disruptor and the decisions and messaging that followed ultimately led to his defeat. The problem with the messaging is he allowed Fauci to essentially run the Pandemic response for essentially the last year he was in office. At Trump's core he wanted to keep things open because he knew a bad economy would be bad for his electoral prospects which is why he was so eager to spend all that money in the CARES act to try to juice the economy.
Trump should have never elevated Fauci so much during COVID. By elevating him as much as he did the power and trust of many people including a lot of the soft righties deferred to Fauci. Fauci as we know flip flopped on masks, was wrong about kids not being in school, contributed to the mass hysteria of COVID and made it very difficult for Trump.
So what was Trump left with?
Lamenting over Fauci's poll numbers.

Trump came close to winning the presidential elections and the Trump team contested and investigated if there was enough fraud that caused them to lose the elections and their team was not able to come up with anything and lost all their law suits.
Was there some fraud? Sure, but there wasn't enough fraudulent votes that they could prove to overturn the results in any of the states. Even their lawyers that they had at that time conceded that point.
The biggest reason aside from a deep hatred for Trump from half of the voting population was the CARES act that was signed into law during COVID.
The CARES act was the $2 Trillion boondoggle for the COVID response. Inside that $2 Trillion over $400 Million was allocated to widespread mail in voting and ballot harvesting initiatives. This helped create a massive advantage for Democrats because they embraced the Mail in Voting, meanwhile Trump discouraged it which put him at a disadvantage.
Principled righties like Thomas Massie saw right through it, too bad they didn't listen to him.

DeSantis’ ‘anti-woke’ bills are costing Florida millions of dollars in business
In recent weeks, at least a dozen organizations have announced plans to either cancel or relocate their upcoming conferences scheduled to take place in Florida, making a statement by having their thousands of attendees and millions of dollars flow into other states deemed safer and more welcoming.
As of July 26, Ritter said that Visit Lauderdale has tallied 10 events and conventions that were canceled by organizations citing recently enacted laws, policies and travel advisories. That amounts to 15,000 lost hotel room nights and an estimated $20 million economic impact, she said.
https://www.cnn.com/2023/08/06/economy/florida-convention-business-cancellations/index.html
Considering that Florida is the state with the #1 economy with the second highest GDP and the highest net migration from all other states, wgaf what CNN, the rest of the leftist and eunuch class former righties have to say?
Of course they are pissed, they are pissed that they don't get to inject their leftist cultural extremism into corporations and schools.
There has been no righty politician that has delivered on his promise to rip out leftist cultural extremism from these entities than Ron DeSantis.

Vivek has changed so many of his views just in the past 12 months its hard to keep track.
I can't think of a more phony chameleon candidate in quite a while than Vivek.
There are innumerous examples.
Here is Vivek switching his position from just 7 weeks ago regarding Juneteenth.
Vivek wrote a book 10 months ago. Here he is agreeing with Mike Pence for not going along with Trump's scheme to attempt to change the outcome of the election. Btw, Pence was correct so his position in the book is just fine, but if you were to ask that question today, he has a completely different view of it now.
Here is Vivek sayin that J6 "was a dark day for Democracy". He says the opposite today
Here he is defending an article from National Review for Liz Cheney and her right to go after Trump over J6. Ask him this question today, what do you think he would say?
This is just on J6 - There are tons more on his previously held views on masking, vaccines, his shady Pharmaceutical company and it goes on and on and on

DeSantis For President in 2024?

He's as big of a fraud as they come.
There are over 30 of these examples that he changed his positions in just the year alone
He didn't poll the best and his net favorability dropped by more than anyone after the debate.
