Ramaswamy previously expressed an expectation for Trump to be present at the debate but later stated that he has “no problem” with Trump skipping the first few primary debates.

    What the fuck is happening here? Conservatives are never, ever, ever going to elect a brown dude named “Ramaswamy”. He knows they are racist right? It’s truly bizarre watching him pander to a hate group.

      Running for president is a classic way to get press, to maybe later actually get elected to a lower office like senator, or maybe to launch a news network that includes your name.

      One problem with the above is that sometimes the electorial college does stupid things and actually elects attention seekers and abject fucking maniacs to office instead.
