Erickson and Crenshaw Dump on Vivek

So here's Erick Erickson (seriously, who uses a ck for Erik -- twice!?) re-tweeting Dan Crenshaw taking a dump on Vivek Rama... Ramanaga... Naganna be President anyway, and it reminded me of the early Trump days. Maaan, you just never know.

I like having Vivek in the race because I think that his irritating presence brings something needed to the primary process. Not like he has a shot in Hell of winning -- let's be serious. But even though I don't agree with him on a lot of things, this guy is taking the fight where it needs to go on some issues. And I absolutely adore that he called on Ronna Rino McDammit to resign for giving the GOP debate to NBC -- at the GOP debate. Little bit like Newt, eh? Called out some news drone for her hoax Russia Collusion reporting. This is where the fight is!

So here come the usual suspects:

Well, anything the Eyepatch McCain hates just looks better to me.

If we fail to lay waste to the people and organizations who pushed the Russia Collusion hoax, which worked very well by the way, then we are just going to get more of it. Where is the RNC on Russia Collusion? Business-as-usual candidates do not interest me in the slightest. For one, they cannot win, because things have changed. Somebody here on the site just formulated this very well -- they are living in a world that no longer exists. (That was @LockeOn, over on @DonG's excellent thread.

So here's this candidate who cannot win, who says things I like some of the time and adds value by saying what others won't. I like Vivek not as an "actual" prospect, but because we're all better off for his participation, yes, even though some of his takes I seriously do not appreciate.

    Eyepatch McCain is such a disappointing midwit. He and Erik have severe TDS and that apparently causes VDS.

    Ramaswamy's stance with regards to our adversaries overseas seems to be "I'll negotiate with them and fix everything right up." That is naive. He's obstreperous, and it pains me to say it, but Crenshaw is right for once as far as TikTok goes.

    I see no reason to swap Vivek for Trump. I prefer DeSantis to either of them. Nikki and Tim should get a nice participation trophy. Christie deserves to be kicked all the way back to New Jersey.

    What is an Eyepatch McCain. I've never heard that name or phrase before now.

    Rep. Dan Crenshaw. RINO-adjacent.
