He gets so close-
Violent crime has risen over precisely the period we have shuttered these psychiatric institutions. And you know what? The number one psychiatric institution today is jail. It’s prison. And they don’t do a very good job. And now you then get the calls to clear the jails or to have commuting of sentences or shortening of sentences. People leave those jails in a worse psychiatric condition, often, than when they even entered.
Yes! Yes!
We can do this again learning from past mistakes without those abuses. I don’t think I want to be pumping psychiatric institutions with pharmaceuticals into people.
Seems reasonable.
Faith-based approaches – there are better ways to do this.
Oh for fuck’s sake.
And, of course, the ironic thing is that Ramaswamy is a pharma bro.
Ramasmarmy saying whatever he thinks the Republican base wants to hear. So weird seeing him bet all in on a base that despises him.
He hasn’t figured out that he will never win because he isn’t white
He probably considers himself white since he isn’t a black man meanwhile the republicans will never see him as anything but non-white. It’s similar thought processes to the South American neo nazis.
He’s making the play for token vice president
He’s not even a Christian
It’s working so far for him. He’s the rising star in the party. I’m sure there is a portion of the republican electorate that would like to vote for a brown person so they can use it as “evidence” that they aren’t racist. Just like when they claimed racism was over when Obama got elected.

Aye. At this point I’m convinced he’s saying anything to get attention and raise money. I also wonder if it’s a play to siphon off extremist votes, but I’m not sure who’d benefit outside of moderates like Chris Christy
This is literally his brand. His books are actually filled with policy contradictions, because he’s figured out that a significant portion of Americans simply reflect whatever most recent political messaging they’ve heard. There is no attempt at broader synthesis or framework consistency.
The average voter hears something they like, neuron activation gives them dopamine, and that’s the end of the experience. This entirely explains why there are more than zero people who can vote for Obama and then vote for Trump. Because these are simple folk. The common clay of the new west. You know, morons…
This He’s just trying to get a buzzword the religious right can latch onto.
I bet he’s not even a Christian
He is Hindu, I thought.
