Ramaswamy shows once again he would fail the civics test he wants 18-25 year olds to pass to be

LMAO -- Ramaswamy says Mike Pence should've used the opportunity on January 6 to unilaterally implement universal single-day voting and voter ID. Beyond parody.

1. He strike me as...

A flaming asshole whole is in need of some humility.

[Iggo]

17. He strikes me as a lightning rod distraction device.

Almost makes me wonder where I’m not supposed to be looking. My blind guess is he’s a trump plant, and that he’s there just to make sure things stay crazy.

But that means he ain’t there for me. It’s theater for the rubes and the mainstream media gossip-mongers.

[2naSalit]

35. Good point...

And I agree, I was wondering that also. But first, he's a flaming asshole.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

33. You mean a face in need of a slap?

[2naSalit]

36. Yeah, yeah, that's what I meant!

My typos are interesting and perplexing if nothing else!

[yorkster]

2. Dangerous, arrogant fool.

Hopefully, he goes nowhere and I hope fast.

[Ocelot II]

3. I don't have enough facepalms to deal with that.

And, as usual, Tuck Choad missed his chance to pick this bit of low-hanging rotten fruit and pitch it right back at him.

[lees1975]

13. There were several of those opportunities

including his recitation of talking points based on conspiracy theories. It would have been very tempting to question him about his referencing "Russian collusion" as a lie.

But you're never going to get anything except softball journalism from Churck Toad.

[Iggo]

18. Chuck Todd ain't fired yet?

[2naSalit]

4. I think the best way to respond to his...

Outbursts of idiocy is to give him a look, start laughing loudly while looking right at him, then walk away while still laughing.

[Ferrets are Cool]

5. Hey, why stop there. Let's make it mandatory for ALL U.S. citizens. That would cull out most

of the mouth breathers.

Just kidding, I guess.

[dalton99a]

6. An entitled Ivy League ignoramus who doesn't know he's vastly ignorant

and obviously doesn't care

[vlyons]

7. I just went online and took several free practice citizenship tests, and

passed them with 100%. They are not very difficult, although a new immigrant might find them difficult without a little study. Ramaswamy's idea above shows more that he has a strong authoritarian inclination. One person, not even the Pres or the VP makes new laws, by declaration or otherwise. Ramaswamy is not too smart, and should keep his yap shut about things he knows little and nothing.

I encourage all you DUers to go online and take a free citizenship test.

19. I aced the first two and then figured I'd quit while I was still a citizen.

I liked the question about the rule of law and who has to follow it. One of the answers was "everyone except Congress". I was sorely tempted...

[brush]

8. God, does he know anything about civics, the Constitution and what a VP can do?

Obviously not. A VP has no power to implement policy...overstepping the president and Congress also.

What idiocy. He keeps this up and i'm sure his opponents are filing all his missteps away for for use in debates and negative ad use later.

And so should we Dems in the small chance that Ramyswamy wins the nomination.

[vlyons]

24. The only power a VP has is personal power, assuming POTUS delegates something for him/her to do.

The VP is pres of the senate and can vote if there is a tie vote in that body. Otherwise POTUS can delegate some initiative for a VP to head up and lobby congress to pass. A VP can attend foreign events as a representative of POTUS. Attend foreign state funerals, show up after disasters for public relations. Be a conduit for people to grip about something that POTUS should know/do. And of course campaign and try to generate good will. But mostly a VP is back-up if POTUS dies, while in office.

[brush]

27. Of course. Wish there was someway to get that info to Vivek...

as he seems to think the VP has policy making power.

The depth of his ignorance emerges the more he opens his mouth.

[vlyons]

34. Nooo, just let him keep showing his ignorance and tendancy to authoritatianism

nt

[lees1975]

32. Well, Ramaswamy and Sarah Palin...

and what does that say about his intelligence.

[malaise]

9. One more bullshitter

Never read intro to Politics

[Srkdqltr]

10. But, but , by then everyone had voted already.

Ofcourse the VP has absolutely no implementing power, or any other power.

[AnnaLee]

11. He already assumes

He already assumes that he will design both the questions and the answers.

[Walleye]

12. I'm sick of this guy already, fed up. Where did the hell did he come from anyway

I never heard of him before and I hope I never hear of him again. I’m tired of him already

[CurtEastPoint]

23. Cincinnati.

[tenderfoot]

25. This is how Trump happened in the 1980s. The media would not stfu about him.

Just like they're doing now.

[Walleye]

28. He strikes me as a glib, but not as intelligent as he thinks he is

[Johonny]

14. Has he ever voted in his life?

[madaboutharry]

15. He has a law degree from Yale.

I think he’s playing the MAGAs.

[Iggo]

20. Agreed.

[struggle4progress]

16. "My JD from Yale actually don't mean shizz"

[doc03]

21. I read today he said Pence missed a historical opertunity to unite the country

by not overturning the election on J6.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

22. The 26th Amendment guarantees the right to vote to 18 year olds

https://constitutioncenter.org/the-constitution/amendments/amendment-xxvi

Section 1
The right of citizens of the United States, who are eighteen years of age or older, to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of age.

Section 2
The Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.

[everyonematters]

26. Acually, I don't think he meant that Pence should have implemented it; he said that he should

promote it. It still doesn't make any sense.

[IzzaNuDay]

29. I want to see a Jen Psaki vs Vivek match

You know she would not hold back!

[LiberalFighter]

30. What classes did he take in high school and college?

[Emile]

31. Out of no where comes a guy with a funny name

with the wisdom of a turnip.

[niyad]

37. ruzzian plant says what???
