Same scheme as Trump with his surprise, public Twitter rants about China that sent markets plummeting (or soaring when he kisses up).

And has so far gotten away with it. I imagine it'll be bought out in the next repug debate by one of the other candidates.

I'm pretty sure they're all laying in wait for him from the last debate when he said they were all bought-and-paid-for.

Thanks to Mehdi!

If only that would end his career. Probably won't in these crazy times, that's why he's so comfortable admitting to this sort behavior.

He does not allow the bullshit to flow. He is as direct as they come.

The torrent of words and phrases and nonsense are designed to cloud the issue, get you lost in a smog of sloganeering snd verbiage so you lose your place and your thinking. Just smogs you up.

A fast-talking bullshit artist if EVER I saw one. My dad was a salesman, and he attracted polished, impeccably dressed slickly-boys like this guy, who were out looking for any and all get-rich-quick direct-sales “opportunities” that might be available. Some of ‘em just made me cringe. Like THIS guy does. Can’t get away from him fast enough! WHATEVER he’s selling (and BOY is he hard-selling) I ain’t buying.

And it wouldn’t surprise me if those big extra-white teeth were as fake as the rest of him is.

He knows how to interview a liar. I wonder if Rafanaswami or whatever his name is took debate in high school or colllege? I don't think he would score many points with his non-answer or rebuttals.

Loud mouthed, fast talking, rude bully. And, I don’t like his politics. I do like the way he was countered, chewed up and spit out for meatloaf.

He just runs his mouth with lies and outrageous anti-democratic opinions so fast it's tough to take it all in. Mehdi did a great job holding him to account.

He wants attention. That's the whole basis for his "candidacy."

for everything to justify their evil liars, it is sad to say that this guy still has a chance amongst republican voters, they even forget they hate non-white people when one of their own evil bastards is non-white, they have their exceptions.

Anyone who thinks they can steamroll Medhi Hasan with slick-swill BS has not done their homework.

I listened to the entire interview and Vivek never answererd the question. At one point he tried to tell Medhi that he was being childish, which was a BIG mistake, as that's when Medhi wiped the floor with Vivek. There were at least two times when Vivek froze up worse than my engine on a frigid night in International Falls years ago.
