    Did he say he would destroy the Dept of Education? First time i've heard an interview with this guy, won me over in the first 3 minutes.
  • I get chills and goosebumps, both, at the same time, just thinking about Vivek! He's so amazing!!
  • @brandonmaxie3871
    I can’t believe more people aren’t jumping on this Ramaswamy train. People need to hear this guy.
  • Best guy for the election. I am indian American who always voted democrat. I am impressed by Vivek’s hard work and clarity. I am changing my vote and going to register for GOP primary
  • @acp6350
    Love listening to Vivek speak! I believe he has, not just what it takes to be President , but has what America needs in a President.
  • @gps9715
    One good thing so far about Vivek. He can go on any show, against any opposition and not get caught in any of their "gotcha" questions. That's because he stands on truth and principle. You simply can't be gotten if you stand on those two things. Very admirable.
  • @binatobina1083
    The more you listen to a person, you get to know more about him and from there make your personal judgment. He is a leader.
  • He said "We've spent 30 minutes talking about Donald Trump, I would prefer to talk about our vision for the nation" and I totally agree! This interview should concern Vivek and his vision for the presidency. It is not about what Vivek thinks about Donald Trump.
  • I have seen 7 past Presidential runs, and not witnessed as straight forward and dynamic personality like Vivek for the ticket. He needs no tele-prompter, speaks from heart and deep convictions, and is just pure authentic and brilliant. I am an independent and switched my vote for GOP this year, when I heard how he quit his billions dollar CEO position to hold on to his own liberty and ideas against the board pressure. He is that 'pure' on his convictions. You don't see such candidates every five years. I at least haven't seen in 35. He is the real deal which America needs.

    I was born in Mexico and now I am an American citizen and I will vote for the first time and it will be for Vivek.
  • @TinTin2014
    Vivek is brilliant. His deep understanding of the constitution, law and history will set him apart from other candidates. America needs significant changes to its education system, immigration system, and governance. As Vivek argues correctly incremental reforms will not take us to where we need to be to survive as as a nation. We need a revolution. This is indeed a 1776 moment.
  • One thing I like about Vivek is that even if you disagree with him he is still civil and looking to find common ground. We need someone who can bridge this deep divide we have in this country. I believe Vivek is the only player in the field that can do that.
  • @ke9548
    Vivek is just brilliant. This is the type of the candidate we should all get behind. I am a moderate Democrat. And thinking about changing party affiliation to vote for him

    I'm 72 yr old retired LEO sickened and nauseated by the state of our country. VR gives me a glimmer of hope for the future for our kids and grandchildren.
