Yes, Noah, I was waiting for a “drill, baby, drill” rerun!
Agree with Jim that Pence’s cadence and timbre is basically what I grew up with as a kid thinking “ah, presidential candidate.” But I grew up in the ’80s and ’90s, and so did Mike Pence politically, and well, that’s the problem.
Vivek Ramaswamy responded to a question about how he would reduce energy prices without increasing domestic supply by saying Americans need to get back to work – in a country experiencing a labor crisis that has millions of open, unfilled jobs. Also, the Federal Reserve has gone “rogue” and needs a new chairman. Clear enough for you?
The Federal Reserve isn’t the one running a $2 trillion deficit in peacetime with a growing economy.
Someone better be praying at the Reagans’ tomb for our country
I was hoping the commercial for TIkTok would include the tagline: “We’ve got Ramaswamy!”
Did everyone else get the Tik-Tok commecial? Jeepers, China.
When Pence gave that little prepared statement on a time for choosing I heard, “Are we going to hearken back to a time and campaign theme that predates the lives of most Americans living and breathing? Or are we going to do a repeat of the campaign that made me Vice President?” And he was saying this meaning to endorse the former.
I don’t think he’s having a particularly good night, but Mike Pence’s slower, steady, more deliberate delivery is a nice auditory and tonal change of pace from the quicker, sharper, and often angrier tone from the other candidates. Of course, this means Pence is often up against the ringing bell of his time expiring.
A time for choosing. Makes you nostalgic. What would WFB say?
