Vivek supports machine gun ownership

[Pb]

The entire talk is good; he discusses machine guns starting at around 19 minutes.  He definitely gets it.

Give him two weeks, he will change his answer.

It's interesting - as people become more impressed with him (and I am one of them) stuff is coming out about him. A Soros connection for one. How true it is I don't know. He would be one heck of a Soros plant though.

Maybe.  I've never heard a Republican presidential candidate say anything remotely resembling this though.

Do you know any GOP presidential candidates that have openly touted legalized machine guns?

Makes me think someone is making an effort to put out dirt on him. 

I think people would be surprised how many Republicans are taking money from people/groups we don't like.  So I want to know what the connection is.  I wouldn't be surprised if he is getting money from people who are trying to prop up anyone that might get traction besides Trump.

All of them???

Not George Soros though.

That guy has more flip flops than Mitt.

What has he flipped on?

I'm only half ass paying attention at this point, although Vivek seems to be on my twitter feed a lot.

[BobR]

I would rather see him come out for over the counter suppressor sales, much more practical.

But in the end it won't matter, he may end up as Sec of Transportation or other lower Cabinet position  if the Republicans win.

After what they did to Trump, I have a really hard time trusting pretty much anything anyone says about anybody.

Is that just normal skepticism or a reaction to actual flipping?  I haven’t noticed any actual flipping.  But I admit to not being especially focused on him.

Pretty much this.

One of the hosts on a St. Louis "talk radio" station (97.1) was discussing excerpts from Vivek's book that came out earlier this year.
I can't remember exactly what was said but it sure cleared my thoughts about voting for this schlep.

 Anomaly has been on the anti Vivek train

  Anomaly has a pretty good take on a lot of things, I still like Vivek - but Anomaly is making some good points

[gunsmith]

Trump made awesome scotus picks, awesome.
I am not sure vivek will do that - anomaly is making good points

[Ron]

Vivek is not a good guy.

[cordex]

Vivek is not a good guy.

I have no real opinion of the guy other than that he seems smart, but is there a candidate that is “a good guy”?

[Ben]

Vivek is not a good guy.

Whatchya got?

I'm not calling you out. As I mentioned above, he has been impressing me, but I'm seeing negative stuff come out now. I'd like to see more reliable info, both pro and con.

There's a difference between "he wears high heels" when a guy wears cowboy boots (and I see the Trump clan is also attacking DeSantis for that now) and being a Soros advisor.

[sumpnz]

Vivek is not a good guy.

Like Ben not really calling you out, but I need more than that to turn on the guy. 

[Pb]

I think Vivek would beat the Tar out of both Biden and Trump in a debate.

I don't know if he is a "good guy" or not.

[RocketMan]

I don't know if he is a "good guy" or not.

That's a pretty low bar.  A rutabaga would beat the tar out of Biden in a debate.

[Ron]

If he truly has come around to the right I welcome him. Just not as the standard bearer and president of the country.

Trump was a registered Democrat then too, wasn’t he?

I agree with the commenter on that link.  That reeks of GOP Establishment desperation. Vivek may very well not be the guy Repubs want, but "You were a Dem 20 years ago when you were 19 years old!!" is not a gotcha.

Contrast that with this tweet:

I like that you’re a renegade @RobertKennedyJr  just don’t let @JoeBiden rub off on you too much my man. I said we should reform federal “aid” programs that pay single mothers more when they’re unmarried over married, not whatever nonsense you’re suggesting below. The nuclear family is the greatest form of governance known to mankind.

Concisely calling out a dems lie, and restating his policy position.
