Vivek Explains Why He Doesn't Attack Trump

Spoiler alert: I like a lot of things about Vivek.

Not everything…

I don’t like his Big Pharma ties, although you could argue he didn’t like it either and that’s why he left.

I don’t like his potential WEF ties.

I think he’s a bit naive and inexperienced on the national stage.

Heck, even Donald Trump himself — the Alpha Male of Alpha Males — found D.C. to be a tougher animal than he expected his first go-round.

Which is why we need to send him back now that he’s paid for that education.

We need to send him back to finish the job….

To clean house!

It will be glorious!

So starting over with Vivek, as much as I like a lot of things about him, I fear would be a total waste.

I do like him better than DeSantis though, that’s for sure.

And the voters seem to agree, which is why he’s consistently hitting second place (a distant second to Trump).

But a common question has come up recently to Vivek which is: “why aren’t you hitting Trump?”

I actually loved his response.

I don’t think it’s a winning strategy, but on some level you have to really respect it.

Shannon Bream asking him:

“There’s been a lot of criticism that you’re not taking direct shots at him, that you’re not actually running against him.

He’s potentially facing another round of federal charges in connection with January 6.

Why are you and the other candidates now so quick to defend him?

Are you worried about the punch-back you would take for him if you’re actually critical of that behavior now?”

Here was Vivek’s answer:

Piers Morgan asked him a similar question:

“You, to make this move, you have to be president, to become president, you’ve got to win the Republican nomination, you have to knock out Donald Trump, who is the King Kong of the Republican Party right now.

You have been flirting on that fence of being really careful not to annoy the beast.

You’ve kept well away from criticizing overtly the gorilla.

At what point are you going to take your gloves off and start swinging?”

And Vivek’s similar response:
