Vivek Ramaswamy could surprise everyone at first Republican debate

Vivek Ramaswamy is super smart and is talking common sense.

Haley pillories Ramaswamy for pledging to cut off aid to Israel in 2028, saying he’s "walking away from America’s special alliance with Israel" – a headline-grabbing accusation. But Vivek would only do so, he explained in an interview, if his plan to negotiate peace between Israel and other Middle East nations is successful. If he fails, then Vivek would continue to support Israel’s defense. Common sense.

The political novice, who was virtually unknown six months ago, traffics in controversial statements (Haley also jumps on him for saying he would defund the FBI, for instance) but seems to say what a lot of Americans are thinking.  As he recently told Fox Business’ Neil Cavuto: "I’d rather lose this race and speak truth at every step than to win by saying what I’m ‘supposed to.’"
