As important as it is that Democrats will have large majorities in both the House and the Senate after the first of the year, just as important is the fact that Democrats will hold about three-quarters of the Governorships (many with a ‘trifecta of both their legislative chambers) and that includes the bellwether state of Ohio. Vivek Ramaswamy, despite support from Trump and J.D. Vance got his butt whipped by Dr. Amy Acton. Has anyone noticed we aren’t seeing or hearing anything from Ramaswamy?
Actually, most including Republicans probably hope we never hear from him again. It seems he has come to that same conclusion as The Daily Beast reports. He called Acton to concede – leaving a voicemail. (Acton justifiably let it go at that. I would never want to speak to him either after what he did) The day after the election this guy who was so prolific online pulled all of it down. As the linked article says he’s pretty much gone into hiding. Look, Ramaswamy would likely have lost last week no matter what, but his flailing campaign ran that despicable ad using Acton’s estranged (since Acton was 12) mother. As awful as that was he doubled and tripled down on it. And fellow Ohioan J.D. Vance went to bat for him over that ad.
Even a lot of Republicans including prominent ones took Ramaswamy (and Vance) to task including John “Magnificent Ass” (as Trump made sure to proclaim) Husted who still lost his Senate seat to former Ohio Senator Sherrod Brown. That race was quite a bit closer before that vile ad and it was so toxic it negatively impacted Husted and other Republicans. Vivek Ramaswamy is Ohio born and bred (Cincinnati) but at this point I’ll bet not even his parents would let him slink home to nurse his political (self-inflicted) wounds. As the reality of how loathed he had made himself set in I wouldn’t be surprised if he didn’t ask Kash Patel to put him in Witness Protection! Apparently even Patel told him he was on his own so he’s trying to disappear/cancel himself all by himself:
The 41-year-old has long been a fixture of MAGA’s online ecosystem, particularly on X, where his 3.5 million followers are treated to a steady stream of screeds and video monologues devoted to his culture-war grievances.
But now, Ramaswamy has gone into hiding online after Ohio voters rejected him in the governor’s race, electing his Democratic opponent, Amy Acton, by nearly 8 points.
Ramaswamy has added a telling new disclaimer to his profile bio on X and Instagram: “Account is not actively managed.”
“How big was the Dem win? They’ve driven Vivek offline,” Puck co-founder and chief national correspondent Peter Hamby quipped on X.
I know. You’re saying good riddance, but as you go linger just long enough to let the doorknob slam you in your ass. Me too. Anyway the prick wasted no time in scrubbing the internet/social media of his presence. Better still, he seems to have not just fled the spotlight, he’s fled the country!
After Acton sent Ramaswamy’s concession call on Election Day straight to voicemail, the loser appears to have fled the state and country aboard one of the private jets he used prolifically on the campaign trail.
Accounts that had been tracking Ramaswamy’s private jets say they spotted one heading toward the Caribbean the day after the election.
Given that the Daily Beast article concludes by reporting it appear bettors have already written him off as a 2028 candidate he’ll buy himself a small island down there and just stay GONE. He was a P.O.S. before he teamed up with Elon/DOGE, a P.O.S. when he decided to run for Gov. of his home state and a P.O.S. during the campaign. Even in what’s become a solidly red/Trump state he got his butt kicked. Let’s hope the proverbial ‘memo’ included not only ‘just go away’ but ‘stay the hell away’ and he follows the latter recommendation as diligently as he did the first part.
Friends, I know everyone begs you for money. I promise, among all those asking for spare change, we are the smallest and the hardest working. We’re a group of old, disabled people, except for one writer in his mid-50s. The rest of us are in our sixties and seventies, and this is a labor of love. All we’re asking for is the chance to keep telling the truth about Trump and help ensure democracy survives. If you can help, please do. Thank you. Ursula
Apparently, Rama-Lama-DingDong has fallen under the Trumpian spell, thinking he could become a despicable dipshit like Trump by being one. Devoid of critical thinking skills, he failed to read a couple of the numerous books written about the Orange oxy-MORON, which would have shown him what a horse’s ass Trump is.
Over and over we see MAGA asshats learning the hard way only Trump gets away with being Trump. Hell, although not often enough even TRUMP hasn’t gotten away with being Trump!
