Well what would that look like, coming from journalists?
Don't think it could come from them. That wasn't my alternative option.

Trouble is that he too is an extremist. For the time being. As you say, the committed maga racists would probably not vote for him whereas the more insidious maga racists would -just to pull the whole "see, we're not racists!" schtick and vote for him. The committed ones won't countenance anyone but trump -even after he's convicted. Whereas the others would, due to their awareness that their Christian nationalist project is greater than one person.
Vivek may come to realise that he's in a political cul de sac and, hopefully, at a time when it's too late for him. Because when he does inevitably flip, his maga extremism will be used by some opponents as a sign that he's a trojan horse headbanger and by others as a sign of his insufferable insincerity and lack of commitment.
I did caveat that with "for now". Ramaswami is slick grifter who has latched onto the maga twats as a potential avenue to power. Or as a means to extend awareness of his personal "brand". I highly doubt that he gives much of a shit either way as long as he gets tons of airtime to fast talk maga streams of consciousness, far right triangulated talking points and general republican bullshit. All wrapped up in a shiny suit and delivered through that shit-eating grin of his.He isn't an extremist; none of them (including Trump) are. They just say extremist things because that is what, in their limited understanding of "the base", they think people want to hear.
He's not going anywhere with the republicans anyway cos he's brown. That's my gut feeling anyway - not while maga is in the ascendency anyway - he'd need to wait for a moderate turn.

Coincidentally, Chris Christie at the recent republican primary debate said to Ramaswami that he sounded like ChatGPT.Man this guy is so fake. Everything is just hyper polished with a massive helping of question avoidance/spin. There's nothing remotely contemplative in any of his interviews it's all just "me me me". It's like someone asked ChatGPT to design a politician. Anyone who votes for him is an idiot.
Does he want the job though? Being Trump's VP pick (let alone his actual VP) is definitely a poisoned chalice, ask one Michael Pence.
Secretary of Commerce or Technology or such like.Ramaswamy might have a good shot at a Cabinet job but I can't see Trump making him his VP nominee, he was only polling at around 4% before he dropped out and whatever constituency of assorted shitheads he appeals to would probably pick Trump over Biden in any case
