Well, you guys here believed he was a Fifth Column and not sincere.
BTW I am a resident. I plan to vote for him if he runs.
Probably a better governor than Mike DeWine, since he's not establishment anything.
Swamy for Ohio governor!!
I don't trust him. I do hope he turns out ok.

^ There you go.

Vivek is a very smart, well spoken guy but I don't see being governor of Ohio as the right fit for him. I still view him with skepticism. He does a lot of talking but can he actually get things done? I'm not sure about that. He has great ideas but will he put the work in to make them actually happen?
Valid about "can he get things done"

VR attracted a ton of attention but in the final analysis:
- Did not get close to nomination.
- Got kicked off of DOGE even though he was one of the early touters of the concept of full government audit.
- He stuck his foot firmly in mouth with the comment about lazy Americans BUT was entirely correct. Nobody does self reflection well and when it's "forced" you're basically a (Indian term) pariah.
BTW to those on the mistrust VR train: I trust him MORE for making a political hot-potato point about low American intellectuality and work ethic. WE'RE STUPID. WE DON"T LIKE TO THINK. WE'RE PROVINCIAL AND PAROCHIAL TO AN EXTREME. HE'S RIGHT. VR says it like he thinks it. But IMO that one spoken point torpedoed his national appeal for a few years.
