Vivek Ramaswamy and North Dakota Republican Gov. Doug Burgum rejected claims from GOP members like Newt Gingrich who said Donald Trump is essentially already the nominee.
with the contention Trump's nomination is a lock. He argued Wednesday's debate was somewhat proof the field needs to be pared down, but that he has taken a different tact toward Trump than his opponets.
While former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie spent much of the night antagonizing Trump, dubbing him"Donald Duck" for ducking the debate, Ramaswamy said he personally believes the mogul has been the best president in the 21st century. "Everybody else is making their case versus Trump by bashing him and Monday morning quarterbacking some decision he made. My view is different," he said.
"I acknowledge he was the greatest president of the 21st century so far, but I have something that he doesn't, Laura. And it's really simple. I'm young. I have fresh legs. I'm able to reach the next generation in a way that Trump cannot. That's undeniable – And that's how we're going to take the America First movement to the next level.
"My whole point is I'm an America first conservative, not a Trump first conservative, and not of a big first conservative. And so I'm the one person in this race. I'm not tearing anybody else down," he added.
