Eric Bolling seems to be feeling his bravado when he flat-out told Vivek Ramaswamy that he didn’t think Vivek would be President.

The Balance, Eric Bolling’s show over at Newsmax and its number 1 show on its own network, has picked up some of Tucker’s audience. Eric’s show is starting to get some attention and has beaten CNN in the ratings two days in a row. Not sure that is reason enough to get your chest all puffed up over there, Eric.

Vivek, doing media rounds, appeared on Eric Bolling’s The Balance show last week. And I’ll at least have to give it to Eric for being blunt anyway.

I absolutely adore your policy. I just love everything you say. I’m a libertarian, I come from the business world, and you are speaking exactly my language.

Now, I’ll be honest with you. I’m going to look you right in the eye: I don’t think you’re going to be president.

Are you, though, Eric, a Libertarian? You don’t have a Presidential candidate on your show, and then proceed to TELL him that YOU don’t think he will be President. I mean, how egotistical does one have to be to proclaim such a thing.

To be fair, Eric says he doesn’t see a path for Tim Scott or Nikki Haley either. So I guess Eric’s leaning towards Trump? Shocking, I tell you. :: eye roll ::

I didn’t particularly care for Eric when he was on Fox News. He seemed full of himself back then, and I see things haven’t changed much since going to Newsmax.

Besides looking healthier and fit, his ego is still out of proportion.

My eyes have been opened up to a lot these days. And now I put Eric Bolling in the same camp as the Bill O’Reillys of the old world. Am I saying they are too old? Absolutely not. No, I’d say more like closed-minded know-it-alls who still think their old dogmas and ideology is what is still good for America. Living in a bubble will do that to some folks.

The Eric Bollings and Bill O’Reillys of the old-world ways are out of touch, obviously. Yet, they still get on air and blabber about how things should be, how one should run their campaigns, etc.

Yes, we want to change.

The American people want change, and yes, they want to go back to the days when the American Dream meant something, but we have to do it with fresh new ideas.

And here we have a new contender in Vivek Ramaswamy with innovative ways to deliver and implement the right things for America in Vivek Ramaswamy. Yet, the old guard won’t let their egos allow it.

Since Vivek announced in February that he will be running for President, he has been speaking nonstop, doing interviews everywhere, on the road campaigning, shaking hands, and kissing babies.

But I am not seeing him enough in mainstream audiences for some reason. Then again, maybe that is a good thing. Instead, Vivek is getting out in the streets of the cities and suburbs of America, where real working Americans live.

It is the American voters that elect a President, not the media.

So, Eric, instead of telling Vivek Ramaswamy that he won’t be President, how about asking him why he should be President.
