'It's gonna take an outsider': Vivek Ramaswamy takes center stage at GOP debate claimimg he's better than everyone else

Vivek Ramaswamy, who has no previous experience in elected office, stood center stage at the first GOP presidential debate

MILWAUKEE, WISCONSIN: The first GOP debate has finally kicked off on Fox News and the Republican leaders are fully geared up for next summer's Presidential Election. 

While there are many more than familiar faces on the podiums, one in particular is new and fresh.

Vivek Ramaswamy made it clear in his nationwide address introducing himself as the odd one out amongst the other GOP leaders. 

Beyond his identity, he also showed why he would be the better choice for the country's future and brought the 'American Dream' back into play.

Vivek Ramaswamy says he is not a politician

Speaking aloud and clearly, as the audience continued to scream their love and support for him, Ramaswamy was more than candid about his differences against his fellow GOP candidates. 

"I'll tell you; I'm not a politician, you are right about that," Ramaswamy started, "I'm an entrepreneur."

He also went on to share the first immigrant status of his family and how he managed to break all walls to make it in America.

Ramaswamy said, "My parents came to this country with no money 40 years ago. I have gone on to found multi-billion dollar companies." 

He also mentioned his wife in his introduction, "I did it while married to my wife Apoorva raising our two sons following our faith in God," he said pointing at her in the audience. 

Vivek Ramaswamy talks about 'American Dream' 

Ramaswamy referred to his remarkable success after struggling to make it in this country as the son of immigrants as the 'American Dream.' The GOP leader also shared his concern about dissipating the idea of the dream itself.

"I am genuinely worried that that American dream will not exist for our two sons and their generation unless we do something about it," Ramaswamy added. 

He then suggested that it would take an outsider's perspective to get America to that ideal future, "I do think Bret [the debate moderator] that's gonna take an outsider."

"Because for a long time, we have had professional politicians in the Republican party who have been running from something," the young politician said, "Now is our moment to start running to something. To our vision of what it means to be American today."

"If you have broken a car, you don't hand over the keys to the people who broke it again," Ramaswamy added, "You hand it over to the next generation to actually fix the problem."
