re: Six Reasons Why Tulsi Gabbard Is Donald Trump's Best Choice As A Running Mate

3/4 of this board will cry that she is going to take your guns and likes killing babies. SDV understands it would be a good play. I think so, too. But, Secretary of State or Secretary of Defense would be great, too.

Guns and abortion are both very low on my list of political priorities.

What about her socialist economic beliefs? She’s a lifelong liberal democrat that has common sense on foreign policy. You want that person a heartbeat away from the Oval Office?

You’re deluded if you think that she’d draw votes from liberal women, etc. she’s the white female version of an Uncle Tom to the Democratic base

Yeah if she’s not VP, put her in one of those two positions. Personally I’d prefer Rand Paul to be the Secretary of State, and then make Tulsi the Secretary of Defense.

I agree this would be an interesting move.

Something lost to many dyed in the wool Republicans who want to add a VP that is as far right as possible is that this move won't bring any new voters. Anyone who appeals to the most conservative voters was already gonna go Trump (with few exceptions). I've listened to her on many extended format interviews and she seems like an articulate, intelligent woman with heterodox views. I'm not sure Trump is going to get DeSantis on the under-ticket, I'd personally like that matchup, but it isn't adding women voters. It isn't adding centrists. It isn't adding Florida voters, because Florida is already Red. ..
