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

quote:

---

So who have you voted for for President that is better than a Trump / Gabbard ticket?

---

If Gabbard is on the ticket, then every single person I have ever voted for for President is better, because she is a literal far left liberal and is a Democrat.

I don't care that she is pretending to be an Independent. She is only doing that because she discovered an audience for when her political career seemed to be ending.

She was in Congress in 2020. That isn't exactly 20 years ago. We can look at her record.


Again:

She can run for Congress again, as a Republican. She can vote on issues and we can see where she stands. She should do that.

The Republican nominee is 80 fricking years old. I don't want someone with her record that close to the Presidency.


The Republican Party is well and truly over since we are even having this conversation.

Thank God. And if you think that's a bad thing than you are essentially on the Bill Kristol team of neocons.

In name maybe. We're due for a party replacement. Don't expect the policy portfolio to change though. Two big tents is all we'll ever have.

Conservatism on the national stage died with Rush.

---

Conservatism is an inherently losing battle across political history. Managing the pace of that failure defines party success.

We haven't had a true "conservetive" nominee since at least Reagan, and GHWB and the neocons were running things since at least 84 anyhow. Why are you acting like this is a new thing. At least America First can appeal to minorities, mix the most important aspects of what you want into the platform, and last into the future.

Your version of "Conservatism" has zero chance yesterday, today, or ever.

Tulsi isn't all that confrontational so this is a wash.

She ended Harris’ campaign.

It's gonna be an establishment Republican as vp. I hope it isn't...but it will be, imo.

I've said multiple times that I'd very much prefer Tulsi over an establishment Republican. We know where tulsi stands, she is opposed to trump on a lot of policies. We know what to expect.

Establishment Republicans will pretend to be on the same wavelength as trump on everything. They will fight against trump secretly, while still smiling and pretending to be maga. I'd rather have a tulsi as vp, than a snake in the grass.

This is only under the pretense that the only rnc approved option trump selects...is an establishment Republican.

Then we are doomed because the type of candidate you want cannot win a national election

We haven't put one forth in 44 years. How do you know?

Tulsi is more aligned with what I care about as much as anyone else. Having another white male conservative hawk is a recipe for a loss this November. We are already behind the 8-ball because of Roe being overturned. It’s not 2016 anymore when Trump had to align with someone with impeccable conservative credentials to secure the nomination and assure the religious right of the base. All those people are going to fall in line anyway after four years of Biden.

The point is to win the election and Trump will call the shots anyway.
