I'm making a bold prediction today she's got this based on the following evidence:
She's on the list
Donald Trump Shortlist: Tulsi Gabbard's VP Chances Soar
"Tulsi Gabbard's odds of becoming the 2024 Republican vice-presidential candidate surged with a leading bookmaker after Donald Trump said she was on his short list during a Fox News town hall on Tuesday".
She wants it
Tulsi Gabbard ready to ‘serve my country’ as Trump’s vice president if asked
“If that call came, I would say yes, and I'd be honored to serve my country in that way and to be in a position, first, to help win this election, to stop the Democratic elite from destroying our country, and then actually begin the real work of getting our country back on track,” Gabbard said.
“And that starts with having people of courage in our government who care more about the country than they do about the political elite in Washington."
Betting odds reflect her growing chances
She was 35/1 earlier this year now she is 7/1 2nd FAVORITE in the betting to be the GOP Vice Presidential nominee.
For someone who isnt even a Republican to be 2nd Favorite for the nomination is unprecedented.
Her rivals are unimpressive
Noem, Tim Scott, etc. all look lightweights to me so that leaves JD Vance and I'm not sure Trump will pick a freshman senator
So that leads me to conclude that Tulsi Gabbard has this!!
Interesting...
Mark this thread because I have immediately placed $25 on her at 7/1 and will be donating the winnings (175 bucks) to FR if she is chosen by Donald Trump.
I'm confident enough for a small wager anyway!
Who agrees with me that it'll be her? And who's excited by this possibility?
Emily Compagno
She is creating that record in real time. She didn't shoot her dog and she rejected being part of the good old boy beltway bandit club.
She spent more time in Iraq than most freepers and she is an independent female thinker. American women voters are being led by the nose by the rats over a single issue agenda. She could break that lockstep up.
No one will be perfect for the purists, she may be a really good choice for the pragmatists.
Need someone to carry on MAGA. She is not MAGA. I nearly gave up voting in 2016 after watching Republicans give Obama the sledghammer to destry our country. Trump is the only reason why I vote right now. I see no one out there to get me to go vote. Ramaswamy maybe. He says good things like Trump did but is for real like Trump is.
Biden Lite. What a vote!
I like him and it’s a very short list for me too.
I would take Gabbard over Tim Scott. I actually prefer JD Vance.
I think she will get State.
Along those lines Harris is likely ineligible too. In Musk's case though, he is clearly foreign born, no doubts no question about it. The other two have been shrouded in protective ambiguity by the powers that be.
I love her!! She’s great and I hope she gets the nod. The things Nys most important to me — freedom of speech and stopping Perpetual War — she’s solid.
According to Steve Bannon, who has skin in the game and is facing 4 months in prison for Contempt of Congress (for the Bannon haters about to reply) Boris Epshteyn, made mention to SB that the VP pick has been known in the Trump Camp for some time (6-12 months) and is NOT someone that has been on the radar... to date. YMMV
I believe that the candidate in question will have extreme MAGA DNA and be beyond reproach.
Yes I agree but how likely is he to go for Vance ?
It creates a headache / scramble in the Senate he’s only 2 years into his 6 year term
Concurring bump...I could see her running Veteran Affairs for Trump.
Vance is a real star though . I think he has a bright future
Yes. I am somewhat familiar with her life story and have met her in Hare Krishna Temples in Hawaii and also DC. She was, her parents, involved with a splinter group that broke away from the main ISKCON Krishna movement in the 1970s. Her father was a mayor, her whole family involved in the DemocRAT party in Hawaii. When I spoke with her, she had changed her positions on both 2nd Amendment and abortion. I am undecided on her being VP, but if President Trump chooses her, I’m good.
The democrats vieww her as traitor to their case and hate her, this gets us nothing good
AGREED
Tulsi is kind of white. She is 1/4 Samoan. But the reason she qualifies as a VP choice is that she believes our military is out of control. Many of the other picks for VP may try to subvert Trump. And run a background government behind him. Tulsi could do that too. But her government would be anti-swamp. So I think Trump and Tusi have many of the same views on important issues. And of course she is pretty.
I wonder if she still thinks Trump is Saudi Arabia’s bitch.
But hey, sign her up. She apparently brings some crucial demographic to the ticket that no one else can bring. And she doesn’t really believe all that abortion, gun control and global warming stuff anymore. Or at least she promises not to bring it up on the campaign trail.
