I have no problem with this meeting. DJT knows how to be a boss.
I’m hoping Trump can meet with Bernie himself one day soon. They agree on trade and some other issues and it would be a yuge step toward ending the silliness and bringing the nation more together.
Any theories about which position Donald might have in mind for her?
He found one of the few Dems with a set big enough to take on her own party. Now where can we use her best?
Bernie Super-Delegate that the DNC threatened and blackmailed into supporting Hillary.
Stepped down from DNC Vice-Chair so she could endorse Bernie at the convention. VERY anti-HRC, but eventually had to endorse her.
Interesting choice for a job.
Outreach to Native American population?
Maybe Veterans Affairs?
It’s traditional for a Republican President to have one or two Democrats in the Cabinet (and vice versa). In recent years, this has been achieved often through hold-overs from the departing President’s cabinet, but it isn’t easy to think of a member of Obama’s cabinet who would be willing or acceptable given the scope of regulatory and policy changes Obama has promised.
Gabbard isn’t good but she’s not as bad as most Democrats. Appointing an Asian-American Buddhist woman wins some points too, I guess, although in a game Trump will never win anyway.

“Oh, and Tulsi, bring the real birth certificate to the meeting, will ya?”
“Pro Gun, Veteran, Anti Globalist, Young, Attractive..”
****
if she’s all that, then is she a Bernie supporter? Something’s not right with her aside from well, good looking but you lost me at the rest...
DoD or State Department
NOT SoS or SecDef good Lord no
But deputy or undersecretary position
Not everybody he meets with is going to end up in his organization. Suspect some of them are just being listened to - even the enemy may have a good idea or two.
I am getting a bit unhinged with all this. I am quite sure we have excellent conservatives who would be serving our government much better than all these liberal losers. Sheesh.
It’s not a popular opinion here, but we fail to listen tto the lefties at our own peril. Some are patriots.
All Bannon with this move. Gather in all the anti-war, anti-NAFTA, GATT, WTO, TPP Democrats you can and see what sticks to the wall.
Odd that the only 2 elected Democrats nationally with a pair happen to be women, Tulsi Gabbard and Gina Raimondo, R.I. governor who turned the state around economically using Republican economic principles and treats identity politics like the plague.
I’ve lived here in Hawaii for nearly 50 years now and it is a caldron of liberal Democrats. Tulsi Gabbard is the only one I’ve ever seen that has the guts to buck the system. I think of her bucking the liberal establishment similar to what a young Sarah Palin did to the Republican Party in Alaska. I am a conservative so of course I did not vote for her but I am growing a quiet respect for her, a Democrat that is a logical thinker. A very rare animal now days.
