Democratic Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, a high-profile Bernie Sanders supporter during the Democratic primaries, is “under serious consideration” for various Cabinet positions in President-elect Donald Trump's administration, according to a senior official on the transition team.
According to the official, the 35-year-old Hawaii congresswoman is being looked as a candidate for secretary of state, secretary of defense or United Nations ambassador. If selected, Gabbard will be the first woman as well as the youngest pick for Trump's Cabinet.
She met with him this morning in his New York City offices at Trump Tower. The Trump transition source said that their sit-down was a “terrific meeting” and that the Trump team sees her as very impressive.
Gabbard, a progressive Democrat, has bucked her party in Congress and during the contentious Democratic primaries.
In February she left her position as vice chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee to support Sanders.
In the House she has broken with Democrats on the Syrian civil war (she supports keeping President Bashar al-Assad in power) and Syrian refugees (she voted for a GOP bill last year to conduct stricter background checks on refugees).
This afternoon she released a long statement on her meeting with Trump, saying he asked to meet with her about "our current policies regarding Syria, our fight against terrorist groups like al-Qaeda and ISIS, as well as other foreign policy challenges we face.”

She looks like a better looking version of Nikki Haley.
I she a DINO?
When Webb campaigned for the Senate in Virginia, in the Rat primary somehow “magically” pamphlets circulated about his Rat opponent highlighting his Jewish ethnicity with drawings that would have not been out of place in 1930s Germany. Of course Webb denied all connection to them. I assume that magic pro-Webb tooth fairies produced them. In the general election campaign against Allen (Who made a whole series of gaffes!) again those anti-Semitic fairies reappeared and pointed out that Allen’s mother was of Jewish ancestry. (If I member correctly she was part of a non-religious Jewish family that escaped persecution.) Again Webb denied all knowledge or responsibility for it.
I would have considered the first one a “fluke”, but the second time no way! Webb was connected to it in some way. Also it was all so unnecessary, he was going to win the primary & Allen was self destructing aided and abetted by the Wash Compost! I don’t care how many Silver Stars he has won, there is something fundamentally wrong with him. Look at his behavior while a US Senator!

(Rep.) Tulsi Gabbard (D) - CIA Must Stop Illegal, Counterproductive War to Overthrow Assad
CNN via YouTube ^ | Oct 21, 2015
Published on Oct 21, 2015 Speaking with Wolf Blitzer on CNN, Tulsi explains why the US allying with Islamist extremists to overthrow Syrian President Assad is an illegal, counterproductive war that will cause even more human misery in the region and help ISIS and other Islamist extremists take over all of Syria. Instead of once again being distracted by trying to get rid of a secular dictator, Tulsi explains, the US must stay out of counter productive wars and focus on defeating the Islamist extremists who have declared war on America.

“Average at best, good looking - nope.”
You blind?

Not at all, I just believe some people’s standards are lowers than others.
This doesn’t look like the same woman in post #2. Video is more difficult to doctor than still shots?
It's an elaborate trap being set for the CommiecRATS.
They leave their Congressional seat to take a Trump position. As soon as they're replaced in Congress Trump fires them.
Tulsi Gabbard is the strongest member of the very short, very weak Democrat bench for 2020. If Trump gets her in his cabinet, he will improve his re-election prospects greatly.
That is what I fear, if Cruz bites on as any offer other than Supreme Court.
By all accounts, Gabbard is quite competent and took her military duties very seriously, and might be a good choice to clean up the VA.
Trump is simply looking for the best people.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Yeah, well I hope she doesn’t entice him to emulate WJC’s leisure activities when she meets with him in the oval office.
go for it....the more we move away from the same elitist groups the better...I’m all for outsiders and young people...
Born in 1981. I have shoes older than that.

LMAO - That was a good one!
Yup! Walk em in the front door, hand out coffee and doughnuts for 30 minutes, and move out the back door.
Send her to the UN and forget about it. NEVER at Defense or State.
Make her ambassador to Guam.
It may/may not have an ambassadorship. Oh well, if it doesn’t.
YOU ARE STUPID...NOOB!
