DES MOINES, Iowa, Jan 10 (Reuters) - Donald Trump said on Wednesday that he knows who he wants for his running mate in the 2024 race for president and that his commitment to the NATO alliance will depend on how Europeans treat the United States.

The frontrunner for the Republican nomination, Trump was asked by anchors at a live Fox News town hall who was under consideration for vice president on his ticket.

"I can't tell you that really. I mean I know who it's going to be," Trump told the gathering of Republican voters in Des Moines, Iowa, five days before that Midwestern state's first-in-the-country nominating context.

I apologize, I don’t know how I missed it among all the anti-Gabbard posts. I will watch it later.

We need someone who is as strong in national defense as possible, but again I go back to the fact that she was/is one of Kaiser Klaus’s “chosen ones…”

Part of me wants this to be true so all the “bedrock conservatives” on this site can justify this and tell me it’s big brain 4D chess.

The mental and political gymnastics will be dizzying!

Though, it’s better than giving the whole thing away with someone like MTG or Lake.

It’s probably going to be someone we are not even mentioning or considering at this point. Who would have thought of Pence as a pick back in 2016? But it’s fun to guess nevertheless.

Ben Carson, has my support. A calm neuro surgeon whose soft answers turn away wrath. He would be the first REAL U.S. President, not a foreign born half breed.

“There is also plenty of posts on FR about how voters just need to hold their nose and vote for the Republican because they are better than any Democrat. And we can see where that has landed us...a uniparty.”

Using Reagan as an example of someone who once was a Democrat and voted for Presidents FDR and then Truman in 1948, a time when Texas was Democrat is absurd when explaining why someone could be a post-1972 Democrat of the modern party and especially of the post-Reagan democrat party of Obama, the Clintons, abortion, gay power, feminism, hate America perversion, etc.

Leave Reagan out of the party of Obama, perversion and at war with America and the West.
Being a Democrat of the Great Depression and WWII America does not translate to being a Democrat after the Reagan years and in 2020 America.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tulsi_Gabbard

Gabbard’s mother was a practicing Hindu, and gave Hindu names to all her children. Gabbard’s given name, “Tulasi” in Sanskrit, is the word for holy basil, which Hindus regard as an earthly manifestation of the Goddess Tulasi.

Growing up, she was influenced by Vaishnava Hindu tradition, and was raised in part with the teachings of the Science of Identity Foundation (SIF), a breakaway sect of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON).

She has said Mr. Butler, the leader of SIF, was like a Vaishnava Hindu pastor and a guide to her. According to some sources, Gabbard was homeschooled through high school, except for two years at an all-girls SIF boarding school in the Philippines.

Gabbard settled into Hindu faith as a teenager.

Gabbard is vegan and, as a Hindu, follows Gaudiya Vaishnavism. She describes herself as a karma yogi. She values the Bhagavad Gita as a spiritual guide and took the oath of office in 2013 using her personal copy, which she gave to Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the latter’s visit to the United States in 2014.


Her MOS was Military Police. All her medals and awards are nothing special and look more like she was being groomed for something. She’s only a “combat veteran” because she served in an active war (Kuwait and Iraq), but she saw no actual combat.


In July 2016, Gabbard launched a petition to end the Democratic Party’s process of appointing super delegates in the nomination process. She endorsed Keith Ellison for DNC chair in the 2017 chairmanship elections.

Gabbard was assigned as Bernie Sanders’s running mate in California for any write-in votes for him. Shortly after the election, she was mentioned as a possible presidential candidate for 2020


However Gabbard has also expressed support for an easier path to citizenship for illegal immigrants, increasing skilled immigration, and granting work visas to immigrants. She said she would be open to a proposal for a border wall if experts say it’s warranted.

Gabbard has spoken in favor of a Green New Deal

Yep, Lee Zeldin is one twitter/x rumor. NYer and steady Trump supporter since the get go. Not sure how well his being Jewish will go over with the far ends of the political spectrum though. The left has gone full anti-Jew and the GAB types are still the same. I’m sure Andrew Torba and co will have some thoughts on a NY Jew being second in line in the chain of command. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lee_Zeldin#Personal_life

Exactly. Pompeo is a nonstarter by me & I was a big fan until he showed his dark side.

After Pence, Trump ought to know to stay away from questionable characters. Unfortunately, Trump got bad advice the first go around and it may still be the case. This is his last rodeo so he needs to look ahead and select someone who can aggressively pick up the torch in 2028.
