Don't worry, folks! Tulsi won't be Trump's VP pick. Why? She's not an Article 2 Section 1 Clause 5 natural born Citizen eligible for the vice presidency.

Right...but she can damn well be part of Trump’s cabinet. Tulsi is not perfect (no politician is...) but she’s right enough times for me.

None of that matters.

I do notice the short list is not very short.

This is some smart thinking by Trump. He must appear to embrace some semblance of Swamp behavior until nominated. At that point, the only non Swamp option is Vivek.

The Number One Requirement Is Non Swamp. That means no previous political career.

So the requirements for VP are more stringent than the President ????

If he picks Tulsi for VP its game over for Trump as President, and the USA.

Tulsi Gabbard’s mother was born in Indiana.

I like Christy Noem better BUT Kelsi would bring in more votes. But her in charge of something like violations of free speech or something like that.

She’s speaking this afternoon at CPAC. There was a barn burner speech by Mark Robinson this morning! He’s currently Lt. Gov. of NC, now running for Gov.

I like Tulsi. I know she's a leftie, but if all lefties were like that, our country would be in better shape.

Of course, we'd also need real conservatives, as well, not these red-meat throwing phonies infesting Congress.

She won’t be Trump’s pick. But not for the goofy and untrue reason you give.

Gabbard staked out a spot among Democrats...become the darling of the right while still being on the left simply by stating a few obvious truths and continuing to support leftist causes. She’s like the reverse Manchin or reverse John McCain...a “maverick” don’t ya know...

Interesting idea. I do like Tulsi Gabbard. I don’t agree with her on some things but is sane and pro-America.

She will stab Trump in the back, first chance she gets. She is 100% deep state.

I love Trump, but his record at appointments is just awful.

I agree. If we abandon the natural born citizenship clause now, it will be exploited by others who may come after Mrs. Gabbard who may not share her political convictions, and expose us all to the greatest threat to the Republic the founders and framers of the US Constitution knew well, feared most, and warned us all against: the loss of our freedoms and liberties not from an external military threat but from political subversion from within our own political system.

When you stop and realize virtually all executive power in this country is held by one person as the commander in chief of all of this nation’s armed forces and also take into account the vast increase in speed and destructive firepower modern weapons now have over their 18th Century counterparts, you begin to realize just how important this requirement has become in today’s turbulently shrinking world, and how important it is to apply the narrowest of definitions to the “natural born citizen” requirement rather than standing on the threshold of abandoning it altogether — forever.

There is no absolute, failsafe, clause or provision that will protect the Republic from just such a fate, but if we weaken this provision now, that fate will come sooner rather than later, and future generations of Americans will look back at this time and call out our names, giving us the blame.

That’s good to know, because if she ended up on the ballot with him, I’d have to sit home Election Day, because I would never vote for her, or any other a-hole to be one heartbeat away from the Presidency. I’d want no part of that.
