Gabbard’s statement sounds right to the point and entirely correct to my ear.
Folks who leap ahead to a discussion of her prospects for the presidency seem like they are in some sort of fantasy world. She did run once- with no success, but her prospects are no better now and probably worse. She won’t run.
The Fox News suggestion seems about right. The “hawt” comment is definately right and should serve her well. When you look that good your prospects are good whatever you turn your mind to.
She didn’t mention joining any GOP effort in any way, but I would run her face and her statement as a political ad in any Democratic state. She has done exactly what we want every Democrat voter to do- for exactly the reasons she has described.
