I'm making a bold prediction today she's got this based on the following evidence:
She's on the list
Donald Trump Shortlist: Tulsi Gabbard's VP Chances Soar
"Tulsi Gabbard's odds of becoming the 2024 Republican vice-presidential candidate surged with a leading bookmaker after Donald Trump said she was on his short list during a Fox News town hall on Tuesday".
She wants it
Tulsi Gabbard ready to ‘serve my country’ as Trump’s vice president if asked
“If that call came, I would say yes, and I'd be honored to serve my country in that way and to be in a position, first, to help win this election, to stop the Democratic elite from destroying our country, and then actually begin the real work of getting our country back on track,” Gabbard said.
“And that starts with having people of courage in our government who care more about the country than they do about the political elite in Washington."
Betting odds reflect her growing chances
She was 35/1 earlier this year now she is 7/1 2nd FAVORITE in the betting to be the GOP Vice Presidential nominee.
For someone who isnt even a Republican to be 2nd Favorite for the nomination is unprecedented.
Her rivals are unimpressive
Noem, Tim Scott, etc. all look lightweights to me so that leaves JD Vance and I'm not sure Trump will pick a freshman senator
So that leads me to conclude that Tulsi Gabbard has this!!
Interesting...
Mark this thread because I have immediately placed $25 on her at 7/1 and will be donating the winnings (175 bucks) to FR if she is chosen by Donald Trump.
I'm confident enough for a small wager anyway!
Who agrees with me that it'll be her? And who's excited by this possibility?
She “converted” as a baby. Or before conception. All the Gabbard kids, her brothers, IIRC, have Hindu names.
I don’t see that as a + or - factor, politically. I don’t think she herself adds or detracts much from the ticket.
Her father “Was” Catholic.
Still Catholic. Never not.
Her parents are Indian nor were they Hindu.
It’s amazing isn’t it? I’m used to the left being mindless dupes that are led by their emotions, but the number of people claiming to be MAGA that are this foolish, is startling. We have enough of a problem fighting the Democrats and the RINO’s. We don’t need unforced errors from gullible people on our own side.
>>I love her!! She’s great and I hope she gets the nod. The things Nys most important to me — freedom of speech and stopping Perpetual War — she’s solid.
Probably 200 million Americans would tell you that they’re against perpetual war and for freedom of speech if you asked them. But we should choose a hard leftist for VP because she says the same thing?
Sadly, I completely agree.
But if you look at Trump's interviews back in 1987 with Larry King and he professes to be a Republican.
But when you listen to that 1987 interview, he is ALL, 100% MAGA, not much different from him today. And he has so much anger at the USA being treated like patsies.
It is worth a listen. And, it explains why there were no wars during his Presidency, and why he pushed NATO countries to contribute their fair share.
“Is she Christian? Honest question.”
She’s a Hindu. Honest answer.
We don’t need that sh!t one heartbeat from the presidency.
Honest comment.
I’d be happy if he were to choose Carol Swain. If not for VP, then to head up Education. Her job would be to dissolve Dept. of Education.
Wrong.
So the solution is to pick someone that everyone already knows is not MAGA?
I’d like to see Mike heading the DOJ
“Terrible past lefty positions YES and she won’t pass a purity test here...”
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Agreed, but she has recanted many of those positions (let’s not forget that Reagan began his political life as a Democrat).
Also, being a House Rep from Hawaii, you simply aren’t going to get elected there holding any remotely conservative positions.
I give her a pass on the conservative litmus test, because it matters not one iota.
But that is all 100% irrelevant.
The ONLY thing that matters is: does she help Trump win the election? I believe the answer to that is a solid Yes.
Like me you see the bigger picture. She’s competent, likable and loves her country (I have no doubt).
I see her as an honorable public servant.
But you have to look past the liberal positions and that is going to be too much for some people. They’ll always find something not to like.
Trump should not pick another Pence. Please, no.
She is a democrat. NO! to vp.
Everyone on the conservative right wants Trump... Why would he clutter up his ticket with an enigma like Haley? He doesn't need any distractions from his MAGA agenda.
Haley veep is not going to happen.
Sick....
