She is playing as active a part as she can, speaking at the right gatherings (RNC, CPAC), frequent media gust (Tucker, Bill Maher, etc.), and with her own channels and podcasts.

I would have preferred her to JDV as VP, but we are where we are. JDV is OK, but doesn’t appeal to the middle like Tulsi would have. Tulsi would have been better for November, which is the only thing that matters right now.

There is nothing “right-wing” about keeping men out of women’s sports.

Before she left Congress last winter, the former Democratic representative Tulsi Gabbard introduced two bills: one restricting abortion; the other, banning trans women transvestite male perverts from participating in women’s sports.

Fixed it.

To the left, common sense = far-right wing extremism

Like RFK, Jr., Tulsi has seen the democrats for what they are.

She didn’t fall in line with the democrats so they attacked her. Hillary basically called her a Russian agent.

Democrats used lawfare and all other means to harm RFK, Jr.’s run for office. They did the same for Tulsi.

Build Back Better is probably more like "If your state or city follows all of our DEI and CRT policies, then maybe we'll give you some money to fix those potholes."

It's the same thing the Dems are doing with regard to policing. They get state and local governments to defund the police and then they create federal funding programs to bridge the financial gap, but only for those cities that toe the Democrat line.

Unfortunately, I think the RINOs will go along with this because it is the only way for congressmen and senators to pretend they're being "tough on crime".

More and more shifting to the central bureaucracy and away from local control.

democrats...attacked her

Democrats can get pretty nasty to anyone who tries to escape and go against them. Look what they do to conservative blacks.

Tulsi is well to the left of Obama Biden Harris on domestic policy. What does anything mean any more if she is a Republican?

The GOP is morphing into a populist party with a more centrist philosophy.

Many former Democrats are going to find they are a better fit for this “Trump GOP” than they are for the ever moving left Democrat party.

Trump
Gabbard
Kennedy

I was for Vance before I was for Gabbard. I now don’t see Vance bringing into the fold anyone who isn’t already MAGA. Gabbard would bring in an awful lot of voters who would not otherwise consider Trump. And with Florida turning blue and the MSM chocolate-coating Harris for consumption by the idiot masses, Trump will need every non-MAGA vote he can get.

She is returning to her roots, where she was aligned with her father who is about as conservative as you can be in Hawaii and still hold public office (as a Dem of course). She has never been a crazy progressive.

“Now her move to the right is just about complete.”
I posted yesterday, these articles are flooding the interwebs, all of a sudden.
I’m thinking Tulsi is a Trojan Horse, not the GOP’s Dark Horse.

What are you talking about?? Florida is not turning blue. Not even close. Trump will win it by 5-7 pts, maybe more. Do you have any idea how big of a margin that is in a state that size? If you are referring to the garbage St Pete poll, don’t. Baris already pointed out how lousy they poll.
