I find it bizarre as hell you think she would take votes from Trump.
To be perfectly clear, she would take more votes from Trump than she would the dem candidate, if she ran as an independent.
The fact that you would phrase your response as you did (’bizarre as hell’) tells me responding is probably a waste of time but what the heck.
Hillary just about beat Trump. Any nut that voted for evil is voting for evil again. Meaning they are voting for the dem candidate again. Most of those who simply couldn't vote for Hillary probably voted for Trump or stayed home. Those are the votes we are concerned with. Trump was largely an unknown quantity when elected (as far as a candidate). The media has been working every minute to portray Trump in as bad a light as possible. To information and truth seeking voters like those on FR, the media is not changing our minds. But those other voters are vulnerable. Now here comes Gabbard. Attractive, very well spoken, and a military vet. She will look like a good alternative to those who buy into the media narrative about Trump but still want to vote. Please now tell me why that opinion is as bizarre as hell and why Gabbard running as independent would be a good thing for Trump.
