Tulsi Gabbard Met With Trump, Says She's Open to Having Discussion About Being VP

Former President Donald Trump has been in conversation with former Congresswoman and 2020 presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI).

The discussions have primarily revolved around matters of foreign policy, with the possibility of serving as Trump's vice-presidential candidate also under consideration.

Per the Washington Post:

Former president Donald Trump and top advisers have spoken with former Hawaii congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard about foreign policy and how the Defense Department should be run in a second Trump term, according to people familiar with the matter.

Gabbard is a combat veteran and could serve well in Trump's administration. She served on the following committees when she was in Congress: Judiciary, Intelligence, Financial Services, Foreign Affairs, Energy and Commerce, Education and Labor, Transportation and Infrastructure, and Armed Services.

Gabbard told Fox News about her willingness to entertain discussions with Trump about potentially joining his 2024 presidential ticket as a running mate.

She ran for president in 2020 and had issues with the Democrat National Committee throughout her campaign. Unlike Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) in 2016, Gabbard made her feelings known and made sure that the voters knew that the DNC tried everything to stop her from debating, as well as Big Tech censoring her.

SNIP>>>>>

There has been talk that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. (I) is considering Gabbard as a running mate. She has the experience, is anti-war, and is a moderate Democrat. However, due to the Democrats moving more to the far left, Gabbard is perceived as being outside of the party's mainstream. Those who feel left out of the current Democrat Party and are looking for an alternative could vote for the Trump/Gababrd or RFK Jr./Gabbard ticket, which would result in fewer votes for President Biden.

Nope! I know that she has supposedly turned more conservative. But no way should we take a chance on that. Find someone who has always been a conservative. After some of the recent disappointments with women conservatives(Candice Owens, MTG,more) then I am a little Leary. Thinking women are to emotionally influenced for the job. Nikki is more crazy than Biden. Scary.

Tulsi was my Congress critter for a while.
She is a gun grabbing DINO.
In other words a Benevolent Dictator as opposed to Democrats who generally are Malevolent Dictators.

No. If you go female, go Nome, and I’m not that big on Nome.

Go get reborn in a U.S. state versus a mere territory.

Then we’ll talk.

If she’s a non-foreign-spiced, plain-vanilla, U.S. American NBC, we can consider it.

My thoughts exactly.

Once she publicly ditched the ‘rats (and she continues to dis them) I put her above many Republicans and most certainly above RINO’s like Romney and his ilk.

That being said, I’d still be cautious about going all in.

I think you’re right. BTW, I hope he chooses Abbott.

The only thing wrong with Tulsi Gabbard is she has had a political career.

Not interested in left/right. Interested in drain the Swamp.

As are most Independents. She could be plugged into State or DoD, but maybe nothing else because her Swamp draining credentials are not there.

The Reagan legacy was “ultimately” rudely rubbished by the Deep State-affiliated Bush family.
