Tulsi Gabbard Met With Trump, Says She's Open to Having Discussion About Being VP
RedState ^ | February 19, 2024 | Levon Satamian

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.

this person believes it’s ok to kill the unborn right up to birth and newborns too. Not sure why the GOP is fawning over her.

She is a Democrat. She voted with Democrats. She signed on to their platform and voted for it those years she was in office.

If she came out tomorrow with a speech denouncing the Left, repudiating every single Leftist stance she has taken and supported, and unequivocally said she supported every MAGA agenda item ranging from RKBA to reducing government, I would listen with skepticism, but that is as far as I would go.

Anyone who has spent their adult life as a member of the Democrat Party, without an unequivocal David Horowitz-like repudiation of the Left, is a no-go for me.

And I don’t give a damn what she did or did not do in the military. Not a bit. Being a Democrat or a RINO who works in collaboration with them negates any good will that might bring.

Some people get all starry-eyed because she has breasts and a vagina, but those are the same people whose opinion I discount anyway.

Yep.

And that “occasionally sounds sane” is likely tailored towards this poll or that.

She is a Democrat. Which means she is a Leftist.

As terrible as the Democrat Party was from the Thirties onward, it still is a completely different thing.

Maintaining the FR tradition of calling all women to the left of Margaret Thatcher a whore.

A tradition I uphold.

Rand as VP might actually excite me. I might actually believe we are going to fight vote fraud/high treason.

If you’re looking for a downlow Bushite country club Republican, you can have him. He’s been mute on runaway property taxes, glacial on education and has maybe 6 cumulative, not consecutive, months of optics on border issues that have rampaged unabated for 3 years. All in weak governer political system. But as he declared during COVID lockdowns I’m non-essential, so your mileage may vary.

..... Like it or not Trump has to do a lot more than just draw from his Base Supporters if we want him to win the election. He was able to draw 74,223,369 votes in the 2020 presidential election. Biden drew 81,282,916 so that will be the very least we will need to beat the Denocrats et-al in this upcoming election. His VP Pick will be critical and need to draw a lot of people from many other factions if we want to win.

Too few have people seen the dozens of Gabbard’s interviews with Tucker, Laura, Huckabee, Vanity, and a few others.
