Tulsi Gabbard For VP?
I & I Editorial Board
March 26, 2024
Donald Trump either has a short list or a long one, depending on the media source, in his search for a running mate. Either way, he could do a lot worse than Tulsi Gabbard. At least she knows, unlike many establishment Republicans, just how malicious Democrats are, since she used to be one and saw the depravity up close.
Maybe Trump will choose Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, or New York Rep. Elise Stefanik. He might turn to Ben Carson, a Cabinet official in his previous administration, South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott, or South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem. All would be acceptable, as would other Republicans not named.
It’s possible, however, the best candidate isn’t even a member of the party.
Gabbard was for eight years a Democrat representing Hawaii’s second congressional district in the U.S. House. She ran for the White House in 2020 as a Democrat, but has since left the party, declaring her independence in October 2022.
The Samoan-American, a U.S. Army Reserve lieutenant colonel and decorated combat veteran, showed her plucky streak, and her inclination to think independently, while speaking in December at Turning Point USA’s Americafest. She cautioned that “the future of our country is at risk.” Her former party, she said, in language similar to that she used when she announced she was leaving the Democrats’ fold, is “under the complete control of an elitist cabal of war mongers who are driven by cowardly wokeness.”

This is not just a rumor because we do know that she is on his list. Whether he actually picks her or not remains to be seen.
It wouldn’t surprise me one bit if he did.

She' the new "Throwin' Samoan",

Rubio can't be his VP -- he resides in FL.
Rubio's message is very clear. However we cannot forget the Gang of Eight.

No to Tulsi.
Once again, my recommendations:
- Rand Paul (then again, perhaps he's needed more to become Senate Majority Leader)
or
- J.D. Vance of Ohio (a thoughtful and well-spoken guy who won't need a speechwriter)
