Yeah, that's a fun post, Citizen. Lots of Kamela kringe, and Alex Jones is correct. Leaving the party while ripping the veil off warmongering Democrats, Tulsi Gabbard is a legitimate hero to less-lunatic Democrats, Independents, and rational Republicans. She would be an amazing VP on her own merits while disarming sexist/racist attacks and DEI talking points. She and Trump would have big-league coattails, ring the death-knell of the Democrat party, and usher in 12 years of an Americans-first agenda.

If Trump chooses a white-male running mate, the ticket will own the white-supremacist label. If Trump chooses a running mate from Florida, somebody must relocate, and the ticket will be accused of rigging the system. Alex and I say, Tulsi for VP. Nothing but upsides to that.

Or Vivek - nobody is perfect and the media will try to destroy them or sow discord...

Something tells me Vivek is a little too slick, but I like what he says. He could be a very good VP for Trump. First generation American, right? Those seem to be the most loyal and practical Americans.

"Something tells me Vivek is a little too slick..." He's Indian - That could be good or very bad... It can really vary... BUT I have to give him the benefit of the doubt... Not so keen on JD Vance as I once heard him say or write to the effect that he was not interested in politics and was suppose to be doing VC type work to help the midwest but now he is in politics after writing a book....... Trump aside (who got into politics after Obama humiliated him at some dinner), I have to wonder if he really made alot of $ outside politics as why would you get into that???

Giving the benefit of the doubt is a credit to your character. I do like JD, and I’m only a little wary of Vivek. They both seem smart, sincere, and decent. I figure most people do the best they can between lapses of human nature. On the other hand, career politicians are mostly shameless and incapable of humility. I like a thoughtful, passably qualified citizen jumping into politics with an attitude like, “Somebody has to do something!” JD and MTG might fit that profile. Behind the msm ridicule, she can make sense. I can imagine Obama’s ridicule triggering Trump into running. He’s obviously driven to win, and he thrives on a challenge. I hope the beating he’s endured stokes his fire and humbles him a little bit.

That's not what I get from listening to her and the Neocons seem to hate her... Not sure if she is in the ADL's pocket like every other member or former member of Congress...

Her support for Bernie turned me off, but she’s no flake. She did challenge Dem’s plan to attack Syria, and it cost her. In her own words, “War is justified when it is in the best interest of our national security, and when it is the last resort, when all diplomatic efforts have been completed and exhausted and war is the last possible route that must be taken to ensure the safety, security, and freedom of the American people.” https://lexfridman.com/tulsi-gabbard-transcript

Pulling out of nuclear treaties was not a great move. Russia scaled up hypersonic missiles, and we depend on China for things needed to make anything to even be able to closely counter what the Russians are doing. Trump also created worse relations with China, which Biden seems to be worsening by driving Russia and China closer...we are not looking good unless we have some major drawdowns and mind our own business...

The well is poisoned enough. We cannot allow a Democrat to infiltrate.

That’s a valid point. She and deep-state Dems aren't friendly, but her past support for Bernie troubles me. If that’s only a reaction to Big Pineapple colonizing Hawaii, it might not be all bad.
