8track (and everyone) I know this is slightly off topic but if Gabbard is elected as Trump’s VP, what’s your opinion of her future in politics? So much will happen in those four years it’s impossible to make a guess but if you’re willing to take a stab, I’m interested in hearing what you have to say.

Tulsi will not be the pick.

Her future? Can't put my finger on where she is now, politically.
-Dem from Hawaii.
-She took fire in 2017 for meeting with Syrian tough guy Bashar al-Assad. Said she it was important to engage him to better understand his mindset. I don't recall if it was from Republican's or fellow Dems.
-She fought the LGBT+ stuff which pizzed off Dems, then softened her stance later.
-One of, maybe the first Hindu in congress and (aLLegedy) had ties with a right wing, Indian Nationalist paramilitary group.
-The DNC screwed her out of a place on the debate stage by changing the criteria. Don't recalll the detail.
-Hillary Clinton hates her- (in itself making her worthy of being president) accusing Gabbard of beign a Russian Asset (see the Assad stuff).

In the movie Idiocracy, one of the brainless drones freaks out ..UNSCANABLE, UNSCANABLE! That is what she is. Doesn't fit a category.

If there was such a thing as a Moderate-Turned Conservative-Now allbut Expelled Democrat, she'd make a major mess for Biden and the Dems.

I'd pay cash to what her tie Kamala up in knots in a debate. Gabbard has more brains in a pinky toenail than Harris and her handlers have.

If Trump is secure enough to have that strong of a female VP, it would be an astonishing, brilliant move.

I think his pick will come down to electoral college votes in specific states. Tulsi Gabbard if he needs college educated Women, Tim Scott if he needs Black voters, or Marco Rubio if he needs Hispanic voters.

Nikki would be a fun pick!

Going to be interesting for sure. Whoever it is needs to yield a net increase in potential voters. I’m thinking Tulsi Gabbard, Tim Scott, Glenn Youngkin or even Nikki Haley are the obvious choices for that.

in my opinion Youngkin is probably the best choice. He can all but guarantee winning Virginia’s 13 game electoral votes which Biden won in 2020. Additionally I think Youngkin gives Trump a decent boost to help win Arizona and Pennsylvania as well because of demographics. If that happens Trump wins. Game over.

Tim Scott may help swing some black vote but I think the only state with a high enough concentration of black voters who Scott could swing is Georgia. I don’t see him being able to swing Michigan, Illinois or New York. The rest of the blue states don’t have a high enough percentage of black voters that could be swung for a victory.

Gabbard and Haley don’t seem like logical choices. I really don’t see either of them contributing to the electoral college. Haley pretty much bombed in the primaries. I think Gabbard fails to convert any democrats. Maybe a few fence sitters is about all.

I don’t think Rubio would really help with the Hispanic vote and I’m pretty sure Trump wins Florida without him unless he says something stupid which is always a possibility.

I don’t really think Ben Carson brings in additional voters either. He’s never polled well outside traditional Republican voting blocks who will vote for Trump without him.

DeSantis was a never-Trumper choice so other than helping in Florida I don’t see him as a meaningful net positive.
