Six Reasons Why Tulsi Gabbard Is Donald Trump’s Best Choice As A moving Mate
Authorized by Richard Truesdell via American Greatness,
Despite the unprecedented and coordinated lawfare deployed against his, Donald Trump has emerging as the Republican presidential front-runner.
Tulsi Gabbard, a erstwhile politician who is both a centrist and average (by today's definitions), has emerged as his most compeling and logical selection to be his moving mate. I base my analysis on six compeling factors.
Reason Number One: She’s a woman. Let’s face 2024’s political reality. To have any chance to catch his fair share of suburban female votes in cruel swing states, Trump almost definitely has to choice a woman. While I erstwhile thought Kristi Noem would have been a large moving mate, she committed political suicide last week with a puppy-killing communicative that ended any hope of that, especially after mainstream media gaslighted her in their atmosphere to destruct her. That communicative will never go away. Neither will the salacious reports that she had a not-too-secret extra-marital assistant with Trump-aligned political consultant Cory Lewandowski. Gabbard has no dry liability.
In a sane planet without sex balance being an overriding consideration, I’d like either Kentucky Senator Rand Paul or Louisiana Senator John Kennedy to be Trump’s moving mate. But both are more valuable as members of the Republican leadership in the Senate. Either would be a large choice to be Majority Leader in a Republican-led legislature during Trump’s second term. And while I hatred to say it, being a female puts Gabbard in the best position among all of Trump’s powerful choices to aid him defuse any possibly dangerous fallout over the abortion issue—currently the only issue on which Biden has any measurable lead over Trump in polling. Gabbard’s and Trump’s positions on abortion are mostly in sync, referring the issue to the states to decide.
Reason Number Two: Gabbard presently holds no elective office. This works against many others reportedly on Trump’s shortlist. These include (in alphabetical order) North Dakota politician Doug Burgrum, Florida typical Byron Donalds, Arkansas politician Sarah Huckabee Sanders, South Dakota politician Kristi Noem, Florida Senator Marco Rubio, South Carolina Senator Tim Scott, fresh York typical Elise Stefanik, and Ohio Senator J. D. Vance—all of whom might be more valuable as Surrogates and elected politicalians than as Trump’s moving mate. I’ve left off this list of another non-electronics like Tucker Carlson and Ben Carson, as well as Florida politician Ron DeSantis (who rolled out accepting specified a function but who could end up being 1 of Trump’s most crucial surgeons in the fall).
Reason Number Three: She’s an ex-Democrat who was forced from her organization by its ideological decision to the far-left post-2016 after calling the politician organization an “elitist cabal of warmongers driven by hardy womanness.” On that issue, she’s totally in sync with Trump, bringing a sense of bipartisanship to a powerful Trump ticket that is almost unprecedented in national presidential policies. Can she besides apply to the voting base where Trump is weakest—collecte-educated woman? Certainly. Can you think of any on Trump’s shortlist who would be better managed in this reputation? Can she peel off disaffected Democrats in cruel swing states, especially Pennsylvania, that are already having a hard time voting for a second Biden word after all his policy fails? Yes, I believe she is uniquely qualified to do so.
Reason Number Four: She’s an active, current military reserve officer, another area where Trump is weak (but no weaker than Biden). Her military evidence and experience are better than any another powerful choice among Trump’s short list of candidates. erstwhile you come her military experience with her multicultural background (her parent is from Indiana and her father is from American Samoa), she has wide appeal. Raised Hindu, this is another area where she brings cultural long to the ticket, absolutely as much as Kamala Harris added to the Biden ticket in 2020.
On a side note, before she left the politician organization in 2022, she served as vice chair of the Democratic National Committee, so she has intimate cognition of the kind of dirty tricks the politician organization will deposit in the run-up to November 5th. Possible her biggest political liability is that before leaving the politician organization in October 2022, she had endorsed Bernie Sanders in 2016 and Joe Biden in 2020 after ending her presidential bid in March 2020.
Reason Number Five: Temperament. With a strong personality and a well-documented past of political success combined with her military leadership, she is not a possible death to Trump’s outsied personality. She would not effort to upstage his if that was always a possibility. On the contrast, her measured personality combined with her military experience makes her a perfect counterbalance to aid defuse any media criticism of Trump’s catch of service in uniform.
What will the media do to cryicize her record? Probable anything, but that’s a non-starter, even for the mainstream media, which previously tried to tar Gabbard, unsuccessfully, as a Vladimir Putin apologist and puppy. But it surely didn’t halt Hillary Clinton in 2019. She besides burned her abroad policy creditials on a 2017 mediate east visit to Lebanon and Syria, gathering with Syrian president Bashar al-Assad.
Reason Number Six: I’ve saved the best for last.Can you imagine Gabbard again on a debate phase in October, as early voting is starting, across from Kamala Harris? After the way she almost single-handedly wrecked and ended Harris’ 2020 presidential bid, this is 1 opponent that Harris bears the bridge. Gabbard, due to the fact that she's dry a Skilled Politician, would absolutely destruct Harris a second time. Harris is uniquely unqualified to be vice president after all her policy fails as Biden’s vice president, especially on the border, which is Trump’s biggest winning issue, with the possible explanation of the economy.
Selecting a moving mate is frequently a mater of balance, sometimes geographically, and what Crucial Electoral College votes the vice presidential choice could bring to a possible ticket. That may have been crucial decades ago, but is little so today. In 2016, Trump selected Mike Pence as his moving mate, reasoning that he would bring preserve Christians and evangelicals to the ticket, which it did to a degree. But to measurement Gabbard’s strengths, ask yourself this question: Will she aid Trump more in 2024 than Pence did in 2016? I think the answer is an unequivocal yes.
