Apparently, she is playing well in New Hampshire
You’ll never believe who tops the list of Trump running mates in a new swing state poll
The politician who tops the list of preferred running mates for former President Donald Trump in a new poll in a key Northeastern swing state is not even a Republican.
Former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii, who ran for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination but left her party two years later to become an independent, stands atop the list in a new University of New Hampshire Survey Center poll.
Nearly a quarter (24%) of voters who indicated they are not supporting President Biden in New Hampshire named Gabbard when asked their preference for whom Trump should choose as his running mate. (snip)
Gabbard, an officer in the Hawaii National Guard, is a veteran of the Iraq War. She made history as the first Samoan-American elected to Congress. She was once a member of the progressive wing of the Democratic Party and endorsed Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders for the 2016 Democratic presidential nomination.
She mounted a long-shot White House bid of her own in 2020. But since leaving the Democratic Party, she has started appealing to conservatives.
At a Fox News town hall in South Carolina in February ahead of that state’s GOP presidential primary, Trump indicated that at least a half dozen contenders — including Gabbard — were on his short list for running mate.
Is New Hampshire really a swing state? I’m doubting it, but, hey, you never know. Regardless, would Republicans stand for Gabbard? She seems like a nice person, she’s stood up to the moonbats in the Democratic Party, and certainly does seem to have a real love of America, unlike so many Democrats. However, she is still left of center, and big supporter of abortion, spending, taxing, and many Democratic initiatives.
But, what if picking her was a good thing electorally? What if bringing her on as his VP pick could make darned sure that Trump gets 270 electoral votes? At the end of the day, it’s about winning. And beating Biden right now is huge. Can the U.S. take another four years of Biden and his policies?
