    @Renauda said in Trump’s shortlist:

    Why anyone would think Trump would select Tulsi Gabbard is beyond me.

    On second thought, don’t ask.

    Do you honestly believe that it’s worse than Vivek Ramaswamy?

    Not at all.

    I just don’t think she would be the passive sycophant he expects.

    Maybe she would be........

    Once a prominent backer of the leftwing senator Bernie Sanders, on Thursday she was greeted by far-right activists with a standing ovation and a group of supporters brandishing gold letters that spelled T-R-U-M-P.

    Such is the journey of Tulsi Gabbard, a former Democratic congresswoman and presidential candidate who has an entire Wikipedia page devoted to her “political positions” and is now seen as a possible running mate for Donald Trump.

    There are few better examples, critics say, of how the Trump era has scrambled the ideology not only of the Republican party but opportunists seeking media cachet and a book deal.

      I could see Trump giving Gabbard, Nikki Haley’s old job as US Ambassador to the U.N.. In that way she be under leash to the Sectretary of State whoever that is, although I would not be the least bit surprised to see Trump bring back Mike Pompeo in the top diplomat role.

        That implies that there’s a legitimate shot that he wins.

                My feeling about my neighborhood is that a Trump yard sign will be shunned, at least by the people I’ve met so far. But I’ve also seen one in a garage as a walked by. Should be interesting.

                    I considered whether it was autocorrect or sarcasm, but the meaning was the same in both cases.

                      @taiwan_girl silly question, but how are you so in tune with US politics, just this forum? It’s very impressive but I have no idea what I’d expect if I were born and living abroad.

                        @89th This board in its topics is pretty diverse, but for politics, the focus is (mostly) on the US.

                        I am not native born but a US citizen also, so it is interesting.

                        The US influence and power is much greater than its population % as compared to the world total population.

                        Plus, I guess I just like current events. LOL

                            I wasn’t aware that you had become a US citizen.

                            I had always been under the impression you were working for the Taiwanese foreign service in various postings as a commercial officer.

                                  I figured she was engaged in some kind of espionage.

                                  And I'm about 70% sure that she might be Jolly.
