So were a lot of other Republicans with whom you probably agree 80% of the time. “Our side” is not “our side”. It’s everyone willing to support Trump and back his policies.

But that’s just my opinion.
She's also gone through changes on a lot of issues including the 2nd Amendment. She also did an interview with Donald Trump Jr. and that was one of the conversations:
She's not perfect, but she isn't closed minded like your average leftist.

^^^ Yup. She might or might not be a Trojan horse as I mentioned before, but to dismiss her outright, saying "she's a leftist through and through", citing a link that spells out the positions she took from many years ago (She left the Democrat Party less than 2 years ago) is pretty lame. People's politics can change, you know. The best examples are President Reagan and Moses (aka Charlton Heston). It probably comes as surprise to y'all, but I was once a Dem, enthusiastically supporting Clinton, when he first ran for President.

Did you support Hildebeast too? Bill is quite the salesman. He had everybody laughing after Hurricane Katrina. That takes skill.

Well, it looks like Kristi the wannabe sorority girl has screwed her opportunity to be VP and closer to Corey Lewandowski.

Aside from the stupidity of her broadcasting her "dog control," a practice not uncommon in flyover country, to urban dwellers and dog lovers who are naturally repelled, the constant references to her having an affair with Lewandowski are getting VERY old. The allegation was made by a single reporter. One Pedro Gonzalez in an article he authored in American Greatness. He referenced unnamed sources. No one else has ever made a claim about Noem having an affair. But of course the leftist anti-conservative MSM picked up on this, ran with it, and constantly repeats it. Those here who cite it apparently also are Pedro believers. <sigh>

I sure do not know what is in Tulsi Gs heart, but I do know that things and people change. I was once a Democrat and proud of it. Then the Democrat Party changed! Then I was a Republican and proud of it. Then the Republican party changed! Now I'm not sure what the hell I am, but I do know that I haven't voted for any Democrat in years and have no plans to ever do so again. Rod

Started out as a Democrat. Switched to Republican. Now non-affiliated. My politics have changed as I've gotten older. I've never voted for a Democrat for President, but my disaffection with the Republican Party started with the McCain campaign. I have voted for a Democrat for governor because his opponent in 1992 was just a bucket of smoke. As far as Tulsi is concerned I could see me voting for her. Depends upon who she was running against, but she's better than any other Democrat out there.
So, I second the motion from the post above. I don't know what the hell I am anymore.

Some of us don't fit neatly into either party. I actually can't stand either of them because they're more interested in helping each other than the American people.

What is different with Gabbard is that her changes happened frequently and while she was in full gear with her political career. She wasn't a college student or a young adult waking up to reality. We used to call this "flip-flopping", and that is what I'm calling it with her. I don't trust her, and I don't think Trump should either. Plus he needs people who are solidly on his side and on the side of MAGA, who are loyal, even when life got shitty for him. She has not demonstrated this, unlike other people on his list, including Noem.

Anyone more loyal than Dr. Ben Carson?

Ben Carson is a Trump loyalist to the core. It is almost a guarantee that he would not fuck over Trump like Pence or any of the other traitors. IMO, he would make an excellent choice for VP.
