I'm making a bold prediction today she's got this based on the following evidence:
She's on the list
Donald Trump Shortlist: Tulsi Gabbard's VP Chances Soar
"Tulsi Gabbard's odds of becoming the 2024 Republican vice-presidential candidate surged with a leading bookmaker after Donald Trump said she was on his short list during a Fox News town hall on Tuesday".
She wants it
Tulsi Gabbard ready to ‘serve my country’ as Trump’s vice president if asked
“If that call came, I would say yes, and I'd be honored to serve my country in that way and to be in a position, first, to help win this election, to stop the Democratic elite from destroying our country, and then actually begin the real work of getting our country back on track,” Gabbard said.
“And that starts with having people of courage in our government who care more about the country than they do about the political elite in Washington."
Betting odds reflect her growing chances
She was 35/1 earlier this year now she is 7/1 2nd FAVORITE in the betting to be the GOP Vice Presidential nominee.
For someone who isnt even a Republican to be 2nd Favorite for the nomination is unprecedented.
Her rivals are unimpressive
Noem, Tim Scott, etc. all look lightweights to me so that leaves JD Vance and I'm not sure Trump will pick a freshman senator
So that leads me to conclude that Tulsi Gabbard has this!!
Interesting...
Mark this thread because I have immediately placed $25 on her at 7/1 and will be donating the winnings (175 bucks) to FR if she is chosen by Donald Trump.
I'm confident enough for a small wager anyway!
Who agrees with me that it'll be her? And who's excited by this possibility?
Who you got for the Derby?
And she looks a lot better in a red bikini than Harris ever could.

She’s also got a book out I notice and in the news frequently.
You got to wonder why. She’s no longer in public office.
The clues point to something.
Prominent Cabinet position... not VP.
It would infuriate a lot of his base for her to be VP.
He could do worse. Is she Christian? Honest question.
My money is on Elise Stefanik.
I think it has to be a woman b/c that is the one group that Trump can’t seem to win over at the same level as other groups.
Rightly or wrongly, Noem ruined her chances with that idiotic admission about killing her dog.
Flynn and Rand would also be good possibilities. And why not Musk? Obama shredded the NBC requirement so I say Musk is a viable option.
Lets hope not. She brings absolutely nothing to the table...not only is she not a conservative, she’s not even a Republican.
hope not. I don’t want another democrat in power in our nation.
Actually l think it’s a good choice strategically. She does not pass the purity test but l can’t think of anyone who would help the ticket more. If we don’t get treasonous prick out of the White House this election the country is finished. That is all that matters.
Member of the administration, but not cabinet or VP
Trump could do worse.
I’m holding out for Byron Donald’s, so very articulate and smart enough to be president, and the Florida residence is not a problem.
I hope not. She’s a total Zero on climate, fossil fuels and gun control.
Here’s hoping Trump is not that stupid. (I don’t think he is)
She’s a rabid leftist, with not an ounce of MAGA in her little pea brain.
Trump has to know this, it’s no secret. She’s not even democrat-lite, she’s full blown Leftist.
I will not vote for that ticket.
Being a woman of color, and a former Democrat, she brings votes to the table, ones that Trump would not otherwise get.
Two Ex Dems as our leaders. She knows how Washington works.
I admit I did not think about Stefanik.
I know little about her.

I was absolutely, 100% dead set against her two months ago. I believed her to fully be a snake in the grass, a Leftist wearing sheep’s clothing.
Then, against my will, I watched her interview with Tucker Carlson, and I forced myself to watch. I was away from home, staying at a friend’s house. I was going to just surf the Internet while he watched, and then I thought “Why won’t I watch? What am I afraid of? Changing my mind? Having been wrong?”
So I took it as an exercise to see if I could go against my nature on people like her, which is to shut my ears because I have heard it a million times before. And I watched, and listened.
I believe she has had a transformation similar to what Ronald Reagan went through, and what David Horowitz went through (and HE was a RADICAL Leftist, the worst of the worst). I believe she is a liberal who has been mugged.
That said, I have come to two conclusions: First, people have to make their own choices, and Second, some people will never ever change their minds, and that is that.
As a result, I won’t argue with people about it, since many have their minds made up and aren’t going to change it. That is their choice, not mine. But I will say, if she were selected, I would still vote for Trump after watching the interview, and I would feel quite differently about it than I would have two months ago.
NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
