Let's start working on Tulsi Gabbard 2028. Inform the people you know, and stay up-to date with the news. She's definitely going to join the GOP primaries.

The earlier you start the better. Just casually start vetting and testing the waters with potential voters. Warm them up to Tulsi and her policies. That's what I'll do whenever I get the opportunity, with patients, parents, friends, co-workers.

She doesn't really have a chance. She doesn't even get to sit on a sofa with a back in their meetings. She's not getting anything that'd let her work her way up to President.
nathan_speaks@reddit (OP)
She's definitely getting a cabinet position and is currently a MAGA darling. I see no reason why she couldn't be a decent contender.
sayzitlikeitis@reddit
MAGA darling but also a former Democrat. She has limited usefulness beyond the endorsement.
nathan_speaks@reddit (OP)
Trump is famously a former Democrat. "former Democrat/Republican" label doesn't mean anything these days.
sayzitlikeitis@reddit
Trump is a former Democrat donor, not a former elected Democrat
nathan_speaks@reddit (OP)
You are intentionally omitting important context. Tulsi has never been a staunch Democrat; she has always held relatively socially conservative and anti-establishment beliefs. It's evident that she only became a Democrat in the first place because getting elected in Hawaii is nearly impossible otherwise.
sayzitlikeitis@reddit
That’s even worse, she’s an opportunist and a turncoat. Nothing Donald cares for more than loyalty.
nathan_speaks@reddit (OP)
I don't think Donald has any problem with Tulsi. You are just here to hate.
sayzitlikeitis@reddit
Check out the video from inside the Trump war room that was released recently. Yes, Tulsi is there but nobody in the room is paying attention to what she says and she has the worst seat in the room.
I admire the amount of hope you have for Tulsi. I did too. I used to run a sub in 2016 trying to push Tulsi to be president in 2020 (turnergabbard2020). The unfortunate truth is that she has burned all possible bridges in order to get proximity to power and all she is good at anymore is clinging to the winning side. The body language of that clip should be enough to tell you how much respect she commands with team trump.
nathan_speaks@reddit (OP)
I could not find it.
No offense but I think we have very different reasons for supporting her.
danielid@reddit
Nope
sumit24021990@reddit
She will also lose just because she is a woman
nathan_speaks@reddit (OP)
Kamala was a terrible, terrible candidate. Tulsi doesn't even compare.
sumit24021990@reddit
Kamala's only problem was hee gender.
Nothing else. Tulsi will face the same problem. Hell virgin Mary will face the same problem.
OpenEnded4802@reddit
We are way overdue, and there are many women like Tulsi that would makrle an excellent POTUS, just none have been nominated yet
sumit24021990@reddit
Kamala lost despite being respectful to everyone, appealing to everyone, good economy.
Her opponent was a old, fat man who can't stand straight, takes racist and sexist jibe
Now, I m certain that u will never ever have a woman president ever.
Even countries like Pakiatan and Bangladesh had women leaders. U have shown entire world that without outside pressure, u r not better than Afghanistan.
OpenEnded4802@reddit
She clearly was not appealing to everyone...EC and popular vote tell us that much.
And good economy?
She was a terrible candidate, even DNC insiders are starting to come out and say as much now that it's over. She ran on project 2025 fear-mongering, identity politics, dodged accountability in numerous, disasterous interviews and had no real record of accomplishments in 4 years. She was one of the least popular VPs in modern history (before the DNC's paid social influencers and celeb endorsements tried to convince us otherwise when she was anointed without a single vote) and didn't even get a vote in 2024 primaries OR 2020 - Elizabeth Warren got 2.8M, so don't tell me Harris' loss is sealing it for future candidates that are actually good, like Tulsi, Tammy Duckworth, Nikki Haley, Gretchen Whitmer etc...
sumit24021990@reddit
No politician can ever appeal to everyone.
garcia3005@reddit
you're fooling yourself if you think she has a chance to win the nominee in either party
VetGranDude@reddit
Curious...why do you say that? She's very well-liked in Republican circles. She has been advising Trump throughout his campaign.
She's a dream candidate for the Republicans: smart, good-looking, well-spoken, cool-headed, a minority, a veteran, a female, a great debater. It couldn't get any better. And conservatives seem to be much more open to anti-establishment candidates.
sumit24021990@reddit
She will be hated the day she runs for president.
iamanewyorker@reddit
Every women I know who voted trump says tulsi is a women they want to vote for…she needs White House exposure more than she got in Hawaii but I think she could be president.
sumit24021990@reddit
Or any woman
nathan_speaks@reddit (OP)
that's what they said for Trump in 2016
u537n2m35@reddit
On deck for 2028 VP: Tulsi, but she’ll need to get busy for the next four years.
On deck for 2028 POTUS: DeSantis or Vance.
sumit24021990@reddit
No woman can ever become president of the USA
nathan_speaks@reddit (OP)
Both great candidates that I would vote for in the election, but I'd rather personally support Tulsi as the presidential candidate.
u537n2m35@reddit
word. the bench is deep.
AaayMan@reddit
Sounds good, won't work. Vance will likely just about be gifted the position as the sitting VP. There'll be a primary of sorts but I imagine most voters will just grant him the nomination.
billy-suttree@reddit
I’m gonna need a minute to chill
nathan_speaks@reddit (OP)
It's alright. Just a casual reminder.
billy-suttree@reddit
I hope she is tho
