First, I want to say that I'm usually confirming breaking news, just because I want to put out facts. This is NOT one of those, so don't blame me if it's wrong.
I think Lead is going to be head over heels about this news though. I'm pretty happy also.
When President Donald Trump confirmed six names on his shortlist for running mate, it included five expected names and one very strange one: former Democratic Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard.
The list consists of two types of candidates, with Tulsi not fitting into either bucket.
The first type is the establishment Republican candidate and the second is the Trump-mold candidate. Neither is what Trump needs. He doesn’t need a safe, milquetoast GOPer that connects him with the uniparty tradition that his initial candidacy sought to reject and that — eight years into the Trump era — doesn’t hold much sway with voters.
Tulsi is like Trump only in that she is like no one else in the political class. She has consistently gone precisely her own way, in her own style, for her own reasons, most recently by publicly denouncing and leaving the Democratic Party when she saw it being hijacked by illiberal wokeness.
Here are the pickings as I see them.
ONE: President- pedojoe or trumpster. joe may die in office sniffing some 11 year-olds hair. trumpster may get shot by po with the help of curt. So that's a tossup.
VP- kammiekammiekammiekammiekammiekamilian. Can't put two words together without it being a soup without any class or spice. But she has the cackle. Not a good look.
Tulsi- articulate, always on her own path that she seeks for the better good. I'd actually trust her with the border or anything else she's in charge of.
She's also the first Samoan and Hindi to hold the VP slot.
