Showing Original Post only (View all)DU Poll: Would Tulsi Gabbard be a good VP choice? [View all]
I am aware of the negatives about Gabbard, and I won't be voting for her in the primary. But I am among those who was impressed with her debate performance, and I think she could possibly be an asset on the campaign trail. So here's the question...
Regardless of what you think about her positions (or allegiances or whatever other questions you have about her):
Assuming the goal is to put together a ticket that beats Trump, do you think Gabbard would be a good choice for VP?

She's not against war, just regime change, she likes despots and dictators

OTOH, appealing to non-Dems is part of what lets a ticket win the White House.

No Dem is going to vote for Trump (or stay home) because Gabbard is on the ticket.

Fortunately she has no chance of being anywhere near the Dem ticket.

I don't see the qualifications, any particular skill-set, or ability to gain voters for ticket. NT

See post #10 if you want to know why she doesn't belong within a country mile

Please know that everything she said that resonated with you was carefully cultivated to do so,

I forgot I had posted this poll! In fact, I'm come to think more positively of her since then,
