This Is Why Trump Should Pick Tulsi Gabbard for VP
[PJ] I know Trump's people released the "short list" of his VP picks, but I'm not buying it.

Trump is clown-slapping Biden in almost every demographic except for those pesky, middle-aged, white zin-chugging Caucasian broads. They hate Trump with the power of 17 Prius hybrid engines.

I am personally related to at least two such women. One screams like a wounded harpy when Trump is on TV. The other, after a weekend of debate, admitted that her hatred of Trump is largely "emotional." By that, I assume she means it is hip to abhor Trump in her estrogen-overdrive social circles. You know the type: suburban, middle-aged moms dressed in their LULULEMON threads, posing as shining examples of what today's women "should" be as they nibble avocado toast like their hipster kids.

I have a sneaking suspicion that loathing Trump is cool with women who graduated with a degree or two only to abandon them to push prams to "baby yoga" classes.

They see themselves as smarter than us MAGA-capped goobers who are not worthy of debate. When pressed into a discussion, these Hillary lovers dodge facts and figures of Trump's victories during his term, usually with a haughty "you're stupid" snicker and a condescending brickbat talking point, likely purloined from serial harridan Rachel Maddow. But Tulsi Gabbard can change some of their minds. Maybe not all, but perhaps just enough to push Trump into the White House and President Finger-diddle into the tar pits.

Gabbard is the woman that lefty "paint and sip" chicks pretend they are: strong, smart, and unafraid. Few, if any, of the Trump-hating ogresses out there have served in the military. Gabbard, not caring what others think, had the lychees to leave the Democrats, a move that could potentially end her political career, when she saw that the Party had become a laughable, donkey circus, a move most liberal women could never fathom. Of course, it doesn't hurt that, physically speaking, Gabbard is also a total stun gun.

#2 Trump should pick VA Lt. Gov. Winsome Sears as his VP. A conservative black woman who would annihilate Kamala-lala- ding-dong in VP debates.

#5 The Democratic wine moms — and now many grandmoms — are never going to be persuaded by a woman who is everything that they claim to be. Nor will Lt. Gov Sears change their minds when Condoleezza Rice could not.

Write them off as potential Trump votes and concentrate on making Biden so unappealing they stay home, instead.

#7 Condoleezza Rice and Colin Powell were both marvelous modern success stories who wound up as willing as anyone to sell out to the Beltway ethos.

#8 Powell had some shady dealings in some miliary cover-ups, if I recall correctly. He knew who buttered his bread, I suppose.

#12 Trump is clown-slapping Biden in almost every demographic except for those pesky, middle-aged, white zin-chugging Caucasian broads. They hate Trump with the power of 17 Prius hybrid engines.

They have either Gayle King or Robin Roberts in the morning. Then they sit around watching the one-sided and deranged lunatics on The View rant, rave and foam at the mouth and they believe every word. In the evening it's Nora O'Donnel or David Muir and they hang on every word as if it's the gospel.

These pampered and sheltered people are shocked when a real woman like Kristi Noem shoots a vicious dog. They think the dog should have been taken to a shelter where a good deal of money would be spent to give the dog a lethal injection. They think the dog was some cute little puppy like they have in Manhattan or out in the suburbs. The chardonnay ladies never hear Noem's side of the story.

They didn't hear Sarah Palin and they won't hear Tulsi Gabbard either. A cartoon version of Gabbard is all you'll ever see on TV and it won't bear any resemblance to the truth.

#13 TW - you get it.

I've been saying exactly that for years. There are certain demographics that resist being reached, but the #1 demographic that is totally unreachable is the AWFLs (and by extension, their p-whipped husbands). Any money or effort spent on trying to pry them from the D plantation is completely wasted.

#15 ^Actually, they hate themselves, they just won't admit it - even to themself.

#17 People don't actually vote for the VP but the VP will be the frontrunner in 2028. It would be foolish to toss that away with a Democrat choice. You need someone that will continue programs set up by Trump. You need someone that is a fighter.

#18 Mercutio, I believe that is an image of Padme Lakshmi, not Tulsi Gabbard.
