My tinfoil is firmly in place as I type:
I think there is a good chance that the Trump team is setting things up for a Trump/Tulsi announcement. She has in the span of a week been on Trump Jr's show, an hour long interview on Tucker's show (she's actually on there a bit), and several other interviews I've caught, or at least seen in my youtube feed but haven't watched more than snippets of yet. But she has in all of them been giving answers that a lot of R, and even libertarian voters, generally want to hear about everything from gun rights to stopping establishment elites on both sides of the aisle, to keeping our noses out of foreign conflict. She also, when asked if she would take a VP role, has given the, "I would serve in any role that helps my country" answer, which is pretty much a "yes". She has also really focused on her military background, and most all the former snake eater guys with podcasts sure do seem to like and respect her, which will obviously transfer to much of their audience.
In the last couple of days, I've seen a bunch of guntube channels in my feed talking about these interviews. Some enthusiastically, some with a good deal of skepticism. I don't trust any politicians, but my current stance is that Reagan and Trump were democrats at one point, so I am inclined to give her the benefit of the doubt that she has embraced many of the things that are important to me. I would not be against her in the VP role. She would certainly be better than someone like Pence, and it would lead to an interesting 2028, where she would be in a catbird seat position for a presidential run to keep a "not establishment" vibe going.
Regardless, what I've been seeing in the last couple of weeks sure does seem like there might be a Trump PR machine behind the scenes to get positive PR out there on her positions and how she would be just as anti-establishment as Trump. Plus for the younger voters that don't like Trump, she might be seen as the path to someone they want in 2028.
Anyway, the recent "Tulsi blitz" has me curious. Also, I have a really crappy history about being right about political stuff, so there's a good chance that I'm wrong here.
