Tucker Carlson interviews his friend Tulsi Gabbard. Those who remember Tucker Carlson’s term on Fox News will remember Gabbard as a frequent guest of his on the show. Within this interview, it is easy to spot the “as you well know” aspect to the length and depth of their friendship.
Tulsi Gabbard was former Vice-Chair of the DNC and a strong supporter and advocate for Bernie Sanders in the 2016 democrat presidential primary. Within the interview Tucker emphasizes the possibility of Gabbard as a selection for a Donald Trump running mate. In fact, the topic is so frequent within the interview, it appears the primary purpose of the interview itself is to strengthen Gabbard as a VP possibility.
The interview has the feeling of intent within it; a feeling of script; perhaps, a feeling of a pantomime playing out in the form of an interview. The emphasis on Gabbard’s value is shaped in the interview narrative that ‘foreign policy’ would be her benefit to President Trump. However, as noted by the experience of the first term of President Trump, and as noted within the outcomes of that term, Trump’s foreign policy is quite good with him at the helm of it.
As a possible policy emissary, or deputy in-line cabinet member, Tulsi Gabbard has some value. [Deputy, not Primary] However, as a Vice-President the ‘trust factor’ must remain the most important element to the success of term two. As a result, from my perspective, Tulsi “Bernie” Gabbard would be a, “nice try Tucker,” but no.

As much as I do appreciate the fact that TG finally left the plantation, even lamenting to my husband that she really needs to (way before she did), the persistent, nagging thought of, could she just be a Trojan horse for us conservatives to accept and at our own peril? My final thought is that she needs to be time tested/vetted, but certainly not while holding the office of the 2nd in command.
