Suddenly Al’s crazy talk these past several years about Tulsi Gabbard being an inspired choice for Trump’s VP doesn’t sound so crazy. Not only did Trump admit to Laura Ingraham last week she’s on his short list, it was announced Thursday the former Democratic Rep. from Hawaii is going to be hosting a fundraiser for Trump at Mar-a-Lago on March 7. Then at CPAC Friday night, Gabbard offered full-barrel defense of Trump that, as Post Millennium reports, left the audience buzzing about her as VP.

Just four years ago, Tulsi Gabbard was a Democratic candidate for president.

We were going to wait to lay out why she’d be a perfect choice for Trump, but now that others are picking up on the idea, we might as well lay it out now.

First, let’s start with the obvious. The Presidential Bearing

Donald Trump himself says the first thing he’s looking for is someone he thinks would be a good president. Gabbard is strong, smart, savvy, a fierce defender of this country, a vet, and has the bearing and gravitas to sit behind the Resolute Desk. Can you imagine her delivering an important address to the nation, standing strong at a gathering of international leaders, and saluting the soldiers at the bottom of Air Force One?
