Susan Collins notwithstanding- She is sort of a Democrat’s John Kasich, except far less Republican
- Mitt Romney may be more Republican than her
Below is either bad headline writing or really pathetic. From Townhall:
Why Conservatives Are Urging Tulsi to Become a Republican
Beth Bauman writes at Townhall and is a fine reporter/analyst/editor. If she wrote the headline to the story linked above she either flubbed or revealed a very low politcal bar. The headline does not even match the content as no one mentioned seems to really say that.
Nevertheless we have heard such sentiment about Tulsi Gabbard before and it is as superficial, pathetic and mind-boggling when it comes from serious conservatives. What kind of party with a meaningful conservative political philosophy invites into its ranks (presumably to be used as an example) a pro-abortion, anti-Second Amendment, Bernie supporting (against Hillary), free college education, etc., etc goofball whether or not she serves in the military. Who is next, Alexander Vindman??
To be in any way an authentic Republican (if it means anything) she would have to do a 180 on so much as referenced in the collection of links below. Before that process starts perhaps she ought to resign from the military and apologize to President Donald Trump.
As an officer (currently a Major) in the Hawaii National Guard, her contemptuous remarks about President Trump, her Commander in Chief, would seem to be “conduct unbecoming” (which does not require being in uniform to effectuate a violation). If avoiding the UCMJ simply means wearing a different hat, then a whole lot of the UCMJ is meaningless. Again, check out the links below.
Tulsi Gabbard Is Not A Centrist, No Matter How Much You Like Her .
Tulsi Gabbard’s advocacy for the First Amendment are a means of pushing economically and politically left-wing policy.

Tulsi Gabbard, conservative crush
TURNS OUT TULSI GABBARD IS JUST ANOTHER LEFTWING FRAUD AFTER ALL…
Gabbard’s claim never to have used “hateful rhetoric” against President Trump is not exactly a true statement and is more than a little disingenuous. You see, it was in November 2018 that Ms. Gabbard accused the president of being “Saudi Arabia’s bitch.” In April, she also called him “al-Qaeda’s big brother and protector in Syria,” in a Tweet that was highlighted by Iranian state television. And earlier Tuesday, Ms. Gabbard tweeted: Trump awaits instructions from his Saudi masters. Having our country act as Saudi Arabia’s bitch is not “‘America First.’” . . .
And finally, Ms. Gabbard goes to great pains to point out, at every opportunity, that she is an officer in the U.S. Army National Guard. That said, it is Article 88 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) that prohibits commissioned officers from using “contemptuous words” about the president — whether in uniform or out of uniform. And while Ms. Gabbard might enjoy some leeway from a military court due to the political nature of her job, to say that President Trump has betrayed the military, and to call him a “pimp” and a “bitch,” is likely a violation of the UCMJ.
Tulsi Gabbard is still an abortion radical
