Not so much on Gabbard. Also, I think anything where we are doubling down on something like ( double female / military ) is kinda just pandering for the optics. I’d be for a ticket that looks for a balance of experiences and extertise.

A lot of people were turned off by Hillary being pro-regime change via U.S. military power.

Like it or not, we need to win back the anti-war movement.

Clever Putin has shown us how to be pro-"Regime change" while keeping the death count extremely low and never engaging the military.

Of course, President Obama utilized drone warfare, which also kept deathrcounts low.

Tammy is awesome but Gabard is a DINO. She should just switch parties and be done with it. Another Lieberman.

And I would like to keep Tammy where she is in Illinois for a while. She is needed in the Senate.

Let's win 2018 before we start worrying about 2020.
