Should Donald Trump win the presidency at age 78, he will be constitutionally limited to one term. What this means is that anyone invested in a post-Trump Republican Party should have more than just a passing interest in Trump’s selection of a running mate.

Among the smorgasbord of bad options on the veep menu, former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard has reportedly made the short list of possible Trump running mates. The renegade ex-Democrat from Hawaii stands out as perhaps the most plausible choice—even if her selection would spell trouble for both Donald Trump and the conservative movement.

Remember, Gabbard served as a surrogate for democratic socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders, voted for Hillary Clinton in 2016, and endorsed Joe Biden in 2020. As recently as September of 2019, she explained to podcaster Dave Rubin why she is now pro-choice and no longer pro-life.
