OK this will make you laugh so hard your side will hurt: Tulsi Gabbard weighing 2020 POTUS

Tulsi Gabbard weighing 2020 presidential bid

Rania Batrice, an adviser to the progressive congresswoman and deputy campaign manager on Bernie Sanders’ 2016 presidential campaign, has been putting out feelers for digital and speechwriting staff for Gabbard. One person approached about the positions say that 2020 wasn’t mentioned explicitly, but it was heavily implied.

“I think everybody is focused on 2018, but we will see what happens after that,” Batrice said in an interview. “Someone like Tulsi, with her experience, is an important voice in the party and the country.”

Top aides to Gabbard did not respond to multiple requests for comment.

I’m in pain but it’s not from laughter. I just see trouble in every direction (aka Trump fatigue).

Stick to surfing and running errands for 45, Tulsi.

You and I may not be laughing for quite the same reasons, however.

In lieu of going into detail, let me just assure you that I am amused.
