Gabbard is certainly no conservative, however defined. But we should keep in mind that coalition-building is a thing, and Reagan brought together disparate groups under a larger umbrella who otherwise agreed on nothing. Given what we're facing, casting a wide net is good strategy, and if Gabbard gives a speech it will not signal the transformation of the party agenda, but highlight the broad appeal of Trump's message, and show people all over the country that differences can be set aside to focus on the most pressing issues.
I'm for it.
