:Valid point, but Gabbard has been more effective in 2019 in espousing certain conservative positions with swing voters than the several of the media types on the list have been.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] ([[User talk:Aschlafly|talk]]) 21:24, 25 December 2019 (EST)

::OK, but I still strongly think she should be placed near the bottom of the list -- we removed Boris Johnson because he's not actually a conservative and replaced his entry with Brexit voters, who are more conservative as a whole. Gabbard is just as liberal, if not more so, as Johnson, based on her positions on immigration, globalism, abortion, and LGBT. And earlier this year, she apologized for once opposing homosexuality: [https://www.rollcall.com/news/campaigns/tulsi-gabbard-apologizes-for-past-anti-gay-activism-as-she-prepares-for-2020-race] A strong conservative wouldn't have done so, and Gabbard doesn't consider herself a conservative or as being on the Right. --[[User:1990'sguy|1990'sguy]] ([[User talk:1990'sguy|talk]]) 20:14, 26 December 2019 (EST)

== Jair Bolsonaro ==
I think Bolsonaro has been a good president overall, but I have been disappointed with him on several issues. For example, he retreated from his campaign promise to withdraw from the Paris climate agreement.[https://www.reuters.com/article/us-brazil-election/brazils-bolsonaro-scraps-pledge-to-quit-paris-climate-deal-idUSKCN1MZ1DB] More importantly, he completely U-turned on his opposition to China's communist government and now welcomes increased investment by the country ([https://apnews.com/e99b67b41fe8478a9e513d39f2168a5a 1],[https://www.wsj.com/articles/brazil-deepens-china-ties-in-about-face-11573772734 2],[https://www.breitbart.com/national-security/2019/11/14/bolsonaro-expands-free-trade-china-threatening-brazilian-industry/ 3],[https://www.theamericanconservative.com/articles/even-latin-americas-trump-is-kowtowing-to-the-chinese/ 4]). I don't think he's done much to push back against globalism in Brazil's foreign policy.
Overall, I think he's been good because of his positions on abortion, homosexuality, gun rights, and his support for Christians in Brazil, but I think he's been disappointing on the issues mentioned above and less bold than I think he could have been. Thus, I don't think he should be in the top two this year. --[[User:1990'sguy|1990'sguy]] ([[User talk:1990'sguy|talk]]) 20:25, 26 December 2019 (EST)
