Tulsi Gabbard is on the verge of being excluded from the next Democratic presidential debate on the basis of criteria that appear increasingly absurd.
Take, instance, her poll standing in New Hampshire, which currently places Gabbard at 3.3% support, according to the RealClearPolitics average as of Aug. 20. One might suspect that such a figure would merit inclusion in the upcoming debates -- especially considering she’s ahead of several candidates who have already been granted entry, including Cory Booker, Amy Klobuchar, Beto O’Rourke, and Andrew Yang. But the Democratic National Committee has decreed that the polls constituting this average are not sufficiently “qualifying.”
What makes a poll “qualifying” in the eyes of the DNC? The answer is conspicuously inscrutable.

it’s the same dnc that screwed dusty old geezer bernie saunders out of the nomination last time.
She’s psychic, shouldn’t she have already known this?“
Are u talking about Tulsi, or Williamson?
It’s a sad fact about the Democratic party that the relatively (emphasis) sane candidates (Gabbard, Delaney) are not being taken seriously while those with wacko ideas like Sanders, Harris and Buttigieg are.
She’s not white though, she’s Hawaiian.
MAJ Gabbard, ARNG, released a vid of her in dress blues announcing she was going on two weeks annual training. I still see Hatch Act issues here.
She was trying to “otherize” the barking moonbats in the lineup as in, “Hey, I don’t hate the military like those nutjobs, because I’m normal & patriotic.”
Sorry, ma’am, but as a former Guardsman, I’m not buying. You’re just as big a gungrabber as the rest of them. In my time in the military I met lots of field grade officers who thought civilians shouldn’t have guns.
Gabbard has been too harsh not only on Kamala “Knee Pads” Harris, but she is also threatening Obama’s legacy, with all the talk about how Obama screwed up the middle east with his involvement in all of the civil wars over there!
The only thing left for her to say, because the media REFUSES to say it, is that Obama got the U.S. into more wars in his 8 years than W. Bush did in his 8 years! And for Slow Joe, that is both the TRUTH and FACTS!
She should go back to being a Republican (which I think she was originally).
Although liberal, she is too conservative.; also, they don’t want her attacks to sully whomever the DND is secretly maneuvering to get the nomination. They saw what she did to Harria. It’s just part of “stacking the deck.”
They had better not exclude her! There will be more hell over it than a little bit.

Gabbard was raised in a multicultural and multireligious household. Her father is of Samoan and European ancestry and an active lector at his Catholic church. Her mother, who was born in Decatur, Indiana, is of German descent and a practicing Hindu.

This time I don’t think the dnc will be able to get away with all their manipulations.
well either way she qualifies as a “woman of color” so she normally would get the red carpet from these people
“Hoebama”
The relatively same candidates could switch to the Republican party. We need more RINOs. /s
Time will get you. ;)
Creatine, fish oil, Ginko, and meditation can help you some.
Lift weights, take walks, and sleep plenty too.
Is she considered White?
Typically, anyone that has non White heritage calls themselves the non White part.
I assume she would check Pacific Islander if filling out forms...
“That hurt them last election, it may well hurt them again. Gabbard is more electable that most of these freaks”
She should change her party affiliation to Independent and run as an Independent.
Seriously? That is frightening.
She’s half Samoan, lives in an represents Hawaii.
