Clinton suggests Russia grooming Gabbard to run as third-party 2020 candidate
The Hill ^ | 10/18/19 | Max Greenwood

Hillary Clinton appeared to suggest that Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-Hawaii) is the “favorite of the Russians” to win the 2020 presidential election and is being groomed by Moscow to run as a third-party candidate against the eventual Democratic nominee.

In an interview on the podcast “Campaign HQ,” Clinton warned that the Russian government was poised to once again meddle in the U.S. presidential election through online disinformation efforts and by encouraging a third-party challenger to stir chaos in the contest.

Indeed, the Russians already have their “eye on somebody who’s currently in the Democratic primary and are grooming her to be the third-party candidate,” she said, in an apparent reference to Gabbard.

“She’s the favorite of the Russians. They have a bunch of sites and bots and other ways of supporting her, so far,” Clinton told David Plouffe, the podcast’s host and the campaign manager for former President Barack Obama’s 2008 campaign.

“And that’s assuming Jill Stein will give it up, which she might not because she’s also a Russian asset,” Clinton added, referring to the 2016 Green Party presidential candidate.

It is difficult to separate satire from real reporting.

I will assume this is satire for now even if real. Sort of like fake but true.

Dems are so...primitive-tribal. If they do not like someone they make crazy, left field accusations. Like Salem in colonial days.

Russia? Is Russia all that witch can think about?

Is there nothing that these wily Russians cannot do? The idiotic leftist lemmings believe that the Russians are the ugly babies resulting from a shag orgy of the Men in Black and the Illuminati.

Left over from the Cold war era. They were the tool to scare the peons with for 30 years.

That woman is nuts. We should get down on our knees and thank God that she is not the president.

In the book Shattered, Hillary’s campaign made up the Russian hoax and she’s simply doing it again. Horrid woman!

"Enough with the damn Russians. The Chinese are the enemy."

And the Dems rarely if ever criticize China. Just this week we saw the leftist NBA kow-tow to the Chinese, and many corporations are totally in bed with the Chinese. Our universities happily train thousands of Chinese in the knowledge they are using to destroy us. None dare call it treason.

Hillary looks at Gabbard as a threat if she runs. This tells me more than anything, Hillary is going to try to get the nomination.

Tulsi has refused to be absorbed so she must be marginalized.

You worked with the Russians on a phony dossier that your campaign paid for on Donald Trump.

Am I mistaken isn’t Tulsi Gabbard supposed to be the big female warrior. She better come out firing or that myth will be shot to hell.

The only reason Hildebeest would make this assertion is that she sees Gabbard as the ONLY Dem candidate that could impede her path to another nomination.

She’s running, folks. Take it to the bank

Is it now a primary goal of the international left to use the US military (a military no longer primarily oriented towards protecting America’s interests) as the iron fist of globalism?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Been that way for 30 years through Bush-Clinton-Bush-Obama.

Putin/Russia lives rent-free in the minds of the Clinton’s. Nothing short of a frontal lobotomy is going to get them to move out either.

The Democrats need an external party to play the scapegoat, and the Russians are both plausible, and removed to great enough distance, to serve in that capacity.

It is of no small importance that Herself, along with much of the ultra-left Democrat, that they have this fixation on Russia. Russian may not be Communist any more, but they are still Russians, and they flirt constantly with socialistic programs. This inspires and provides a menu for the ultra-left to follow in this country, along with adding their own special ingredients to make the stew “so it will work, finally, THIS time”.
