Probably a staged event, yes.

Still, Which other Dem candidate could pull it off? Warren, Buttiboy? Kobucher? could you see any of them doing even a single push-up?

Come on. He obviously did it as a joke.

“But I would take most people to a push-up challenge.”

Her car must be enormous. I could only take 4 or 5 people to anything, and even 4 + me would not be very comfortable. In related news for CNN, it turns that that using spell-check and proofreading are not the same thing!

Ha, ha, yes. It reminds me of the tank fiasco with Dukakis. Democrats like to prove they’re toughness, even though everything they say is a lie.

Every single one of those was a no-rep. Sorry.

“I see an ulterior motive in everything the left does. They don’t have lighthearted moments. Everything has to reinforce their twisted ideals.”

There are about 64 million of us who agree with you.

Stunt with a person planted in the audience by her campaign staff.

Fake, or as we say here in Hawaii “ Shibai”

She’s my Congressional Rep, I’m her constituent

Not appreciated for her ‘work’ her at home.
A well known show-boat

I feel sorry for ya... human beings are still human beings. Just because the Clinton’s staged everything and Obama couldn’t function without a TelePrompter does not mean everyone who disagrees with you stages everything..

Honestly this woman will never be president and honestly her campaign is more of the last curiosity of the primary season...

I would only offer some advice, Never attribute to nephariousness which can easily be attributed to stupidity.

This is the fatal flaw of those with left wing ideologies. They view anything they don’t like as being evil and nepharious..

Don’t be like that

If it wasn’t a set up, I like her spunk, but it doesn’t seem presidential. I would have liked her more if she had just said something like, “Without a doubt I could beat you. But I’m not going to embarrass you.” Do you want your president dared into doing stupid stuff? Just watched the video. It’s only 21 seconds long so they didn’t do many push ups. And Gabbard appears to stop first, then the guy rolls over.

If they can do more than me, I have to buy them dinner and a movie. Dang if I don't always lose.

Relax folks. Relax

There are a bunch of FR posters who become absolutely unhinged at the slightest not-vitriolic comment about this chick.

It's BIZARRE.

It was cute, but he stopped when she was getting wobbly. Was it an example of toxic masculinity to let her win?

Qualifications to be president? I think not (he let her win).
