After tonight, and I did watch most of it, I think Biden will be out of the running by the end of the year. He did MUCH worse than the “media” is saying. Much worse. It actually wouldn’t surprise me if he did within the month. When is the next debate? That will be the test. If he’s at the next one.
I doubt it. Economy’s to good, unemployment is low, Trump is anything but a racist, and his base ain’t going nowhere. Also, besides screwing with Twitter, he can take the National stage anytime. Oh and open admitted socialism don’t play here yet.
2. Tulsi seems reasonable until she isn't, and then it's all out nuts:
- Tonight in her prepared closing argument claim that Trump is trying to ramp up pressure with Russia and North Korea (thus putting us closer to a nuclear war). Anybody paying the slightest attention to President Trump's foreign policy sees how he's trying to form personal relationships with the rulers of those countries, to extraordinary and very public degrees.
- She actually claimed Trump is aiding Al qaeda, on the very day we killed the bastard Osama Bin Ladin's son - so she lacks political prudence in very visible ways.
- It's a travesty she went from being pro-life to pro-baby-killing. (So few go in that direction.). Trump has been solidly pro-life, and I have to believe that will drive support and turn out, in ways the media doesn't want to admit.
Tulsi is a hotty, that's for sure, and I appreciate her service in the military. But that's it.
Why is it bad for Epstein to rape teens privately but ok for Biden to be caught dozens of times in public cuddling and fondling little girls? What does he do when the cameras are off?
How can he be the front runner in a #metoo world? No left of center person I talk to seems to have seen all the video evidence. No one knows. No one cares.
Agreed. Readers here should look at her “Early life and education,” and at her positions on the “Economy,” “Education,” “Iran,” “Israel,” “Environment,” “Health Care,” “Gun Rights” (anti-Second-Amendment), “LGBT...” and follow the link on “Personal Life.”

She’s a radical lefty.
IF Joe survives the primaries...and he might... he will pick either Harris or Booker as VP
If any dem wins this election, I’ll be going under ground.
Seriously, we won’t survive.
If trump wins they’ll take to the streets. Either way, this put is on the burner and it’s starting to bubble.
Oh please, neither has a chance of going anywhere.
At least Biden is #1 trending on Twitter:
Joe Biden faces criticism for onstage greeting with Kamala Harris
During night two of the second Democratic debates, Joe Biden shook hands with Kamala Harris and said: “Go easy on me, kid.
MSM will not joke about the Congresswoman as they did Palin... Republican , prolife ya know.
ALOHA Barbie, anyone?
It's not really a deal if only one side abides by it.
Biden is toast and Gabbard is an extreme leftist.
Based on their performance these last two nights, the ticket could be Gabbard/Williamson.
Of course, no one here would vote for them.
But swing voters or independents might.
Tulsi is my Congress critter . Trust me : DO NOT VOTE FOR HER . No way....
Gabbard is one of the biggest hypocrites in the field. Maybe the biggest.
She use to be PRO LIFE and PRO REAL MARRIAGE. She decided to run for office as a democrat and presto became a baby killer and now says homosexual “marriage” is fine. And of course she’s apologized to her fellow democrats for ever being a normal person with common sense.

LGBT rights
Edit
Gabbard opposed civil unions and same-sex marriage in the late 1990s and early 2000s, when she was a teenager and in her early twenties.[212][213] She worked with her father’s PAC, The Alliance for Traditional Marriage, to pass a constitutional amendment “to protect traditional marriage”. Campaigning for her first political office a few years later, she cited her experience with her state senator father’s political action committee, which opposed pro-LGBT lawmakers and laws and promoted conversion therapy.[214][215] The Alliance for Traditional Marriage spent more than $100,000 opposing LGBT rights.[62] In her campaign for the Hawaii legislature in 2002, she vowed to “pass a constitutional amendment to protect traditional marriage.”[216][217]
As a Hawaii state legislator in 2004, Gabbard argued against civil unions, saying, “To try to act as if there is a difference between ‘civil unions’ and same-sex marriage is dishonest, cowardly and extremely disrespectful to the people of Hawaii who have already made overwhelmingly clear our position on this issue... As Democrats we should be representing the views of the people, not a small number of homosexual extremists.”[212] She opposed Hawaii House Bill 1024, which would have established legal parity between same-sex couples in civil unions and married straight couples, and led a protest against the bill outside the room where the House Judiciary Committee held the hearing.[218] The same year she expressed her opposition to Hawaii undertaking research on LGBT students, arguing that it would be a violation of their privacy and that “many parents would see the study as an indirect attempt by government to encourage young people to question their sexual orientation”.[219][220] She also disputed that Hawaii schools were rampant with anti-gay discrimination.[219]
In 2012 Gabbard said that she believed same-sex marriage should be legalized throughout the United States[221] and apologized for her prior anti-LGBT stance. She has since worked to advance LGBT rights.[222] Gabbard credited her tours of duty in the Middle East for her change in views.[212][223] She co-sponsored The Equality Act. The Human Rights Campaign gave her a score of 100 for her votes during the 115th Congress, with scores of 88 and 92 for the previous two sessions, respectively.[224] She has opposed both the Defense of Marriage Act and a proposed state constitutional amendment to define marriage as between a woman and a man.[225] In June 2015 she issued a statement supporting Obergefell v. Hodges, the Supreme Court ruling that same-sex marriage bans are unconstitutional, arguing that the United States was not a theocracy.[226][227][228]
After launching her presidential campaign in January 2019, Gabbard again apologized for her past anti-LGBT rights positions and statements, saying that her views had changed as her experience outside of a socially conservative home grew.[229]
Reproductive rights and abortion
Gabbard supports reproductive rights,[232] including federal funding for abortion.[233] She opposed abortion earlier in her career, but changed her mind.[234][129][1
