Presidential long shot Tulsi Gabbard opted not to back the Democrats' impeachment inquiry into President Trump during a Tuesday interview on CNN. The conversation took place prior to Speaker Pelosi's official announcement, but CNN had already reported what she was going to say during her presser. “Look, my position remains the same. I think that impeachment would be terribly divisive for our already very divided country," Gabbard stated. "I think Congress needs to exercise oversight over the information that’s been leaked. I think that it’s important that this transcript is released to Congress so that Congress can do its job. But I think the question of impeachment really would further tear apart an already divided country." The Hawaii Representative repeatedly stated that Democrats should be focused on beating the president at the ballot box instead of through impeachment, going as far as to say that if her 2020 opponents "don’t think they can" beat Trump, "then maybe they shouldn’t be running."

Very politically astute on Tusi’s part. As the field starts to narrow she is positioning herself to be the sane moderate since there is nothing to differentiate the crazy candidates from each other.
She is still a snake.

[Veto!]

Best of the crop of rotten dem candidates.

[Gamecock]

Broken clock and all.

But still:

Formal inquiry? Guess I missed the House vote. When did the House vote to make this a formal inquiry?

[Karma_Sherab]

She looks like she’s a bit “nippy”

[dowcaet]

I agree that she’s saying this to position herself politically not for 2020, but for 2024.

She just wants to stay in office.

[Bonemaker]

She’s very nice eye candy and a vet so I wish she’d make up her mind whether she is a democrat or an American.

[McGruff]

She’s right on this. But wrong on other issues.

[The Great RJ]

One of the few Democrats to have any sense

[JudyinCanada]

No wonder Tucker is so smitten.

[Maris Crane]

She’s right on this. But wrong on other issues.

You sure that isn’t Padma Lakshmi?

[Menehune56]

I’m thinking the rat leadership are of a mind to let the socialist wing of the party shoot its wad in 2020 to clear the decks for an electable candidate in 2024.

[jospehm20]

I was wondering if I missed the vote.

[Kozy]

Guess I can watch PBS or the Cable Network that shows House and Senate votes. They did it. Nancy said formal so that had to have a vote. Nancy would not lie to America. Would she?

[ebshumidors]

That’s not her. That’s some Indian chef.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Whaddya know.

Someone who wants to be the first woman President who actually looks like a woman!
