Tulsi Gabbard elevated in Iowa by Clinton spat

WEST BRANCH, Iowa (AP) — Hillary Clinton's suggestion this past week that Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard is being "groomed" by Russians to act as a spoiler in the 2020 race may have had the opposite effect of what the 2016 Democratic presidential nominee intended: It's elevated Gabbard's candidacy and may have inspired even more ardent interest in her campaign among Clinton critics.

On Saturday, Gabbard found fans among the many Clinton skeptics across Iowa, where Clinton barely won the 2016 Democratic caucuses against Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders.

"What is this horrible thing that Hillary said about you?" one person asked Gabbard at a house party in West Branch.

Gabbard responded that "it revealed the truth that I have been experiencing for a long time now — which is that, because I have been trying to bring about an end to our country's long-held foreign policy of waging one regime-change war after the next . I am labeled as a traitor."

I like the way she conducts herself and her way of expressing herself.
But I did read that she supported and voted for Bernie last time around.

Omg...dont fall for this. Clinton is not running. Gabbard was always the candidate. This is a pplitical strategy to make her look centrist. It’s why they got her back in the last debate. They know far left candidate cant win. So here is an anti trump anti corruption pretty female who will do whatever the swamp wants her to.

*** I did read that she supported and voted for Bernie last time around. ***

I would’ve voted for Bernie or stayed home before voting for Evan McMullin like Lindsey Graham did.

She's a good fit for one town in Iowa, Fairfield. A nice community, but probably the least typical Iowans in existence.

Gabbard resigns from DNC to endorse Bernie Sanders (from February 2016)

“She does not belong in the Democrat Party”

Don’t be fooled by Gabbard’s words.. she’s only slightly to the right of the nutball crowd in that party.

[”Although Russian interest in Gabbard is apparent, Clinton produced no evidence that Moscow is grooming or directly backing the congresswoman.”]

How does the author make such an assertion, that Russian interest is apparent?

She a dyed in the wool Sanders type Democrat Fascist in everything but this ONE issue.

Sure, she is hot but she also a dangerous lunatic on every single issue but 1.
Really your going to worship her despite her supporting a “medicare of all” Nationalized Health care System?

We must stand up against big pharma and insurance companies who extort those who are sick, who put their profits above the health of our people. We must fight to ensure that every American gets the quality healthcare they need, through Medicare for Al

The Clintons never do anything that doesn’t benefit them. If Hillary isn’t running, why would she want to make Tulsi look good?

No she doesn't. She is a very attractive candidate. In fact, among the clowns in that show she would probably fare better against Trump then any of the others.

Maybe she could switch parties, Trump did.

Yes, she does belong in the democrat party. Instead, The rest of the presidential hopefuls running as democrats belong in the communist party.

What does the phrase "Russian interest is apparent" even mean? The Russians were intensely interested in Hitler, they didn't support his election.

Clinton spat , philippa wrote: The Clintons never do anything that doesn’t benefit them. If Hillary isn’t running, why would she want to make Tulsi look good?/

because she appeals more to nevertrumpers, swing voters and stupid conservatives. And she will institute or let a leftist agenda continue.
