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."

Not saying Clinton is running, but there is no way she took a public bitch smack for Tulsi. Absolutely no way.

Based on her policies, yes she does belong to the rat party.

She may be saner than the rest, but a rat is a rat.

There’s something about these rat women that get the love bug going in some FReepers. If Gabbard had a hot dance video (like AOC), it would be posted often.

Considering Jane Fonda was hot as a kid, funny some of her workout videos haven’t been posted as well.

hillary showed extremely bad analytical skills and judgements both as Sec’y of State (remember “what difference does it make?”) and in her campaign. It just might be that the attack on Tulsi was another really, really bad thing to do.

No one here loves her.
No one here is going to vote for her.
A bunch of guys want to have sex with her.
It’s that simple.

she’s only slightly to the right of the nutball crowd in that party.

Yes, but where do you put, on a political spectrum, those war-mongering spineless blobs of self-dealing protoplasm that we refer to as RINOs.

It’s exactly the place for her. Look at her policy positions.

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

That headline had me rattling my head yesterday until I researched it. Not sure if the headline was intentional, but it is DECEPTIVE. All Gabbard did was resign from the leadership of the Democrat Party (so she could openly endorse Bernie), but she never resigned her party affiliation.

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

In fact, a lot of Trump voters were former Bernie supporters in 2016. They just hated Hillary.

“Not saying Clinton is running, but there is no way she took a public bitch smack for Tulsi. Absolutely no way.”

I agree. She has NEVER had to deal with a legitimate Democrat attacking her like that (and using the term ‘rot’, LOL). If Skunk Cabbage was planning to run again, which I’m convinced is the case, she picked the wrong fight and she may well have just taken a knock-out hit.

There was NO WAY she secretly conspired with Tulsi to allow that retort, and, in fact, I don’t believe that Tulsi wants anything to do with her, given Tulsi’s background.

Thank you for the clarification. Now I’m definitely voting for the socialist, baby killer.

Amazing what a pretty face can do to a man’s principles.

I agree. This is not part of some elaborate plan. Hillary's enormous ego would never allow her to sit there and take the kind of shots she took from Tulsi the other day. There's a much simpler explanation: Hillary is nuts.

Tulsi will need to hire a food taster, always, always use the auto-start button on the car fob-, and WIDELY publish to every one everywhere that you’re definitely not suicidal!!

I hear you, but I just warn those thinking Gabbard is some kind of ”moderate,” because she isn’t level close.

You’re welcome, but ALWAYS REVIEW before posting:

“Now I’m definitely voting for the socialist, baby killer.”

Nope, I don’t think you meant that. A couple of years ago I skipped a word in a posting and it came off as a death threat against Obama. I had to get that one removed!
