Iconoclastic Rep. Tulsi Gabbard did the unforgiveable in the eyes of the hidebound Democratic Party establishment: She knocked down one their favorites, Kamala Harris.
...
Now, through the miracle of rule-rigging, the Democratic establishment has maneuvered to exact a price from her: No appearance at the next Democratic debate. No more taking down the next favorite.
...
Isn't Julian Castro polling around something like zero? Maybe he's there for affirmative action purposes, alongside his lockstep extremism.
Two, Google seems to have already done a number on Gabbard, taking down her paid-for campaign ads during the first debate when Internet viewers' interest in her spiked to the highest levels of all the campaign. Google, most of the reporting has neglected to note, is brimming with former Obama administration operatives. Democrats, the pillars, the money, the establishment. Might that suggest some sort of fix in for Gabbard as well? It's pretty obvious something is going on.
...
Right after Tulsi finished the second debate, Kamala Harris really did utterly tumble in the polls. Democratic voters, now aware of her incredibly corrupt record as a prosecutor - endorsing false testimony, keeping people in jail beyond their terms, throwing the impoverished in prison for marijuana crimes while admitting she enjoyed the weed herself -- are avoiding her now like a bad smell. Harris is damaged goods now, and she won't recover
...
Democrats are still the same old Democrats, and up to their old rigging tricks, putting their thumbs down on the scale for the candidates they prefer. They've done it before, against Bernie Sanders, and now they are doing it again to avenge Harris.

You’re correct that the Hatch Act is incorporated in UCMJ; I was in the ARNG when adjutant generals were still elected, and it was flagrantly disregarded.
MAJ Gabbard released a vid of her wearing dress blues & announcing she was off to annual training for two weeks.
If that ain’t politicking in uniform, then I don’t know. It screams, “Look at me! I’m not like those nutbags Beto, Buttplug, and Lizzie!”
I like hot chicks...
Tulsi email:
And Tulsi has racked up over 26 polls at or above the 2% threshold for the third debate. But only two of those polls are deemed “certified” by the DNC’s seemingly arbitrary criteria, which they have not made public.
And get this - many of the uncertified polls are ranked by Real Clear Politics and FiveThirtyEight as more accurate than some DNC “certified” polls. After examining the list of certified and non-certified polls, Michael Tracey wrote in Real Clear Politics, “Tulsi Gabbard is on the verge of being excluded from the next Democratic presidential debate on the basis of criteria that appear increasingly absurd.”
It’s not only about which polls were certified, it’s also the fact that hardly any certified polls have been released at all since the second debate! Tulsi had an amazing performance in the second debate and interest in her spiked across the country as we saw her become the most Googled candidate for the second time running, grassroots donations poured in and volunteers offered their time and energy to our movement. We were counting on the polls to capture that interest and momentum. But they never came.
Only one certified poll came out the week after the debate. As of today, only four of the DNC’s list of sixteen qualifying polling organizations have released any new polls following the second debate in Detroit.
Tulsi expecting the Demonrats to play fair ? She does know what party she joined, right ?
That’s Padma Lakshmi.
At the end of the day, she’s one of them.
I judge folks by the company they keep. She chose them.
No sympathy here.
Interesting discussion after the article.
Damn! I’ve been duped!
she should defect to the top and trump offer her a cabinet position,
Padma is a wee bit older and a bit more ( o )Y( o ) endowed. There is a resemblance, though.
Why would Pres. Trump offer someone with an almost doctrinaire leftist voting record a Cabinet position ?
you mean like members of his family?
She can be his bulldog on democrat nominees. And keep her from running for VP against the boring republican candidate.
You'd think a Google search for “Tulsi Gabbard swim suit” would bring up bonafide images.
Family is one thing (and he should pay those offering left-wing advisement no mind), but this makes zero sense. She disagrees with Trump on probably 99 out of 100 things. Why would you appoint someone to such a position when they’re going to work to undermine or prevent what they’re ordered to do ?
The Dems won’t make her the VP nominee. She’s run afoul of the HI political establishment and they want her gone. It doesn’t matter she’s with them on almost every issue.
long way to the convention
It’s not unusual to find pics of other people when you type in a name on search. I’ve seen that pic before as mistaken for Tulsi on other places.
She’s not part of their pre-approved candidates. They’ll rig it as necessary to get their desired outcome. Just ask Bernie Sanders.
Sitting the vote would help PDJT
