Gabbard Victimized by DNC's Dubious Debate Criteria
Real Clear Politics ^ | Aug 23 2019 | Michael Tracey

Tulsi Gabbard is on the verge of being excluded from the next Democratic presidential debate on the basis of criteria that appear increasingly absurd.

Take, instance, her poll standing in New Hampshire, which currently places Gabbard at 3.3% support, according to the RealClearPolitics average as of Aug. 20. One might suspect that such a figure would merit inclusion in the upcoming debates -- especially considering she’s ahead of several candidates who have already been granted entry, including Cory Booker, Amy Klobuchar, Beto O’Rourke, and Andrew Yang. But the Democratic National Committee has decreed that the polls constituting this average are not sufficiently “qualifying.”

Gabbard being punished because she took on Willie Brown’s girlfriend and left her bruised and battered. Kamala smacked around so hard, Clinton told her she better put some ice on it.

She took two weeks off of campaigning for her joint exercise.

She’s being punished for daring to challenge The Chosen One.

Tulsi committed the unforgivable sin of being the white girl who took out the mulatto.

Tulsi’s problem is breaking a foot off in Kamala’s butt. Can’t have that happening again.

The DNC doesn’t like it when you tell the truth about one of their candidates.

Assange is in jail.

Unlike the criminals that killed Seth Rich.

I’m shocked that Beto is still in.

The good news is that this makes the D’s just look more petty. And thanks to the internet, more people are paying attention. The day of the criminally misinformed swing voter are coming to an end.
