LOS ANGELES — Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) told an audience in at the Art of Living Foundation center in Los Angeles that she would continue campaigning even though she had not qualified for the next Democratic debate.
“Debate or no debate,” Gabbard vowed, the campaign would move on — “because we know that it is ‘We, the People’ who decide who gets to lead our country.” She cast the decision to cull the debate participants as an attempt by Washington elites to control the election.
Gabbard failed to qualify for the third Democratic Party presidential primary debate in Houston this week because while she had met the Democratic National Committee (DNC) threshold of 130,000 individual donors, she did not reach 2% in enough qualifying polls by August 29. Gabbard, returned to the campaign trail on Aug. 25 after two weeks of annual training with the U.S. Army National Guard.
In the second debate, Gabbard made her mark by taking Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) to task for prosecuting drug offenders as California Attorney General, and for initially opposing a DNA test sought by a death row inmate who wants to prove his innocence. In the first debate, she took Rep. Tim Ryan (D-OH) to task over the issue of Afghanistan, saying that the U.S. needs to withdraw troops from the country after nearly two decades.
Her strong performances won the (non-scientific) Drudge Report debate polls, but apparently did not impress the DNC.

“This woman is nothing less than a prophet, and she’s the only one that has courage to stand up,” he added.
I can't see Biden or Bernie going for the gold, so I think it will be Warren and someone who the Dems believe will balance out Warren for the general population. I can't see any of the other Demons as being Veep quality (i.e. having the ability to draw a big constituency that Warren doesn't already attract).
Why is she wearing Hillary Garanimals?
Tulsi is a leftist. Never forget her policy positions on immigration, health care, abortion, etc.
And she’s a Hindi. Don’t think that will fly in flyover country.
Dude in the T-shirt is checking out her backside...
and the only Democrat candidate I have any interest in seeing naked.
Yessss Sirrr!!!!
Tulsi is running ads reciting the Pledge of Allegiance, including the phrase ‘under God’. Today’s Democrat mainstream is far too Leftist to ever forgive her such a crime committed these days.
She should run as an independent then. She would take away some votes from the democrats but I can’t see any republican voting for her.
What’s up with the guy on the right with the glasses, he is crying, lol

This is her punishment for kneecapping their designated Magic Negro.
I am ready to contribute to her 3rd-party run!
I do see her as a VP choice. The rest of the herd is so far Left they will need some balance. Yes, she is a wacko Leftist, but not as far wacko as the rest of them. I see a male Pres candidate and she would be the female (we all know Leftists vote optics before intelligence) to bring in the women who will vote for any woman.
I think he’s passing gas...
She needs to be paid to run independent.
I won’t vote for her platform but I find her far more palatable than any of the opponents. I would think she could go over well with moderates.
Silly candidate, voter fraud determines who leads our country.
