The shabby treatment accorded to Tulsi Gabbard by the DNC marks how afraid the establishment of that party is to anyone who challenges key parts of its orthodoxy. Despite exceeding the threshold for individual donations, and 4 poll results above 2%, she was excluded from the debate stage in Houston this week on the flimsy pretext that there was something wrong with some of her polls, so the DNC would not recognize them. The exact criteria for recognizing a poll remains unstated by the Democrats.
She unloaded on the DNC yesterday:
But even more importantly, on Sunday she came out against late term abortion, heresy for a national Democrat, so enthralled to the abortion fanatics is the party. Kylie Zempel reported it on The Federalist:
2020 Democratic presidential contender and Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard said she opposes third-trimester abortions during a conversation Sunday with Dave Rubin on his YouTube talk show “The Rubin Report.”
Rubin asked Gabbard about her stance on abortion, taking a particular interest in the pro-choice congresswoman’s perspective since she used to be pro-life, while Rubin has inversely evolved in his beliefs.
“How did you evolve on this?” Rubin asked.
“Really just in understanding the role of government,” Gabbard replied, describing her position as “more libertarian.”
“Government really shouldn’t be in that place of dictating to a woman the choice that she should make.” Gabbard continued, “I think that there should be some restrictions, though.”
The presidential candidate said she would not personally choose to abort, but said, “I don’t believe that I should be telling anybody else the kinds of decisions that they should make for themselves or for their family. … A woman should have the right to choose.”

This would be a serious wild card.
If the democrat nominee is anyone but Biden, Tulsi would threaten to take a significant block of moderates from the democrat voting block versus the hard left socialist message. So then the question would be, how much of a notch could she carve from Trump’s block?
She’ll run in 2024 as a Dim.
On a “I told you so” platform.
Independent run? Perhaps. That would make her a spoiler and almost certainly assure a Trump second term.
By 2024 the Democrat Party will have become that much more radical and won’t have any use for her.
Tulsi Gabbard is the only sane one in the bunch. The Devil himself controls the Democrats.
She put her stock in the white liberal Democratic party. She will behave.
That’s why she’s getting shade from the Dems. She’s off script.
Maybe she should switch parties.
True. The rest are really insane Moonbats.
A Rat would say anything to get elected. I don’t trust her just because she’s hot. Her cabinet and staff would be hardcore leftist, we all know that. Even Trump has/had hardcore leftists working for his administration. I’d rather have the worst Marxist imaginable just to get it on.
She is lining up to be a “dark horse” in 2020.
Might even work.
Sorry but Tulsi is an adult an chose her path. Anyone who embraces the label “Democrat” is morally flawed and can never be trusted by decent people.
Doesn’t matter what she thinks. If she was elected, her Administration would be full of Abortion-Loving Rats.
You’re right.
It is very disturbing that so many people cannot see the Dems for what they are: Evil.
She’s positioning herself as a sane Democrat. She has that lane to herself.
2% is 2%, not a good jumping off point for an independent run.
I think she’s preparing to be the leader of something that comes after the Democratic Party.
The Democratic Party basically isn’t anything more than a legacy fundraising/media operation at this point. All their constituencies hate each other and have no common ground. Their leadership is flat-out crazy, and they got that way because anyone remotely sane gets filtered out before rising to a position of influence.
It doesn’t matter, the folks in the Cabinet would pretty much be the same regardless of which Rat it is.
Exactly.
Yep, they’re utterly insane.
