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.
Maybe she should switch parties.
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.
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.
In other words, a typical liberal operation.
If she was black, the left and the media would be smothering her with love. Liberals aren’t as friendly to certain minorities. Harvard is a good example.
“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.”
Silly Girl... there is NOTHING "libertarian" about the modern Democratic party... let alone that you cannot allow ones liberty to be the justification for another's oppression. Claiming a woman's "liberty" allows her to oppress another's fundamental right to life, is nothing but a complete bastardization of the very concept of liberty. But that's a fundamental problem with the entire "libertarian" stand on Abortion in the first place. Me thinks her voting has more to do with desiring to keep her seat from liberal HI, then it does her personal beliefs.... I think maybe she just wanted a career in politics, so she knows what she has to do being from Hawaii... she no hard core conservative, but she is clearly not in the mainstream of her party either.
She has PLENTY of time...so she’s prepping for 2024.
She knows that she can’t beat the current crowd of braying Leftists - when one or a few go down, their voters go to the other ones.
She knows that she cannot beat Trump, even if she somehow got the Dem nomination.
But, I imagine her reasoning, when Trump so trounces the Leftist jackwagon of 2020 so badly that it forces the Dem Party to completely reassess how they approach both issues and campaigning, the stage will be set for a moderate with a strong national security background to pull in a lot of fence-sitters. That she’s a she isn’t going to be a negative for her (not unless she gets a blood transfusion or a marrow donation from the Witch of Chappaqua).
There is precedent for this - Jimmy Carter, a decided moderate (or so he presented himself), picked up the shattered pieces of the Dem Party after Nixon completely schlonged the Leftist McGovern.
What scares me about this is that we usually switch parties in the Presidency every 8 years, and ANY Dem that is elected - no matter how genuinely moderate - will bring along an entire cadre of Leftists for the Cabinet and other high level positions, and will also fill the courts with uber-activist judges - because that is about 98% of the Dem Party and their lobbyists.
Tulsi’s got Thomas Lifson & Kylie Zempel writing about her, & Dave Rubin is interviewing her.
She’s playing the tired old, “I personally don’t favor baby killing, but who am I to judge babykillers?” trope.
Plus, she’s tossing around the L-word: libertarian.
Sounds like a third party strategy.
Does she have money backing her?
Abortion kills a person whether it is the morning after or late term. There is no difference whatsoever. Arguments over whether there is a heartbeat or if there’s pain involved are evil
She’s no pro life champion
I don’t trust her. She thinks she is hot sh*t and will say anything to get elected and women fidiots would flock to her. She is very dangerous and would only have a Feminist administration
