The Lone Good News About the Upcoming Debate: Gabbard Will Be Back on Stage
NRO ^ | October 4, 2019 | Jim Geraghty

Posted on 10/04/2019 10:43:15 PM PDT by rintintin

The upcoming twelve-candidate Democratic presidential primary debate is probably going to be another mess, but one highlight will be the return of Tulsi Gabbard to the stage — good news not just for Michael Brendan Dougherty, but for everyone who wants to see an actual debate. In a series of prime-time meetings that have included a lot of repetitive platitudes and all-too-convenient anecdotes about an American everyman that candidates met on the trail, one of the few genuine bits of drama comes from the question of who Gabbard will go after and why.

The Hawaii congresswoman’s debate performances haven’t done much to break her out of the asterisk category, but boy, can she dissect an opponent’s record in a devastating fashion. You could argue that Gabbard more than anyone else triggered the slide of Kamala Harris since the second debate.

Gabbard’s not any better than the rest of the clown show. She just wraps herself in the flag.

Tulsi and Trump are the only politicians who question the uniparty’s policy of perpetual war in the Middle East

And since that's my #1 issue, that's why I like 'em both.

+1

But most do not have the depth of knowledge you have, alas!

There is nothing good about Tulsi Gabbard. The very fact that she’s in the Marxocrat camp should be an immediate disqualifier and a red flag that she either doesn’t know what the hell she’s doing or she’s evil at her core. No thanks!

You're missing the point. Tulsi is not radical Left. Her very presence on the stage splits the Democrats, between moderates and radicals.

Why she is being worshiped by many on this forum, I do not know. What I do know is, that at the end of the day she is still a Democrat and she will do as Democrats do.

No more presidents from Hawaii.

The first one was horrible.

The only reason to be pleased about Gabbard’s participation is that she will sow dissention in the foreign policy debate.

Other than that, she is just as delusional as the rest of the insane midgets.

I’ll be looking forward to her sinking her claws into Lizzy Warren.

I'd tune in to see that also.

Tulsi has plenty of bat-guano crazy ideas. But the fact is, 1 year from now, it is down to 2 people who will be president. And the fact is, millions of people are going to vote for somebody that do not share some or all of my ideas and values. I'd rather have one of those voting choices be somebody I share SOME ideas and values with, than somebody I share NO ideas and values with.

Do I want Tulsi to be the next president? No. But it is a HELL NO for anybody else on the D side.

Thank you.

She’s a democRAT, therfore she’s a lefist.

Leftists lie. All the time. About everything.

Even when they’re talking about imposing some form of tyranny, they’re lying by omission. What they really plan to do is worse than what they’re saying.

“The Lone Good News About the Upcoming Debate: Gabbard Will Be Back on Stage”

What’s the good news? She’s a democRAT and that says it all. I will admit to her being the best looking on the stage.

“I’ll be looking forward to her sinking her claws into Lizzy Warren.”

That indeed might make the idiotfest watchable.

Ever hear of a bizarre collective creature known as a Rat King? It's a collection of RATs stuck together by their tails that has to move as one. I can't say I'm anything close to worshiping her, but it is nice to see a Rat that has got her tail free of the collective mob.

People should not get that excited about Tulsi Gabbard. And I don't know that much about her.

First, I doubt she will be in it at the end.

Second, the only reason she is in it at all is because she is a radical liberal. If she preaches common sense on such things as border security, that doesn't mean she believes it. As a liberal Democrat she knows without importing many many poor uneducated people and making them voters, the Democratic Party is moribund.

She’s the definition of “good from far. Far from good.”

She sold out when it matters—she is now part of the Trump impeachment lynch mob.
