Gabbard rules out independent bid if she loses 2020 Democratic nomination (from 08/29/2019)
The Hill ^ | 08/29/19 | Morgan Gstalter

“I've ruled that out,” Gabbard said on CNN when asked about a possible third-party campaign. “I’m going to continue to focus on moving our campaign forward, continuing this grass-roots campaign, continuing to deliver our message to the American people.”

Neera Tanden, president of the left-leaning Center for American Progress, predicted in a July tweet that Gabbard would run as a Green Party candidate “to help Trump win.”

Nice catch. We don’t have to trust Mrs. Gabbard in order acknowledge that she of the low single digits is oddly getting singled out on specious charges.

Mrs. Clinton (and The Hill) are starting to sound like the left’s characterization of Birchers, only substitute “Russians” for “International Bankers”.

The only people that a few Russian bots would influence are those who trust Nigerian princes to entrust vast amounts of wealth, and e-mailed solicitations for Toenail Fungus removal.

RUSSIANS! RUSSIAN AGENTS! (just ignore me selling 3.5 billion dollars worth of nuclear material to Russia and the millions they donated to the Clinton Foundation... Besides, most of the witnesses are going to commit suicide.)

Still think the best part was calling Jill Stein a Russian agent... I’ve been trying to make sure all the liberals in the area pay attention to this outbreak of Russian influence, apparently entirely focused on preventing the already paid for Hillary from winning anything...

Surprise, surprise. It looks like B-J’s bitter old spouse is wrong again about a fellow-Leftist. First time since she off-ed Bernie from winning the nomination? ... Probably not.

Too bad.
She’d draw heavily from the more conservative wing of the Democrat party.

A Buttplug/Gabbard ticket would have the best shot IMO. Good thing it won’t happen.

Too bad she’s a Dem and a Hindu. She’s the best looking one of that motley crew.

She may not be a Russian asset but has been known to associate with communists.

Look no matter, she is not a secret Russian agent.

I’m no a big fan of any of them, but at least she doesn’t have crazy written all over her. Idiot socialist, sure, but not crazy.

The others are just over the line nuts.

If the Demarrhoids were smart, she would be the nominee. But it seems everyone has to wait their turn.

Her dad, a conservative, changed from R to D because in the Hawaii senate the Ds hold a supermajority and the only way he could get anything done was to become one.

Tulsi should switch parties.

Pretty fair assessment.

She’s still a young woman, and it’s not impossible she might acquire some wisdom in the coming years. We need two functional parties, not the commie party and the coward party like we have today.

Time for her to reconsider, now that the Hildabeast has attacked & defamed her.

I would welcome a party similar but at the same time different than the Republican Party. That’s the ideal. Each party could be pro U. S., but want to go about doing the right thing in a different way. In theory it would be healthy situation if we could vote for one party some of the time, and the other at other times.

As it is now, we have crazy vs lazy. Neither party is worth their salt. We get led around by the nose just like the minorities do.

Trump is the first guy to live up to Conservatism.

We vote for the Republicans and they don’t do squat for us.

And yet we stay on the plantation, and laugh at the folks on the other side who do the right thing.

Take a good long look at Trump. He is what a politician should look like (by his actions that is).

He’s the one guy I know of who not only knows Conservative policy, but is living it after being elected.

Do the Democrats do that? No. Do the Republicans in general? No.

129 Republicans voted to take Trump to task over his withdrawel of 26 troops from Kurd Territory.

26! Rush revealed that today.

So now Trump is some genocidal maniac to many folks on our side.

It’s hard to fathom how idiotic folks can be.
