I Can Defeat Trump and the Clinton Doctrine (op-ed by Tulsi Gabbard)

Hillary Clinton emerged recently to claim, with no basis in fact, that I am being “groomed” by the Russian government to undermine America. As a major in the National Guard who served in Iraq—one of the many disastrous regime-change wars Mrs. Clinton championed over her career—I swore an oath to only one authority: the U.S. Constitution.

I’m running for president to undo Mrs. Clinton’s failed legacy. From Iraq to Libya to Syria, her record is replete with foreign-policy catastrophes. It’s a primary reason why I resigned as vice chairman of the Democratic National Committee in 2016 to endorse Bernie Sanders. Mrs. Clinton and the powerful media and political network she built up over decades have never forgiven this slight. The smears have been nonstop ever since.

Hardly a week goes by when I’m not asked a question about how I’m being secretly backed by Russia or other foreign powers—on top of countless other falsehoods intended to destroy my reputation. Those who are indebted to the war machine and the overreaching intelligence agencies, as well as their cheerleaders in the media, are determined to take me down because they know they can’t control me. I’m directly challenging their power

Just curious, a question for FReeper’s who might be in the know ... but wouldn’t the WSJ publishing an “op-ed” from an active candidate amount to a de-facto campaign contribution?

FYI- during her recent Tucker interview, she used her party answer (non-answer) to his question on Plug’s kid. She’s as partisan as the rest of the dnc clown car.

If Hillary offers one of these to Tulsi, I suggest she not wear it.

I appreciate that Tulsi is a person who can think for herself.
The downside is that so much of what she thinks is whack.

Tulsi is way too mainstream and that’s why Democrats will never nominate her. They want their free chit and they want it now.

And Mazie's hero, Daniel Inouye, who was accused of sexually assaulting NINE women.

Tulsi won’t be the nominee.
She is in reality too conservative for their base.
They’ll reject her on delivery.

Tulsi G. The closest thing to eye candy the dems have to offer, but thats it. When she speaks, she kills the fantasy...

We know all about Tulsi, as she is our representative for all outer islands of Hawaii and just a small portion of the island of Oahu. Her father was a RINO in government and finally switched over to become a Dem.
Tulsi just wants to be on stage, in the limelight and to hob nob with the elite. She has nothing to lose. Her ego’s thirst cannot be quenched.

Yep, I suspect like most politicians, she has no core convictions, just says what she thinks will get her elected or notoriety.

Harris never recovered from the Tulsi smackdown
