Why Tulsi Gabbard Was The Only Democrat Asked A Negative Question Last Night
The Federalist ^ | June 27 2019 | Michael Tracey

Only one presidential candidate on the debate stage last night received an overtly negative question, and that was Tulsi Gabbard. Although she’s already painstakingly addressed the anti-LGBT comments she made as a teenager, and explained how her accumulation of new life experiences caused her to shed views taught her during childhood, Chuck Todd nevertheless saw fit to bring that up issue in front of a national audience being exposed to her for the first time.

The moderators didn’t raise any other candidates’ past “liabilities,” although plenty of them have what one might consider “baggage,” yet they chose to devise a specific question for Gabbard based on comments she made more than 15 years ago, well before she underwent the political and personal evolution that now forms the philosophical foundation for her campaign.

It’s nothing new for NBC News, however, which on the day of her formal announcement speech in February published a pathetic hit piece claiming that Gabbard was supported by the nefarious Russian “botnet,” using analysis derived from the discredited “cybersecurity firm” New Knowledge. The article was confabulated nonsense and said more about the editors and reporters who produced it than Gabbard, who obviously bears no responsibility for what unknown foreign trolls may do online.

If any individual Russians do in fact support Gabbard, it’s likely because she’s the only Democratic candidate who has challenged the prevailing Trump/Russia narrative, and does not favor launching into a dangerous Cold War posture over some Facebook memes.

They had their orders to take Tulsi down before she gained enough traction to pose a serious threat to Grey Beaver or Horizontal Harris.

Trump has to decide if that's still going to be him.
Actually that would be your choice but what Trump war are you referring to exactly?

And how do you blame Trump for the billions spent prior to Trump "for most of your life"?

SO NOW, all of a sudden you're pissed off at Trump for it?

Enjoy the Democrat debates, I'm sure the person you're looking for is in that gaggle of goof balls.

And, during the second debate, Buttigieg had the most negative question asked, about the recent shootings in South Bend, Indiana.

By 2019 Democrat standards she is a raving right-winger.
They’ll do everything that is necessary to kick her to the curb.
