If she is still viable on January 15th, 2020 I will send her $25 bucks...

[Psalm 73]

"Jill Stein wasn’t a pariah to the dem party..."

Point taken.

[trebb]

Like Ross Perot and Ralph Nader....and even Ron Paul.....

Tulsi is nothingness with a green streak

She will have no effect as a third party candidate

[Pearls Before Swine]

I’d vote for her.

I’m in MA, where my vote is meaningless.

[hal ogen]

She’s a leftist. She will “play that game” but on her own time.

Who were we getting in 2008? Newt? Rudy? Mittens? All the GOP money was on McLame, and there was nothing stopping it.

Exactly. Just like when Bush43 ran the first time, all the money and attention was on him. No chance for anyone else.

Unfortunately for Jeb (but fortunately for us) the 100 million he started with was not much help.

Trump could do that just by saying he’d nominate Tulsi Gabbard to some veteran administration or military leadership position.

If she took it she’d be blacklisted for life with the far-left pols running their party - but she’s too savvy to fall for a Trump admin position.

[tbw2]

He’d gut a lot of DNC support just by offering it.

[zipper]

Ha! Yeah, I sent Ralph Nader 25 bucks one presidential election year....

[zipper]

if she gets 2 percent in the demo nomination race, what makes you think she’d do any better in the general election...?

I seem to remember one recent presidential election that was determined by about 600 votes in one state... what is that, one voter in 266,667 on average, in the national vote totals, less than .0004 percent. 2 percent is more than 5,300 times as many.

For a Dem, it would school t a good thing to be articulate.
