What is this person's agenda? Time to stop kidding ourselves. What actual Democrat is saying that trump's shutdown, the one he claimed the mantle for on national TV, is partly the Democrats' fault? IMO the agenda seems to be one of division. Is she this presidential cycle's Jill Stein, or that other divisive candidate?

Hawaii congresswoman and Democratic candidate for president Tulsi Gabbard said Sunday that her party’s leadership was not blameless for the partial government shutdown that is now approaching a month, accusing both sides of posturing and refusing to compromise.

“The problem here is that this issue, like so many others in Washington, are being relegated to partisan politics,” she said in an interview on CNN’s “State of the Union."

“Where if a Republican is putting forward a proposal, Democrats are going to shoot it down. If Democrats are putting forward a proposal, Republicans are going to shoot it down, really thinking about which party can call a win on this issue.”

3. What?

When she said:

“Where if a Republican is putting forward a proposal, Democrats are going to shoot it down. If Democrats are putting forward a proposal, Republicans are going to shoot it down, really thinking about which party can call a win on this issue.”

is she aware that Pelosi put forward a GOP proposal?

A proposal that the GOP passed in both chambers of Congress.

The problem is that Trump is an unstable and unreliable person with no integrity at all.

4. Think she'll last long enough to participate in the first debate?

[Maru Kitteh]

13. nope. nt

[MrsMatt]

20. She refused to debate

her senate primary opponants.

[Yeehah]

5. With friends like this, who needs enemies?

LOL at her running for president.

6. This deserves a new acronym....DLTDHYAOTWO

[brush]

7. Pls share what DLTDHYAOTW means.

[dameatball]

14. Sorry, I left out the N.....DNLTDHYAOTWO

[brush]

16. And now you left out the meaning. What's up?

We can't read your mind.

39. And you are correct....no point trying to be clever if people do not understand the message...:)

8. Fake Candidate

She does not appear to be a serious candidate in any sense of the word...her campaign has exactly the same chance as my own (unannounced write-in campaign) of actually garnering the nomination...publicity stunt to increase her profile and she seems ready to start filling in as "the next Joe Lieberman" if given half the chance...

19. +1, Seems she is working for the right from the left

[Hassler]

9. I'm sure this hot take will really energize her run for President.

[radius777]

10. She's long said things like this,

no surprise to me that she's partially blaming Dems.

Shame that her challenger in her last primary didn't defeat her.

11. She left out an important part

She said, "Where if a Republican is putting forward a proposal, Democrats are going to shoot it down."

To lend some veracity to her statement, it should have read: "Where if a Republican is putting forward a stupid, unworkable, highly partisan, unacceptable proposal, Democrats are going to shoot it down."

There, all fixed.

12. Maybe she is hoping for a job at CNN or MSNBC.

The “both sides” narrative is very popular there.

[brush]

15. More likely FOX where that is actually pushed.

[JI7]

24. probably already has a job at rt

[NastyRiffraff]

17. Hawaii deserves better

Luckily, they also have Masie Horono. She doesn't seem like she'll run, but I'd much rather have her as a candidate than Tulsi.

[uponit7771]

18. Could the Russians want to help her like they helped Sanders?!?

[Freethinker65]

31. Yep. And Jill Stein. She will get propped up for a bit

Would love to see where she is getting her funding and encouragement from.

She is Putin's designated opposition to 🍊 in the next "elections"

27. useless bothsiderism pap

i guess she doesn't need my vote

[allgood33]

28. She's in the running just to make the other Dems look bad in the eyes of GOP-Trupians.

That is all.

[uponit7771]

37. +1

[MrScorpio]

30. Sarcastically, yeah, that's gonna get her some votes

[Takket]

32. "the wall is an immorality" - Nancy Pelosi

We cannot as a society begin endorsing racist and ineffective policies just because one person's ego doesn't want to be bruised. Speaker Pelosi's words are perfect and sum up why there is NOTHING to compromise on here.

Get the fuck out of our party, Tulsi. God I can't wait for her challenger to beat her.

Nothing to do with Dems.
