but the one they are grooming appeals more to disaffected Republicans than she does to Democrats.

she also has "the look" R's seem to follow. With appearing too sexist, I think you know what I mean.

so it makes sense that the Russians would build Gabbard as the next Jill Stein, and capture them.

If you follow my links some will take you to the original Hawai'i articles posted by DUer Mahina on Tulsi's upbringing and education in what is really a cult, not mainstream Hinduism. Getting this info out on the Mainland is the challenge, but it is out there.

is not helpful. I am sure she has some supporters and this only turns them off of the Democratic party.

Tulsi doesn't seem to have much of a following. Yang has much more engaged followers, and they seem to be on the edges of the party. Perfect to peel off with a third party candidate.

Yang's comment about US also doing election interference raised the red flag for me. He's also dismissed Russian interference in the election, saying automation was more of a factor. Plus someone seems to using bots to promote a Yang gang hashtag.

Being a bit of the longshot oddball, he has gotten support from the same dark corners of the internet that Trump has gotten though. He's more like a joke candidate pushed to muddy the waters, kind of like Williamson was. The meme candidate.

it should be to trust Clinton's knowledge and assessments. She was spot on about her warnings about Trump. If Clinton expects something like this, it should be taken very seriously.

Amy, so they are using the same tactic like they used in 2016, like having Jill Stein a third party choice.
