Tulsi Gabbard ✔ @TulsiGabbard

Great! Thank you @HillaryClinton. You, the queen of warmongers, embodiment of corruption, and personification of the rot that has sickened the Democratic Party for so long, have finally come out from behind the curtain. From the day I announced my candidacy, there has been a ...

8. Actually that is not true Sarah Sanders is all for her

[TidalWave46]

9. That was a really shitty and unnecessary comment on my part.

I self deleted and shouldn't have made it in the first place.

With respect to your statement here, there is overlap. It can be seen on many discussion boards.

Still, my apologies to anyone who read my nastiness.

[htuttle]

2. Let it all out Tulsi

Show everyone who you are!

[Qutzupalotl]

3. Once again, her opinions coincide with Putin's.

[dem4decades]

30. It's like he wrote it himself.

[StarfishSaver]

80. And Trump

[Tommy_Carcetti]

6. You're so vain, Tulsi, I bet you think this comment is about you.....

15. I see nothing inaccurate in Hillary's evaluation of the situation

[PunkinPi]

11. She's at 1%, Kamala Harris is at 8% nt

[BigmanPigman]

17. 1%...that high?

Should be at 0%.

[rzemanfl]

42. See below. I did not check someone else's assertion here earlier in the day.

The post is gone now, probably for the same reason I deleted mine.

[rzemanfl]

34. Someone said that here this morning. My bad. n/t

[rzemanfl]

57. Also, my old eyes can't tell the men from the women in those tiny pictures.

One lens has been replaced. The cataracts in the other eye are not "ripe" yet.

On edit-Forgot Welcome to DU. Forgetting is a whole other thing.

[njhoneybadger]

10. Notice she didn't address the Russian thing

[NurseJackie]

12. I think Hillary may have hit a nerve.

[SunSeeker]

25. Right?

[Cha]

47. LOL.. Ya Think!?

TG calling our Madam President every nasty gaslighting name she could Tweet OUT!!!

[blm]

56. Heh. Clobbered it.

[Baked Potato]

81. Yep!

[TheBlackAdder]

97. The Truth Nerve? 😂😂😂

[Hav]

13. Don't know how anyone here can support her

The cult-like followers on Twitter (not sure how many are real) fit her lunacy well.
But it's good she shows the craziness that open. That hopefully limits her appeal.

I'll trust Clinton's judgment.

[Mike 03]

22. That's what struck me too: her Twitter followers.

They really are an odd bunch and their interests intersect at times with a lot of discredited memes. I just saw a Q-Anon person defending her this afternoon. It's impossible not to wonder about some/many of them being bots or trolls.

[LisaM]

36. I am remotely acquainted with a few of her supporters.

The statement by Gabbard is obviously her playbook. That's the exact language they all use about Hillary Clinton.

[Hav]

40. Right, nothing wrong with supporting someone else

but with no other Dem candidate did I have the feeling to witness people from a parallel universe. Absolute delusion, devotion and an inability to be open for reason.

[dalton99a]

95. Most of them probably live in St. Petersburg (Санкт-Петербу́рг)

[kysrsoze]

14. Sounds like Trump talking. Hmmm... go figure.

[George II]

21. The only thing missing is a reference to "crooked Hillary".

[Cha]

49. Oh yeah.. I bet he's smugly shit eating

grinning about TG's tweet right now.

[still_one]

16. It would be a real shame if she lost her house seat

[TruckFump]

18. That is totally out of line.

Tulsi sure is not a Dem in my book. Wonder if she speaks Russian...?

[George II]

19. What a bitter person, eh?

[TexasTowelie]

20. So has Tulsi's chances of getting the Democratic nomination finally fallen below 0%?

A simple denial, without the name calling was the proper response.

[SunSeeker]

27. Yep. Instead she provides evidence for what Hillary was asserting. nt

[PunkinPi]

23. Corey Booker tweet FTW

Link to tweet

[SunSeeker]

28. LOL

[Hav]

31. Ok, that is hilarious

It took me some time to realize it was even posted by him or his staff which made it even better.
So, I don't think that episode has helped Gabbard's standing in the party.

[sheshe2]

62. ;)

[mcar]

67. Boom!

[SunSeeker]

29. Wow

[emulatorloo]

35. Somebody's having a meltdown.

[Hav]

43. It would have been less of an effort

to just say that she won't accept Russian election support/influence and that she rules out a third party run which I guess she did at an ealier time. Would have fit in one tweet as well and would have made her look less crazy.
But I agree with another poster here, much of this is show for a segment she wants to impress.

[Mike 03]

55. This would have been much preferable for all the reasons you state. nt

[tulipsandroses]

79. I agree. I see a Fox News job in her future

Unfortunately, so many people have discovered that poison rhetoric sells. Its a shame really.

[Mike Nelson]

45. All those "powerful allies in the corporate media"

... are a surprise to "but... her emails" Hillary, I'm sure. I guess this is saying Tulsi and Hillary are the front-runners?

[blm]

51. Wow

[Tiggeroshii]

70. She cray

[Atticus]

32. I've heard enough. This is what comes of allowing anyone who CLAIMS to belong to and

support the Democratic Party to use our name, our reputation and our debate stage. Hillary Clinton SAID what many---certainly including me---have been thinking for several months. Those supporting her should read some of the post-election 2016 posts about Jill Stein on this board. This is what you have to look forward to if Tulsi is your candidate.

If you could exclude the Trumpists, the Russian bots and agents plus the white supremacists, her followers could all meet in an Airstream.

If this earns me a "hide", so be it. I have NOT criticized a Democrat.

[Kurt V.]

64. Clinton's point is gabbard is a democrat. a compromised one. see?

Clinton has never been wrong about this stuff.

[Atticus]

76. I do not consider being "in the Democratic primary" the equivalent of BEING a Democrat. nt

[Kurt V.]

86. her record says otherwise. That's the rub. a few odd votes but otherwise 100% democrat.

[Atticus]

87. And there are trolls here with dozens of "ok" posts for each rancid Trump apologia. nt

[Kurt V.]

89. ya lost me. but i think we agree. gabbard is a democrat by record but also compromised

[Atticus]

92. We're on the same page. nt

[OldRed2450]

88. I'm curious how she voted to condemn Trump on Syria.

[Kurt V.]

91. not to popular democratic opinion. She's the perfect *mole* given her past record.

[OldRed2450]

93. I agree with you.

I can't find how she voted so I'm guessing she skipped the vote condemning Trump for getting out of Syria.

[IronLionZion]

33. Tulsi's House Primary Challenger Kai Kahele

https://www.kaikahele.com/
https://secure.actblue.com/donate/kaiforcongress

Tulsi Gabbard is sounding more like our president and criticizing a real Democrat.

[blm]

52. Post as an OP.

Let’s get some bucks moving.

[IronLionZion]

54. OK

Just donated another $10 to him!

[mcar]

68. That's a good one!

[FM123]

75. Best response! You win the internet Mr. Future Congressman From Hawaii.

[Baked Potato]

82. Bwaaaaaaa!

Should be a shoe-in

[dalton99a]

94. +1

[C_U_L8R]

37. Hilarious. She just proved Hillary's point.

[Lunabell]

38. You mad, brah?

Hilary warned us about trump and she was right...

[Otto Lidenbrock]

39. Tulsi's distract overwhelmingly voted for Hillary and against Trump

Act like it or someone else will take your seat

[rainin]

44. Wow! It didn't take much for her to show herself.

She forgot she's pretending to be a democrat. Oops.

[AkFemDem]

46. Good lord. I honestly wish they'd both be quiet...

Hillary’s moment has passed and Tulsi is never getting the dem nomination- as a third party candidate she’d only HELP democrats because you know who would vote Tulsi? Moderate republicans who loathe Trump but don’t want to vote democrat.

[brush]

78. Good point. I'd still like to see her disappear though so as not to tempt...

those whose candidate didn't get the nomination—as happened in 2016.

[LAS14]

48. OOohhhh!!! Wow! I've been wondering why Gabbard...

... engenders so much hostility. I know almost nothing about her and she seemed OK in the debates (doesn't mean I agreed with everything she said). But THIS! Wo! Now I know enough about Tulsi Gabbard.

[Mike 03]

72. You're not alone. I wasn't up to speed on all this either.

[Jarqui]

53. And so ends the 2020 campaign of Tulsi Gabbard for leadership of the Democratic Party

She'd lost me a long time ago

[LakeArenal]

58. Haha haha. Joke candidate should do stand up

[GemDigger]

59. Now is the time to act presidential Trump, err I mean Tulsi and that is not doing it. nt

[hlthe2b]

60. Lordy, the responses on Gabbard's twitter thread are scorching...

and that is all I'm gonna say...

[GemDigger]

63. I guess I have to over there and see what's what.

Glad you said it

[mcar]

65. ...

[LenaBaby61]

66. Базилик is getting HAMMERED on twitter .....

By those who can CLEARLY see through her.


Poor Базилик

[Blue_Tires]

69. I'm going to enjoy seeing her Republican ass primaried...

[still_one]

71. As far as I am aware there was one Democratic candidate running who very happy to bring her in

[flor-de-jasmim]

73. At the very least, Tulsi's demeanor is not one we want in the WH again.

[Joe941]

74. This infighting hurts us all. Tusi should stop.

[dalton99a]

77. "P.S.: No puppet, no puppet. You're the puppet."

[betsuni]

85. +1

[betsuni]

83. Using the same propaganda Russia used against Clinton to prove you're not being groomed by Russia.

[Takket]

84. she would get a hide on DU for posting that here...........

we should all be supporting her district's primary challenger Kaiali'i Kahele to unseat her and send her to the dustbin of history.

[NurseJackie]

90. Seriously?

[ecstatic]

96. I'm definitely supporting her opponent. I don't often meddle in

other state's elections, but democratic candidates in KY and HI will be receiving a lot of my dollars this go round.

[dustyscamp]

98. Hillary is far from what Tulsi says, but I also don't believe that she belongs on a pedestal

Tulsi is a little bit right with the corruption in the Democratic party though.

April 16, 2019

WASHINGTON — When Leah Daughtry, a former Democratic Party official, addressed a closed-door gathering of about 100 wealthy liberal donors in San Francisco last month, all it took was a review of the 2020 primary rules to throw a scare in them.

Democrats are likely to go into their convention next summer without having settled on a presidential nominee, said Ms. Daughtry, who ran her party’s conventions in 2008 and 2016, the last two times the nomination was contested. And Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont is well positioned to be one of the last candidates standing, she noted.

“I think I freaked them out,” Ms. Daughtry recalled with a chuckle, an assessment that was confirmed by three other attendees. They are hardly alone...

[Quixote1818]

99. Sorry, just seeing all of this. What did Hillary say about her?

Did she call her a Russian asset?
