Report: Gabbard Snuggles Up To Wall St. Execs, Considers 3rd Party Run

[TheBlackAdder]

.

Someone's got friends at FOX News!

Fox Business' Charles Gasparino reports that Tulsi Gabbard had a powwow with a group of Wall Streeters organized by Anthony Scaramucci.

"She's not doing very well in the primary right now," Fox Business' Charlie Gasparino reports. "She's had this big fight with Hillary Clinton, exchanges that were pretty nasty. Also there is widespread speculation in the Democratic Party that she's going to run as a third-party candidate that would hurt obviously who would eventually become the nominee."

Accurate so far, for sure, and Gasparino certainly has a line into Wall Street executives, which suggests there may be some truth to the rest of his report.

"Gabbard was in New York City last night for a private meeting with Wall Street executives and possible donors. This meeting occurred at Anthony Scaramucci's Hunt and Fish club. It was sponsored by Robert Wolf, as you know is a Fox Business contributor but also a prominent Democratic Party fundraiser." said Gasparino.

He then went on to point out that Bob Wolf is a part of the Democratic Party establishment, but also a Wall Street executive and venture capitalist who was formerly the CEO of UBS Americas. Apparently he also has some political advisory firm with Scaramucci, too. That is all accurate. Wolf serves on the board of the Obama Foundation and as is noted at the end of the report, is a "Biden guy."

1. But, of course she is.

[lettucebe]

2. She's wont peel off many voters if she does

so whatever she thinks is best is fine by me.

[redqueen]

8. My thoughts exactly.

Seems more republicans like her than Dems at this point.

[The Mouth]

10. It would be funny as fuck

if she ran and siphoned off way more Republican votes than Democratic votes, right in the crucial precincts.

[Me.]

3. And There You Have It

[snowybirdie]

4. Looks like

old Anthony Scaramucci is showing his true colors

[MontanaMama]

5. Seriously?

"She's had this big fight with Hillary Clinton, exchanges that were pretty nasty.

HRC was not nasty. Just another example of the both sides do it LIE. HRC stated facts and Gabbard outed herself.

[Cha]

6. NOT "exchanges"! Gabbard Went Paranoid and Ballistic..

NOT presidential.. just the opposite.

9. Thanks Cha. You're a master

at collecting/posting relevant tweets in one place!! I appreciate this so much because you're spot on. Gabbard went nuclear after HRC's tweet that never even mentioned Tulski by name. You're also correct that it wasn't an exchange. Tulski lost her damn mind like a rookie.

[Cha]

12. You are so right! "******i lost her damn mind like a rookie."

Mahalo, MontanaMama! This is personal for me since she's been representing my District for the last for the last 8 years.. and when she started going on fox "news" to bash President Obama back then.. is when I cancelled her gaslighting emails.

to you!

[TheBlackAdder]

16. THIS!

[SMC22307]

24. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be able to keep up with Tulsi!

There is no such thing as bad publicity, eh?

[OKNancy]

7. The only people I know who are supporting her are right-wing Republicans

but they hate Trump. The parents of my son-in-law said they want Gabbard. His mom is the kind who posts nasty crap on Facebook about immigrants, Hillary, ..you name it.

So who knows? She may draw from former Trump voters.

[The Mouth]

13. *LOTS* of people voted AGAINST Hillary in 2016

LOTS.

We should possibly be highly encouraging a 3rd party run. She could accuse Trump of being a draft dodger with a lot more force than anyone else but mayor Pete, playing to their vets base. A lot of them think she's hot, she's plausibly anti LGBT. She might damned well do a lot more damage to them than us.

[redqueen]

17. Heyyyyyy!

Another #YangGang!

[The Mouth]

20. I like almost all of our candidates

But Yang is the smartest person to run for the presidency in my lifetime, IMHO. Not much of a chance, I admit, but WHAT a VP or cabinet member. I can actually stand to listen to him speak.

[redqueen]

33. He's generating the kind of excitement, enthusiasm,

and unity that I've previously only seen from Bernie. And I agree of course about his intelligence and likability. Will be interesting to see how it goes

You should stop by the Yang group sometime!

[Cha]

28. LOTS of PEOPLE VOTED FOR HILLARY!!!!!!!

And, NO we sure as hell shouldn't "be encouraging a 3rd party run".. that a big part of why we have fucking trump right now.

[The Mouth]

32. Lots of people voted FOR her

And, due to decades of fuckery, lots of people voted against her. 20+ years of Hate Radio poisoning.

My point is that there are a LOT of people who voted Trump, or didn't vote 'D' because of right wing douchbaggery.

I am wondering if A tulsi 3rd party run would hurt the Democratic nominee or Trump more.

I hope she doesn't run, my POINT is that if she does, it would be deliciously ironic if she took more votes from Trump than she did from our candidate.

[NurseJackie]

11. I'm sure she'll get lots of support from Susan Sarandon, Michael Moore, and Cornel West...

... and perhaps a handful of malcontents whose preferred candidate didn't win the primary, so in "revenge" for his (or her) not winning the nomination, they choose to "punish" Democrats with a "protest vote."

[Cha]

14. Anything to kill progress..

25. There it is, more Tulsi! I thought this whole thing was gonna...

die down in a day or two? Not so much, eh?

[SWBTATTReg]

15. No one (or, at least I don't) trust tulsi gabbard...her ads sound suspiously like russian propaganda

and she is already threatening to leave the democratic party and go her own way. Go ahead...leave...I don't think anyone is going to miss you and I'd say you probably will hurt the repubs more...

[thesquanderer]

18. re:"she is already threatening to leave the democratic party and go her own way"

I've heard that speculation from others. Has she actually said anything at all to support this idea? I've only seen her denials, but I'd be interested to know if that has changed.

[TheBlackAdder]

21. Well, if she thinks she can win, running as an Independent Liberal, she knows it will benefit Trump.

.

She's made the conscious decision to be the 2020 version of Jill Stein and burn Democratic bridges.

I don't doubt her being filmed sitting at a conference dinner table with Vlad in late 2020.

.

[Ghost Dog]

23. Nothing is quoted in this article to support that idea. Nt

[myohmy2]

19. well, how about that...

...

[msongs]

22. dear ms gabbard, hillary did not have foreign policy. that belonged to obama, hillary

was just a messenger. pity you cant tell the difference yet u are in congress

[betsuni]

29. I just saw a people-on-the-street interview asking about Hillary and several young

ones said they didn't like her foreign policy, she's interventionist. I longed for the interviewer to ask them when Hillary was president and intervened in anything, but of course that will never happen.

[Miles Archer]

26. I need some time to process this, because I'm shocked, and certainly didn't see it coming.

Seriously, who could have possibly predicted this?

[dem4decades]

27. The new Jill Stein.

[Mike Nelson]

30. Who could have seen this coming?

...

[delisen]

31. H Clinton of course. nt

[TheBlackAdder]

34. I wonder if someone on her campaign is so disusted with her that they tipped off HRC's folks.
