Tulsi is closer to becoming President of the United States than you think

[Bhphoto]

in general, we don't like Tulsi Gabbard too much in DU.
But to think that she can become president of the United States is not as far-fetched as you might think.

Even if she wins zero delegates, Bernie Sanders loves her.
Nina Turner and Jane Sanders (very close to Bernie) are her BFF'S. So these two could further persuade Bernie Sanders to nominate her as vice president in the event that he wins the nomination for President.

The Russians love her. They might not have a huge incentive to support Donald Trump over a Bernie/Tulsi ticket.

On top of that, Bernie just had a heart attack and he's not young,
And guess who becomes President if God forbid, Bernie's health keeps him from finishing his tenure?

[Lochloosa]

1. She will be a nothing soon. Ignore her.

Nice try

[Bhphoto]

2. It doesn't matter if I ignore her

It matters if Bernie ignores her.

[Celerity]

98. you obviously have done very little research before posting this tosh

Gabbard no longer supports eliminating private insurance. That stance is POISON for the Berners.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

19. Why didn't I think of that... years ago?!

Bernie/Elizabeth or Elizabeth/Bernie 2020!!
Either way, they're stronger together!!
Welcome to the revolution!!!

[DownriverDem]

21. Center/Left Country

Our candidate has to appeal the those voters.

[lettucebe]

4. Fat chance on that

Bernie is not stupid

[LakeArenal]

5. Gee hope sanders declares her for vp before primary.

That would be the end to both

[PJMcK]

64. Good one! (n/t)

[brush]

6. Oh, please! She's as close to becoming pres. as you...or that senator from a small state.

[SWBTATTReg]

7. Yeah, right. Ignore. nt

[NurseJackie]

8. Oh my!

[JanetLovesObama]

9. BULL Fucking SHIT.

[AZ8theist]

30. EXACTLY. Who posts BULLSHIT like this???

As a lifelong died in the wool LIBERAL FUCKING BABY KILLER DEMOCRAT....

I would vote for Dictatorship over Tulsi fucking Gabbard on ANY FUCKING TICKET.

Again, who the fuck posts bullshit like this?????

It has to be Russian fucking bots. NO SANE American would believe any of this nonsense.

[dchill]

55. Just the words I was searching for!

[BeyondGeography]

11. Sanders/Gabbard as a unity ticket

This is why I come here.

[Squinch]

12. Gosh. This doesn't make me wonder about you at all.

[bronxiteforever]

27. +1000

[B Stieg]

33. +10, 000

[Hekate]

60. +100,000

[TidalWave46]

13. The cornerstone of your argument is that an eighty year ol...

Who just had a heart attack wins the Presidency.

Therefore I deem it an argument without merit.

[vsrazdem]

14. Please provide evidence that Jane Sandes/Nina Turner are her BFFs, otherwise this just a conspiracy

theory.

[Bhphoto]

15. Nina and Tulsi like sisters

Link to tweet

[vsrazdem]

16. LOL, you have to be joking. OMG Posting suport proves you are BFFs.

[Bhphoto]

46. She called her sister

Literally. But you refuse to see that.

[vsrazdem]

50. Where are you from, obviously not the US. People here call each other sister and brother all the

time.

[yardwork]

67. Maybe English isn't your first language?

[Bhphoto]

69. If someone is your very good friend you call her sister

stop spinning..

[treestar]

73. I don't think that is so

in current American English, people will use it on strangers if they are expressing support or positive feeling.

[yardwork]

76. Lol. This is amusing.

[Voltaire2]

89. !

[comradebillyboy]

17. Nice...

[Hekate]

61. If you don't understand the colloquialism involved,I think we've all agreed to not explain it to you

Welcome to DU. Enjoy your stay!

[betsuni]

66. The Sanders campaign addresses its emails and notices to "brothers and sisters."

You must not be familiar with the Sanders campaign. No other campaign does this.

[yardwork]

68. We're all like sisters and brothers to Bernie.

[Bhphoto]

70. Nice spin

how often does Nina Turner call people sisters on Twitter?

[yardwork]

84. Why would I care?

[NRaleighLiberal]

18. nope

[Renew Deal]

20. будь сильным товарищ

[BootinUp]

41. Lol, what does it mean?

[MsLeopard]

43. I want to know too! nt

57. An online Ruski to english translator gives this translation.

будь сильным товарищ

Be strong comrad

[Salviati]

54. Alternatively:

Вам платят по часу или по слову?

[Renew Deal]

56. lol

[beastie boy]

22. Let's see... Nina Turner has a snowflake's chance in hell to become a king maker.

Tulsi has a snowflake's chance in hell to be Bernie's pick.

Bernie has a snowflake's chance in hell of being nominated.

Bernie/Tulsi ticket has a snowflake's chance in hell of winning the generals.

IMHO, Tulsi the VP has a snowflake's chance in hell to outlast Bernie the President
.......................................

...Ok, I will bet a buck that this will never happen!

[alittlelark]

26. .......

[treestar]

74. +1

[Trueblue Texan]

28. I don't like it that...

she is so conservative and the Russians love her. I don't like it that Bernie loves her and I don't like Bernie's votes on gun laws. I don't like Russia and I don't like when members of Congress vote in ways that benefit Russia. I hope I stated all that so it doesn't get dinged. And I share your fears.

[CentralMass]

58. The poster has been a member for 6 days.

[karin_sj]

29. Well...

That's a horrifying thought.

[woodsprite]

31. Which is why I'm not considering Bernie at all this go round.

I voted for him in the last primaries, before I knew much about Gabbard.

[vsrazdem]

32. Russian bots at it again.

[Odoreida]

34. Must be silly season.

Never mind the conspiracy theories, here's my prediction -- By the time the primaries really start she will be gone.

[nolabear]

35. Jesus, can this GET any more botlike?

The whole history is Tulsi...all three days.

[Voltaire2]

90. lord have mirty on us.

[SunsetDreams2]

99. !!

The lord has spoken

[cwydro]

36. Lol!

[backscatter712]

37. Тулси's campaign is suffering from an acute failure to launch.

She's too much of a DINO to get any support from the base. About the only support I'm seeing for her online is from Russian bots.

Realistically, it's going to be Biden, or it's going to be Warren/Sanders or Sanders/Warren.

[ms liberty]

38. So, you've been here a week and this is what you're burning to tell us?

Well, it's highly implausible, completely improbable, and your reasoning relies on factors that are nothing more than assumptions on your part. This is not an auspicious beginning for you, new member. But your concern is noted. Welcome to DU, and enjoy your stay.

[brush]

82. Nicely done.

[MFM008]

39. Ummm

Nah.

[SunsetDreams2]

40. I looked at the Onion

To find the full story.. Nope not there

[alittlelark]

77. ....

[Brainfodder]

42. Not even worth discussing?

[BlueWI]

44. Sure.

And I just bought a feather pillow. I'm that much closer to constructing duck wings and flying to Canada.

[PufPuf23]

45. DU and the Democratic party are paying way too much attention to Tulsi Gabbard

Gabbard does not have the experience or popularity to be POTUS.

[Blue Owl]

47. Thanks I needed a good laugh today

n/t

[Iggo]

49. Gabbard.

And no, she's not.

She has zero chance of becoming the President Of The United States.

[Tiggeroshii]

51. That could be a deal breaker for me

[Wawannabe]

52. This is supposing BS wins

Ain’t gonna happen.

[Tiggeroshii]

88. What is BS?

I don't know of a candidate named what that common nomenclature refers to.

[Wawannabe]

94. Bernie

Is oft referred to as BS on this forum. It’s his initials...

[Tiggeroshii]

95. Strange. Haven't heard any Bernie supporters refer to him as that.

The standard nomenclature for BS means bullshit. Do people know that? Surely they wouldn't call him that if they knew...

[Voltaire2]

96. It's done to irritate people here.

Just ignore the bait and address any point that is actually being made.

[Tiggeroshii]

97. Oh I see! So their intentions are largely to insinuate that Senator Sanders is a liar?

Got it.

[Wawannabe]

101. My point was clear

Ain’t gonna happen.

[Voltaire2]

102. Sure, but if you wish to engage in dialog with people,

it might be a good idea to express your points in ways that aren't intended to annoy or insult them. Or not. Up to you.

[Wawannabe]

103. I did not engage further after answering the question because

I noticed that the person didn’t actually have a comment on the OP. That person was only trolling my comment and other peoples comments possibly the same as you were/are doing. I don’t think (can’t find in the thread) that either of you had your own comment to make to the OP-only trolling of others comments. I was engaging with the OP and got trolled for using BS’s initials. Hmmmm.

I answered you’re “barb” to point out that yes I did have a point and it was clear.

I’ll make it once again.

ain’t gonna happen

[Wawannabe]

105. Further

https://www.democraticunderground.com/1287335223

Note the use of candidate initials in OP headline.

[Wawannabe]

104. This and many other posts I have seen on DU

Refer to Bernie by using initials.

https://www.democraticunderground.com/1287335223

[ritapria]

53. Bernie more likely to choose

either Tammy Baldwin or Andrew Gillum to be his running mate ..He will not select Tulsi Gabbard for VP

[CentralMass]

59. How about Elizabeth Warren.

[Bhphoto]

71. You're not the judge of likelihood

but your opinion is respected.

[treestar]

75. Agree; if Bernie were to actually win

he'd need a "centrist" or "corporatist" to attract the more moderate voters.

[ecstatic]

62. Our elections are not secure, so anything is possible...

Is the correct response.

[Trueblue Texan]

72. That's what I was thinking...

...among other things

[Gothmog]

63. sanders will not be the nominee of the party

There are too many real Democrats who have good memories and who will not forgive or forget. A sanders/gabbard ticket will give trump 45+ states

[RandiFan1290]

65. lol

Welcome back to DU

[MrsCoffee]

78. Roflmfao

By this time next year the only place you will see or hear Tulsi will be from her new gig. She has obviously been auditioning. She isn’t running for re-election for her seat in Hawaii and will become just another political consultant and contributor for Fox.



Can’t buy into your fantasy, sorry.

[Vogon_Glory]

79. Tulsi becoming the next President? I am underwhelmed by your political acumen

Or perhaps it’s because you’re from a different dimension.

If you are, could you tell us how well President H. Ross Perot’s first term in office went?

[Peacetrain]

80. Now that scenario gave ME a "sad"

[KPN]

81. Oh My ... What a stretch!

Went to great lengths to fabricate another attack on Bernie there.

[Coleman]

83. She may be the Democratic Nominee

1. Some states are not holding a Republican primary.
2. Even in states holding R. primaries, Trump wins easily.
3. With a guarnteed nomination for Trump.
4. Republicans cross party lines to vote in Democratic primaries.
5. Even if they have to change parties to vote in closed primaries.
6. They all vote for Tulsi.

[Voltaire2]

85. This is pretty close to the most ludicrous op

I’ve seen in this forum, and that is an achievement to be proud of.

[ismnotwasm]

86. No

[MineralMan]

87. She's no closer to it than I am, and I'm not a candidate.

Feh!

[Hortensis]

91. Well, as if Trump could become president. Except for Putin

and massive election theft.

But you're forgetting one thing in this similarly unbelievable scenario of successful cyber warfare, Sanders wouldn't have her on a platter. She's offered herself before, and he does not love her.

[FrankBooth]

92. Isn't it amazing...

That wherever Tulsi goes, Right Wing talking points and/or Concern Trolling almost always follow? Just a coincidence, I'm sure.

[Hortensis]

93. To BHphoto with your 42 posts and a fantasy scenario,

I offer another one: A new liberal party. We'd roil a bit before it happened, of course, and then happen fast.

I think the conservatives' characteristic, inadequately principle-drive loyalty to their party, no matter what its leadership does, deludes people into thinking liberals would behave the same if Putin put his choices in control of OUR power.

Huge no to that. Even if we initially voted for our only choice, we're liberals, not damned conservatives.

[A-Schwarzenegger]

100. PPR, Buh-bye.

[Tarc]

106. That was worthy of a good laugh this morning
