Wed Oct 30, 2019, 04:44 PM
Oct 2019

after national discussion of Russia's and Syria's use of her, something politics watchers all knew for some months now?

Even assuming she's not even close to being the third-party candidate our intelligence services say Russia's planning to use to keep Trump/Repubs in power, surely support should be plummeting?

Russia's waging war against us to destroy us. She hasn't denounced their assistance with her campaign or altered her messaging to hurt instead of benefit our attackers. Shouldn't at least those drawn to her military creds drop her like a hot potato when they realize she's not fighting?

Btw, lightly or just plain directly, saying someone seems like a RW troll "seems" like a personal attack, especially when that person is discussing a serious issue in the Democratic race. Even though, unlike the Republicans, the Russians haven't infiltrated our party like maggots breeding in a cadaver, imo we should be discussing almost nothing but this huge threat to our nation.

And if Hillary Clinton doesn't like something, there are those who will gravitate toward it.

In this case, Hillary elevated Gabbad as someone to be taken seriously -- a threat to the status quo if you will.

I understand Gabbard's special appeal to them in this situation. Certainly Russia hasn't been a problem them sort before, not while Putin's going after the evil DNC and Hillary, so I wouldn't expect anything better. And I know they're not ours. But their attitudes are disgusting anyway, no matter what rocks they crawl out from under.

Gabbard had ZERO qualifying polls for the November debates prior to the Clinton/Gabbard brawl, now Tulsi just needs one more qualifying poll in either category (3% national or 5% early state) to qualify.

Wed Oct 30, 2019, 03:59 PM
Oct 2019

She had similar numbers in late August as well, and still dropped right back down to 1 or even 0% in short order. If this is based in an actual increase in support, I'd imagine it's the result of her being focused on in the news cycle thanks to Hillary calling her a "Russian asset" which sort of backfired in the sense people whom aren't invested enough to even know who she is started Googling her name. Either way, I bet it will fade quite quickly as they realize she has no realistic chance of winning the primary.

Beyond that, I also wouldn't say that Sanders and Gabbard "love each other." If anything, he's been somewhat distant regarding her and her candidacy, and her regarding his this primary, outside of Sanders saying it was absurd to call her a "Russian asset."

Everyone knew that since our intelligence services reported it long ago.

Not that I mind if supporters of those two are shifting back and forth, but what goes on in their minds? Maybe Russia/Syria have decided to mostly back-burner Sanders and move her up?
