1. Oh, HELL NO. I want her gone from all of these debates. n/t

[CaliforniaPeggy]

4. It's supposed to be getting harder, or so I thought.

BTW, Welcome to DU!

[Me.]

5. Not When You Have Russia Behind You

[CaliforniaPeggy]

6. They can supply her with "donors."

But she must also reach certain percentages in national polls, and they have no effect there.

[Me.]

8. Don't Know About That

THey're pretty sneaky

[SCantiGOP]

15. A while back some far right sites

were urging people to give her name if polled, since they knew that would create some discord in the ranks.

[evertonfc]

3. look

She probably has enough supporters to linger for a while.....She is best ignored

[fleur-de-lisa]

34. Exactly. Why do people keep giving her oxygen?

Just ignore her.

[aikoaiko]

10. The more people attack her the more support she gets.

It's so predictable, but yet people keep doing it.

[aikoaiko]

17. Wrong she once was at less than 1 percent, but now at 2 percent nationally

The attacks are giving her airtime, interviews, donors, and life.

She's now edged above Klobuchar, Steyer, Booker, and Castro on national polling.

25. She was fading away when ignored

[aikoaiko]

31. I don't think we see the same data.

First you say she is at 0, but the RCP clearly shows her at 2%.

Then you say she was never below 1%, but again the RCP shows that she was below 1% in early August.

Tulsi could be at zero, but we keep legitimizing her by having real contenders attack her.

[Pachamama]

11. I'm sure there are atleast 3000 Republicans happy to donate

[JaneQPublic]

12. Donations & polling coming from GOP sabotage

[SCantiGOP]

16. She has 1% in the DU rankings

But I don’t believe I’ve ever seen anybody with a Gabbard endorsement on their post commenting here.
Are there people who argue her case here?

[groundloop]

19. You're correct, I can't recall anyone on DU expressing support for her

Of course the Russian trolls will likely be along at some point.

[R B Garr]

26. +1, I've seen only one , and let's just say it didn't

surprise me from that poster.

[George II]

18. Reminder Tulsi - those last 3,000 contributors have to be Americans.

[EveHammond13]

20. she says the same fucking thing every time

[aeromanKC]

21. Trump MAGAT's, Jill Stein and the Russians will get her over.

It's just disgusting.

[democratisphere]

22. Oh great! More verbal body slams to impress potential voters.

Democrats need to whittle down the field to include the real and serious contenders and exclude the single digit noise.

[Funtatlaguy]

23. Chair Perez should say she is ineligible.

[Fiendish Thingy]

27. Doesn't she have to get 4% in multiple polls? Nt

[redqueen]

41. Yes. Zach's spreadsheet linked in this tweet shows details

Link to tweet

[pnwmom]

28. Which polls has she gotten 4% in?

[redqueen]

42. See post 41 nt

[Joe941]

32. I wish Hillary would never have mentioned her name. Big mistake!

[Hav]

39. You are absolutely right with that observation

And I don't mean the Sanders part in particular but there is a segment here who rushes to use any opportunity to blame Clinton. You won't see the same people criticizing Gabbard for her anti-Dem and anti-Clinton campaign.

[Devil Child]

33. Fantastic!!!

[Hav]

40. I think she has several polls for the early states that count for the qualifying criteria

She's close there as well and the support comes almost entirely from Repubs and Indies.

[pintobean]

43. Welcome back

[Skidmore]

38. Still trying to figure out who supports her.

She has only itemized a third of her donors. So much for transparency. And polls can be gamed. IMHO, she is untrustworthy.
