Showing Original Post only (View all)Tulsi Gabbard campaign in disarray [View all]
This is a very interesting article https://www.politico.com/story/2019/01/29/tulsi-gabbard-2020-election-1134055
Tulsi Gabbards presidential campaign hasnt officially launched yet but its already melting down.
Two-and-a-half weeks after she told CNN she had decided to run for the White Housean announcement that even her own staff didn't know was coming, after weeks of debating the timing of the rolloutthe 37-year-old congresswoman has struggled to contain the chaos.
Campaign manager Rania Batrice and Gabbards consulting firm Revolution Messaging are set to depart after this weekends official kickoff in Hawaii, two sources familiar with the situation told POLITICO. Gabbard is leaning on her sister, Vrindavan, to fill the void.
Meanwhile, the congresswoman is under fire back home after picking a fight with Sen. Mazie Hirono, and a prominent Democratic state lawmaker is already challenging Gabbard in next years congressional primary. That means she faces the possibility of losing the presidential race and her House seat as well.

Is revolution messaging the firm that sanders uses? Has this firm selected sanders over Gabbard?

I just don't see Bernie being a team player once he loses the primary in 2020.
