In reply to the discussion: Tulsi Gabbard didn't vote. [View all]Gothmog
(180,778 posts)40. Here is an interesting discussion of Kahele
This is an interesting article https://www.cnn.com/2019/10/21/politics/tulsi-gabbard-2020-hawaii-hillary-clinton/index.html?utm_medium=social&utm_term=image&utm_source=twCNNp&utm_content=2019-10-22T01%3A04%3A06
But local insiders say a primary challenge from state Sen. Kai Kahele is to be taken seriously, in part because he already has high-profile support among towering local officials.
That includes three former governors in the local Democratic establishment: Neil Abercrombie, Ben Cayetano and John Waihee, who don't often appear as a bloc.
"That gives a pretty good indication of how the mainstream Democratic Party here regards her," said Colin Moore, director of the Public Policy Center at the University of Hawaii.
Kahele told CNN on Monday that his campaign had its best day of fundraising when Gabbard and Clinton clashed.
Gabbard has not formally announced a reelection bid for her House seat. Candidates have until June 2, 2020, to file for that November's election.

Last night, used Putin's talking points about regime change in Syria. No surprise she didn't vote.

Not so illuminating. Tulsi's got 99 problems, but this ain't one of them.

Harris has missed 85% of her votes during this campaign. What's your excuse for that, then?

IMO her and trump are both Russian assets. She must know there are suspicions about her.

Kai Kahele sounds wonderful! Wish I was in Hawaii (for a million reasons) I'd vote for him!

Asking a question is not making excuses, and many of the POTUS candidates have missed
