She's really going to give a third party run a go I think... either that, or she has her eye on a Senate seat? Not sure.


She has a primary challenger in her district, and she was polling below that challenger.  Internals may show way below for her to drop out? ?‍♀️  Long way from when she was the second most popular Hawaiian politician (Obama polled first). 

My guess would also be third party, but who would be financing her?  Not certain she can scrape together the funds to give it a real push.

WE’VE DESCENDED INTO SOME SORT OF BIZARRE HELL-WORLD IN WHICH ANDREW SULLIVAN IS A VOICE OF SANITY:
 
“Warren is surging, but she is, I fear — yes, I’ll say it — unelectable. I may be wrong, but by pledging to rip everyone off their current private health insurance, it certainly seems like she has thrown away the core advantage of her side — health security.
 
By floating the notion in the CNN forum that her future Secretary of Education would have to be approved by a transgender 9-year-old boy, she’s placing herself firmly inside a cultural revolution most Americans are deeply uncomfortable with…
 
For what it’s worth, I suspect Warren will win the nomination and dutifully lose the election just like Mondale, Dukakis, Gore, Kerry, and the second Clinton. She has that quintessential perfume of smug, well-meaning, mediocre doom that Democrats simply cannot resist.”

KURT SCHLICHTER:  The Odd Conservative Love Affair With Tulsi Gabbard. 

 

“Tulsi gets Strange New Conservative Respect for several reasons, but the primary one is that she doesn’t seem to hate our guts. She is what an opponent should be – an opponent, not an enemy.

 

Let’s face it – the mainstream Democrat Party hates our guts, and given its malignant druthers it would strip us of our First, Second, and probably Third Amendment rights in order to make sure that we never, ever have a say in our own governance again. . . .

 

Make no mistake – Tulsi is not one of us conservatives, though the kind of leftism she embraces (which owes a lot to the socialism of Bernie Sanders) shares some superficial similarities to the populism that has swept the GOP base. In many ways, we share her critique of an inept, corrupt ruling caste eager to send non-elite citizens off to fight their endless, mismanaged wars. We also share a critique of Big Business as a crony capitalist simulacrum of free enterprise, basically a bunch of rich jerks sidling up to the leaders of both parties to repeatedly shaft us regular folks to pump up a few digits on their balance sheets.”

 

But beware: “Sometimes we forget that Tulsi is a leftist, and that she would screw up health care, open the borders and impose all sorts of climate hoax nonsense. A key difference from us, when you get past the surface similarities, is that she and her ilk have faith in the idea that government can take on more and more responsibilities, despite the fact that it has demonstrated that it cannot handle those responsibilities it already has, which themselves are mostly far beyond what government should be doing in the first place.”

Trump if he didn't have such an abrasive and inarticulate style could have grabbed support of an additional 10%+ of Democrats over the past 3 years IMO. Neither party can get out of their own way way the other side is completely ***** up.

abrasiveness is the only way to talk to the media and liberals, they are NEVER listening when they get on a topic

 

he is perfectly articulate for the office of Presidency, after watching them the last 50 years, he is just fine

 

unless you hate him so much it eats you up all day (for which I'm laughing)
