The only sane Democrat running for president is being groomed by Russia. ROFLMAO!

This is the only democrat running that I would vote for. She is more in the middle then the rest of them. The rest are just bat sh$#t crazy at this point. It is a shame because I think she could beat Trump with very little effort and she is about as moderate as you can be right now. It is a shame how the liberals will eat their own when they don't want you on the ticket, but to say Russia is grooming Tulsi is just laughable. It is a shame because the democrat party is just disgusting at this point and everyone else running is just seeing who can out liberal the next candidate.

I like how she stands up for herself also!

Hmm, didn´t even know Tulsi was still in the running for president but ok.

She isn't even a front runner.

What is some of the republicans obsession with Tulsi? Maybe if Tulsi ran as a republican Trump supporters would finally abandon Trump. Right?

Why do liberals hate her so much is the real question? Looks like someone that can get votes from both sides of the aisle, but for some reason you all hate her for that.

Because she doesn't fit the shi%^y liberal mold the top candidates do.

LOL someone is a Tulsi fan there.

But if she does not appeal to the voter she does not appeal to voters.

Well then she better keep her word and not run as a third party/spoiler candidate after she bombs out of the primaries

@Xabiss: Liberals clearly don’t hate her. She’s still in the running so she’s meeting popularity and funding benchmarks.

We just don’t love her. Her platform is fairly liberal. No restrictions on abortion whatsoever, legalizing marijuana, abolishing private prisons, the death penalty, and mandatory minimums, supports Medicare for all and free college. My problem with her is that she’s never introduced major legislation or really done anything notable at all, so why would anyone believe she could accomplish even 1/4 of what her platform is suggesting?

She isn't bat shit, but neither are most of the other candidates. The GOP has pushed the country so far to the right that even left wing people seem right wing to Europeans.

Of course the right has.

To bad facts does not back up that claim.

She may not appeal to voters but she knows how to pimp slap ole hilldog.

Yeah, what's with the sudden conservative love for Gabbard? Have they just not been paying attention to anything she's said? Or do they think she's the weakest candidate and they're trying to sucker us into nominating her? Or is it just that Hillary said something bad about her and they hate everyone Hillary hates? Because if so, I hope Hillary starts talking about how much she loves McConnell and Trump. Check. Mate.

Gabbard's policy views, BTW:

https://www.politico.com/2020-election/candidates-views-on-the-issues/tulsi-gabbard/

Now Andrew Yang is tweeting support for her. Some of the responses are accusing him of being a traitor too.

She got more likes for her tweet in five hours than she did in almost a year when she called Trump Saudi Arabia's female dog last November.

Several of her positions are still crap, but the fact that liberals have turned on her and are calling her a Russian asset is probably going to bite them in the ass later. She may be at one percent, but if she actually won the nomination I think she would have had a better chance of beating Trump than the current frontrunner Warren.

As a bonus, her Second Amendment views may please many of you.

Ive been saying this, the only 2 worth a damn running on the left is Tulsi/Yang, but for some reason the left eats up Biden/Warren what a joke. Yeah keep voting for the old guard, its going to be great!!!! Not lol

Republicans are watching the democrats fighting among themselves. She has been treated like Trump 2 by the media. And the republicans are very experienced with the media twisting things. I think they would view the way she has been treated as a great example of things wrong with the democratic party for the past years. What's not to love for republicans about all of this?

And in terms of credibility between Tulsi and Hilary, I'm actually a little worried for another 'suicide' now.

I think it would good for the Democratic party if more of the candidates showed support for each other.

What are Tulsi's positions again?

@KungfuKitten: At this point since conservatives and Republicans love of Tulsi, she might as well go independent or put her name in the Republican ticket.

The latter option might cause a huge backlash from democrats. The same if a Republican went Democrat.

Unlike most of the other candidates, she can probably reach across the aisle and generate much more support from moderates and anti-Trump Republicans. Pete Buttigieg and her remain two candidates that I do not roll my eyes too.

I agree 100% and that is one of the main reasons I like her.

Wrong answer. I am seeing some conservatives actually showing her some support.

You have so much hate for conservatives I find it hilarious. I would bet money you are the type of person that couldn't even have friends that are conservative. Just by the hate you spew on this forum.

They're not much different than many of the other Democrats running for president. She's pro-choice, wants stricter gun laws (got an F from the NRA, a badge of honor for many Democrats), is in favor of free college for lower income families, wants universal health care, and has several other positions that your average member of the GOP is against.

She just isn't as extreme and appears to be someone that may be able to compromise with Republicans on some subjects. Some people may bring up her having anti-LGBT views a long time ago as a reason to be against her, but if anybody wants to go down that route many Democratic politicians had anti-LGBT views prior to when it was politically advantageous to be pro-LGBT.

She just pisses off too many Democrats at this point and her calling out Kamala Harris' prosecution record while she was California AG really got her on the bad side of a lot of liberals. If Tulsi was white they probably would have called her racist for that smackdown she gave Kamala during that particular debate.

It really doesn't help that she's a frequent guest on Tucker Carlson, who some people are accusing of having a crush on her at this point for his lack of coming down on her like he usually does with liberal guests on his show. Tucker was one of her first on-screen appearances after she posted that tweet yesterday.

Then I would of lost money then. I am glad to see that you are not one of those.

Question for all the Republicans in here getting hard at the mention of the word compromise: since you seem to all of the sudden love compromise so much, what issues would you like to see the Trump administration compromise on?

LOL the only compromise Republicans want is for Democrats to do the compromising.

There's a bit more here going on than just Clinton going off the deep end. Maybe not much more, but Gabbard's weird following of 4chan weirdos and Russian bot twitter account isn't exactly fiction.

Interesting...……….

Of course Tulsi is "a Russian asset", this is worse than when Mccarthyism went crazy with the "red scare"

Do you know how far reaching and destructive McCarthyism was? Because your post seems very simplistic to the events that happened. This ain't it.

Don´t worry i know what he did and who he was.

And this leftist "Russia is everywhere" has come beyond what he did, his destruction was only temporary and confined,

The lefts "Russia crusade" is going to have far-reaching consequences and Putin is laughing all the way to the bank because he literally doesn´t have to do anything else, you guys on the left are doing it for him.

You have to ask yourself what actual proof is out there Tulsi Gabbard is a Russian asset. Isn’t that what McCarthyism is, accusations of being a traitor without sufficient evidence? But I know, everything bad that happens in American politics for the past few years is due to Russian interference.

At the same time, it seems pretty far-fetched for people to say Tulsi’s current run is just a precursor for her to run as a third party on behalf of Vladamir Putin to siphon votes from the eventual Democratic nominee and guarantee Trump’s reelection in 2020. What guarantee is there that her running as a third party doesn’t actually siphon votes from Trump instead, giving Democrats back the White House? She would probably pull some of the veteran vote for starters.

If Russia wants to guarantee Trump's reelection wouldn’t it be easier for Russia to just release some fake dirt on Biden tying him to the Ukraine scandal he was accused of as an October surprise assuming he’s the nominee? I’m sure they could find or manufacture dirt on Warren too if she ends up winning the nomination.

No I don't have to ask that. His analogy was hyperbolic.

Beto and Marianne Williamson just defended her.

Is it really hypobole? Here we are watching several posters who absolutely despise Trump argue in favor of the theory Tulsi is a Russian asset trying to get Trump reelected on behalf of Putin with no concrete evidence backing it up. Outside of this forum, there are people on social media as well as several journalists saying that they believe a sitting Democratic congresswoman and major in the National Guard is a traitor working for Russia all because Hillary and a few other people on the left say so.

I have almost nothing in common with Tulsi politically but I'm not feeling this whole trying to throw her under the bus as a traitor play Democrats are playing right now, and it catches my attention being someone that wears the same uniform she does (even if she only wears it one weekend a month) and would have her back in almost any other situation.

If nothing else, this has the potential to make people question the Russia narrative used against Trump if it's now being used against Tulsi. That can cost Democrats politically and for what, to stop a woman polling between one and two percent? Revenge for potentially hurting Kamala's chances when she bought up her prosecution history? Unless something out of the ordinary happens we already know the nomination will go to either Biden, Bernie, or Warren.

Yes ye it is. It's making light of something that ruined lives.

You say that like being accused of being a Russian asset during a time where half of the Democratic Party blames Putin for Trump being president couldn't potentially ruin her political career and possibly her life.

She has too many liberal positions to switch to the GOP and be taken seriously. At the same time, the people that believe she's working for Russia aren't going to let her progress as a Democrat either.

Being called a Russian asset is probably almost as bad as being called an ISIS sympathizer nowadays.

Politicians are voted in. If they don't appeal to the voters for whatever reason too damn bad. You're making light of people that were not dependent on public opinions and had their jobs ruined by POLITICIANS. It's not the same no matter how hysterical you guys act.

And what does not make her appealing? unfounded accusations that she is a Russian spy. You know your history and you know how many lives and careers were ruined because of Maccarthy

Also, the people accused was not just Random Joes it was also major public figures.

And lastly, do not pretend like this could not as easily have been made today.

Somehow I doubt you would be saying the same thing if Warren was the target or Trump was the one calling Tulsi a Russian asset. But that's just me.

Whether she's a Russian asset or not it feels fairly off that folks on the right love her for no real reason. She's bland on everything but "regime change wars," taking a generic but still decidedly left-wing stance for nearly every topic, yet they're lining up to throw pretend support her way. I can't imagine that's 100% on accident.

People on the right? citation to those unless you mean in here.

Or are you suggesting that "we" on this forum have prior knowledge of what Tulsi is and are only defending her because we know that she is a Russian asset? or because we know she isn't, and want to throw you guys on the left a fake bone.

That´s almost textbook Spanish inquisition/Maccarthyism there.

I'm not vested either way. But I found that particular analogy to be hyperbolic. If we're going to use insults without evidence as McCarthyism then trump is by far the biggest problem. I somehow think I've seen you defend his slurs though so there is that.

Sure here's some citation for you. https://www.gamespot.com/forums/political-gamers-909409192/the-only-sane-democrat-running-for-president-is-be-33471478/#js-message-44

The Mccarthyism talking point garbage, I specifically did not claim she's an asset, merely that you all throw her support for no good reason. She's claiming to go after the right wing wealthy establishment, global warming, attacks on LGBT individuals, same as the rest. It seems convenient and unexplainable she is loved by you all.

Could it be that people who "defend her" do it because we are not black/white in terms of where on the political spectrum we stand and that when something insane happens we are perfectly able to see it no matter what side it is on?

I do get that we are in these "TDS" times and the left´s "you are either with us or you are against us" rhetoric , But there is literally no actual evidence/facts to back up any claim Clinton made or any of the twitter trolls who came out of the woodwork with "stories" which for them confirms she is a Russian spy.

If the accusations of being a Russian asset were being thrown at Dan Crenshaw by an establishment politician I would hope people here would come to his defense as well despite the large Democratic population on this forum. Politically speaking, I don't have to agree with Tulsi to express my opinion she's not a traitor. I get it, many of the people jumping on the hate Tulsi train are only doing so because Hillary is suggesting she's secretly working for Putin to get Trump reelected and as such she is considered worthy of any criticism that comes her way.

But don't let people like me be the reason you are skeptical of any defense of her from people on the right. Several 2020 Democratic candidates to include Beto (a guy that wants to disarm millions of gun owners) have come to her defense as well. At the same time, several people on the right are discouraging defending her because they are either bringing up her political positions or they are even suggesting this fight with Hillary is just a ruse to benefit the Democratic Party in some way.

Looks like Bernie finally inserted himself in the conversation.

Not surprising and hopefully this must give a bad taste in the mouth with all the "Tulsi is a Russian asset"
