except maybe another invited visit with buddy Assad.

this means she gives up her seat if she's really serious.

I hope, for the sake of your great state, that proves to be the case!

we'll see how serious she is. I don't really see how she can run for both.

too many don't even know it. lol

so why is she really in, what is the get for her cause it sure isn't the WH, she can't be that delusional

in fact, someone already posted it.

Can't find it.. I'll PM you.

Me

it looks like you can run for 2 offices in Hawaii.

Can You Run for Congress and President? Depends Where

I hope someone primaries her while she's involved in this silly campaign. I normally am against primarying
Democrats but is she really?

last time she wouldn't even debate her primary opponent so it seems she thinks she has that wrapped up.

BUT.. since she's running for potus, too.. she will be nationally vetted.

At least you're not in Kentucky.

Even Gabbard would be a step up from what represents us hillbillies.

And, we have Hirono and Schatz! Two brilliant Senators

I hope in my lifetime Mitch gets his.. he's not just vile and vicious for Kentucky.. he's spreading his beta & gamma radio active, toxicity to the World.

After we got to know each other a little bit in that long thread a few weeks back, I thought of you immediately when I read this (ridiculous) news, and was immediately hoping for your sake (and everyone's) that this would mean she resigned from the House! Must keep her out of the Senate!

post I researched it.. and, anyone can run for POTUS and Congress at the same time in Hawaii.

But.. since she is running for potus she will be nationally Vetted. It won't be like here where she won't even debate her opponents.

And, now she's attacked Mazie Hirono and Kamala Harris..

Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard accuses fellow Democrats of 'religious bigotry' in questioning judicial nominee

. . . for the link. I had no idea she made a stink out of that. She is frankly a complete idiot. Great response by Ms. Hirono, no surprise. And of course Gabbard attacks my (home state and favorite overall) senator, too. Oof.

Yeah, I'm sure your research is spot on, and I didn't mean she would have to resign from the House; I was just hoping she would! We talked about this before and I know you realize that I want Hirono to stay in office for a long, long time, but only because Gabbard is so damn young I have to ask - is there anyone who can contend with her when she, inevitably IMO, runs for that seat? A Schatz type maybe, young and dynamic, male or female, but not a blockhead like your esteemed Representative?

Dino.

President Obama's!

waste of time and money

We need more political stories and events like we need...a border wall. (Just a joke...no offense to this great forum.)

The US regime change policy had terrible consequences in human life. It might be a good debate for Gabbard and others to have, and primary voters can decide what they think.

No way does she have a snowballs chance. This is going to be a large pool of very qualified candidates.

I rolled my eyes so hard they popped out.

Low blow but really spot on. LOL!

She's going nowhere.

but I like quite a few candidates and potential candidates.

trust me, i know

I'd rather get this out of the way is this is how it's going to go.

Disturbing.... VERY

She’s sucking up to some horrible people.

can be vetted.

I don’t think it is an issue

Just dial it back and let's see where it goes.

that shit wouldn’t get ramped up for another six months at least.

is getting an early start.

Fuck You, joe.

But she leans toward the more frightening side of being a populist, specially of foreign affairs.

I didn’t sugar coat that. I think I used the word frightening.

In 2017 you will find she held an almost identical ideological score to O’Rourke.

Not sure how I can be more clear on my thoughts than frightening.

As far as I know, the worst Dem in the area of foreign affairs.

And that’s being polite. I hope she doesn’t bring too many conspiracies into the campaign.

I doubt she’d have entered the race without checking with him first.

But it's too soon. Hope this is not as bad a career move as it seems.

And how these grades were arrived at. Ive seen these ratings before and really have wonder how certain congress people are behind others. And how are any Democrats getting F's? To be fair though, I've only heard her on Joe Rogan and a couple other interviews, so I need to do more homework. For instance, I dont know anything about this Assad connection people are referring to.

The 2nd most downloaded podcast of 2018. What a piece of shit

...

Should we drum Steny Hoyer out of the party as well?

gleefully posting their findings even though they refuse to defend the methodology.

That said, I won't weigh in on how Gabbard might fair in a more appropriate study. It does seem like there are some issues where I would part company with her on, but I'd have to do more research before asserting that.

Link to tweet

Yuck. She has an ego problem.

yeah, that's why I contacted her and said "NO More Emails from you."

'Cause she was always on foxscrews dissing President Obama.

Thanks but no thanks.

Here is a really long profile on her that I just finished reading:

https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2017/11/06/what-does-tulsi-gabbard-believe

Trey Gowdy, the South Carolina Republican, is one of her closest friends in Congress. He first spied her on the House floor, sitting on the Republican side of the aisle.

I think she may bring a great policy discussion!

Her policies seem to be right of center.

but I want to find out more about her before making up my mind.

Link to tweet

I have looked at her and the other candidates stand on issues now and not just from years ago, opinions change. The past will factor in but not exclusively.

I like her, too. She's going to be a great addition to the conversation.

And, if primary voters don't like her, they are going to have plenty of other options to choose from.

when she attacks Sen. Hirono. What I'm wondering is if AOC and social dems attacking other Dems especially those sit with her in Congress, if that has bolstered Tulsi's attacks on Dems.

I'm also wondering if there are possible ethics violations here with falsely calling out a DEm Senator and AOC's group calling a fellow, sitting Congressperson names.

Senators Mazie Hirono and Kamala Harris over their questioning a trump nominee, for a life time judge appointment, on whether he will uphold the law.

As Mazie's spokesman says..

...may lose some sleep over her later.

I think she may be an effective tactician, and she has some potentially powerful issues at her disposal that could serve to highlight ideological polarization. For instance, millions of Democratic primary voters may gravitate to the idea of reducing the US foreign military presence, foreign intervention, etc., which may be at odds with some Democrats’ vision.

Dem candidates for POTUS than Gabbard.

Link to tweet

I will give her strong consideration in the primaries.

I think it’s likely she would be a more effective campaigner than Sanders, for instance. She’s said some thing I don’t agree with. That certainly doesn’t rule out support.

Thanks for sharing!
