The old rule ruled her out: She’s not insane.
There is absolutely no way they would have changed this if all the others hadn’t dropped out. Can you imagine if at this stage they would have blocked Warren, Buttigieg, and Klobuchar- none of whom would have met the new criteria.
Dems are sexist. Just ask Lizzie!
To bad. I like looking at her.
Tulsi should barnstorm Idaho between now and their primary this Tuesday and get the feminazis to come out for her and the Republicans to Operation Chaos a win of this small state as a way of arguing for a spot in the debate.
New DNC qualification for debate: Candidates must be at least 75 years of age, male and white.
I guess no one ever heard of a write in candidate. And by pulling her out of the national debate, where she could get some ink and some attention by the voters not thinking she’s still in it, that could happen. And by that, it could cost either of the lib/socialist candidates the general election.
And if you don’t think it can happen, In 1911, after incumbent William Howard Taft won the Republican nomination, Teddy Roosevelt struck out on his own to form the Progressive Party, better known as the Bull Moose Party after Roosevelt’s boast to reporters that he was “as strong as a bull moose.” Roosevelt wasn’t strong enough to win the election, losing to Democrat Woodrow Wilson, though he did outdraw Taft in the popular vote. Nonetheless, his run siphoned enough progressives away from the GOP to give the party a distinctly more conservative feel in the ensuing years, and causing Howard Taft to lose the 1912 election to Woodrow Wilson.
The socialists need all the votes they can get to be competitive with Trump. If she stays in, she can’t win it but she can cause either Bernie or Joe to lose it. Put her back in as she didn’t call a halt to it and there’s plenty of room on the stage. Changing the rules of the debate is sexist at the least and should be presented that way by every social media source. It’s not about numbers. it’s about equality. They are using numbers to eliminate candidates that could stop them from winning. It is another cheating action by the liberal/socialist party. And this time, they are cheating their own.
I think she should do press conferences stating she is still in and is looking for write in votes to show her support. Course, she’ll get a call from Obama and Hilly about 5 minutes after the first conference, with threats about what she is doing. But I would laugh my tail off if she did.

Yes, in a lot of ways she is a far left Liberal, but she has at least rhetorically broken ranks with virtually all of them, by exposing them as war-mongering Neo-Cons. THAT DOES count for something, and it probably confuses a lot of the fellow Dems....except Sanders.....who, ironically, has not made the pointless war scenario any part of his own Agenda. What’s up with that?
She’s not shy about appearing on Fox, including the prime time and business shows (Tucker, Varney, etc.)
The people need to see the two old men fight it out.
Give them each a feather and watch them beat each other’s
brains out!
This leave Joe and Bernie duking it out against each other for an hour. Can Joe go that long mano-e-mano?
Tulsi is nothing more than Sanders-style socialism in a young & attractive package. Too many admirers on FR.
Oh, and as a National Guard officer she dissed the Commander in Chief. Look up Article 88 UCMJ.
Why don’t the Dems like Tulsi? Why is she not a woman, but that post-menopausal harpy, Warren, is?
She would have had all of Samoa, if the DNC hadn’t sent Bloomberg to buy half of it. So, the manipulation appears rather obvious to keep her off of the national stage.
She must not fit the DNC script for “Return of the Beast”, this year, because if the Dems really wanted an energizing candidate to run against Trump, I would think she would have been it.
They are really stupid to do this. Gabbard would mean three candidates having to answer questions for two hours. Without her, it’s Bernie vs. Joe for two whole hours, and their champion, Joe, is going to look like a doddering old fool.
“She is far left liberal.”
And this is the Democratic primary.
She can’t be any more Left than Bernie.
The DNC is clearly afraid that Sleepy Joe can’t even hang onto a plurality, if she appears nationally.
They have to do this. Bernie is going to take a dive. Tulsi will not. She has the potential to completely destroy Slo Joe. Look what she did to Harris. The DNC must keep her out to protect Joe.
She would be a reasonable candidate...at least compared to the loons they let in the debates.
They don’t want her, keep moving the goal posts.
