In addition to losing Batrice, Gabbard, 37, is also under fire for a public feud with U.S. Sen. Mazie Hirono, D-Hawaii, over her questioning of a judicial nominee and other Democratic politicians in the Aloha State. She will also have to defend her House seat against state Sen. Kai Kahele, a Democrat, who recently announced his candidacy.
People familiar with Gabbards presidential bid described her to Politico as someone who is indecisive and impulsive. In early January, she announced on CNN that she was running for president, a move that blindsided her staff and suggested a disconnect between her and her team.
Her formal announcement on Friday left her aides working into the night to get her campaign website and social media accounts up online. The campaign plans to have a formal kickoff in Hawaii on Saturday.

Done....before it started...she must have had a discussion with herself....
...shame she’s a cutie
She is in the wromg party. She should be a conservative in the GOP. This will be her political swan song.
I have no idea why a military vet would want to be a Democrat.
No big loss. The ‘RATS have a whole trainload of bimbos running for president. Kind of like the world’s biggest whorehouse to chose from.
....but a complete airhead...
She is supporting the communist regime in Venezuela...so still a radical leftist at her core.
She’s no conservative.
“She is in the wromg party. ... I have no idea why a military vet would want to be a Democrat.”
We lived in Hawaii and realized that it’s next to impossible to be a GOP there if you want to win elections. It’s a socialist state. With her military background and her father’s influence she should be GOP.
Rats with a Veteran background often get elected. The Veteran stamp of approval plays well with the less than deep thinking electorate. Below the surface those Rats don’t enlist to serve their country, but to serve up a cushy life long political career once out.
Tulsi Says Trump And Pence Suck Al Qaeda Tushhttps://www.veteranstoday.com/2018/09/14/tulsi-says-trump-and-pence-suck-al-qaeda-tush/
Speaking on the House floor on September 13, Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard accused the Trump administration of protecting al-Qaeda terrorists in Idlib.
According to the congresswoman, this amounts to the betrayal of the American people and victims of al-Qaedas 9/11 attacks in the US.
That’s Padma Lakshmi from Top Chef

Just another democrat with delusions of actually being somebody.0
Alms for the poor, alms for the poor...
There are two parts to this.
Obviously, if you are from a blue state, especially a deep blue state, if you run as a Republican, you are throwing your money into a fire. My father was involved in local and state politics in a deep blue state and ran as a Democrat. Granted, this was in 1979 when there were still some Democrats who were to the right of Joseph Stalin. My dad was no Leftist. He was a plankowner in Citizens for Limited Taxation and was a 30 year Navy veteran. He was a conservative through and through, but I think he subscribed to the notion that you can’t make a difference unless you can get through the door.
The other part of this is that the Left cravenly uses veteran status as a lever to pry away the votes from people who might not usually vote for a Leftist. I was up in Maine on vacation a month or two before the 2018 election, and was in a bar having dinner. A commercial for a politician came on (Jared Golden) and even though the sound was not on, I tried to develop a sense of the candidate strictly from the visuals.
Young, good looking guy. He was target shooting, and they showed pictures of him as a Marine in the Middle East...I thought “Hey, he looks like a pretty good candidate based on the visuals. Seems like a pro-2nd Amendment person...hm. Is he a Republican?”
But I couldn’t figure out from the ad, there was no party affiliation anywhere in the ad.
I found out later when, out of curiousity, I looked him up and found out he is a Left-wing gun grabber. The difference between the visuals and the reality was astonishing. I also found out his election was somewhat unusual.
From Wikipedia: “...On election night, Golden trailed two-term incumbent Republican Bruce Poliquin by 2,000 votes. As neither candidate won a majority, Maine’s newly implemented ranked-choice voting system called for the second preferences of the two independent candidates to be redistributed to either Poliquin or Golden, in accordance with those voters’ second choice on the ballot. The independents’ supporters overwhelmingly ranked Golden as their second choice, so he defeated Poliquin by 3,000 votes after the final tabulation...”
I thought “What the hell is “ranked-choice” voting?” I had never heard of it, and it involves ballots that lets voters make multiple choices that can be transferred under certain circumstances.
I read the explanations with a frown on my face, because I am 100% opposed to all efforts to make access to voting “easier” via methods like “Motor Voting”, mail in ballots, extended voting times, district gerrymandering, and dozens of other efforts including the most heinous one that only became aware of in this election...Ballot Harvesting. I am not opposed to various methods to get the vote from people who are home-bound/bed-ridden, on vaction out of state or on business, at school, or military. I support those.
But I feel that every single one of these efforts to make voting as convenient as possible simply are levers to open up chinks in an already vulnerable voting process that can be exploited by the Left.
And make no mistake, voter fraud is the sole domain of the Left. Voter fraud on the Right happens but is relatively rare, but is pervasive on the Left. And they get away with it, and there are no consequences for it.
So, in this context, as I looked at this “ranked voting”, I became aware that it was pushed long and hard by the Left, with a small smattering of “bipartisan support” from RINO Republicans to get it into legislation. Ballot Harvesting, Motor Voter, efforts to impede voter ID or purging voter rolls are all opposed by the Left.
So, in an increasingly small number of available swing votes, the Left routinely hijacks the legislative processes (See the Soros “Secretary of State” initiative which unashamedly does exactly that) and at the same time, engages in fraud and deception at all levels. Look at this example of Jared Golden...he lost on election night by 2000 votes, then ended up winning by 3000 votes (a 5000 vote swing) after the polls had closed.
And on top of that, they have to hide the party affiliation and fallaciously portray a man like Jared Golden as a conservative in order to win.
Only hardcore Communists need apply.
Just go away, ladies.
None of you are leaders. None.
