That’s left some Democrats wondering what, exactly, she is up to in the race, while others worry about supportive signs from online bot activity and the Russian news media.

She’s trying to appear to be the sane one in the group, which isn’t really all that hard.

If she runs third party, she could draw a lot of voters that might have otherwise gone with Trump.

Dems are going to vote for the Dem nominee no matter what.

So I would throw a caution flag before we all jump on the Tulsi Train, in the hopes that she splits the Democrat vote.

I think it could be the other way around.

Sounds like the NY Slimes got Hillary's Talking Points memo.

The two parties will not exist in five years.

Tulsi is stage one in what comes next. So is Tucker Carlson.

“She’s got a good energy, a good vibe. You feel like this is just a serious person,” Mr. Cernovich said. “She seems very Trumpian.”

This is a take that deserves ridicule. She is absolutely NOT "Trumpian". She is a left wing kook who agrees with Trump on a couple issues. She is the opposite of MAGA, even if she is slightly saner than her fellow traveler candidates.

And, "serious"? Serious matters zero. She is a lightweight, and has no people of significant power around or supporting her. She would be co-opted by entrenched power brokers just like Obama. In fact, she is a lot like Obama, and would end up the same as he, an articulate, pretty face completely controlled by powerful global interests.

So far, Trump is the only candidate willing to rebuke and reject the powerful global elite, and I don't see anyone on the left, including Gabbard, that has the steel to push back like him.

The top three candidates are all dead men (and one woman) walking.

Once they crash, Clinton is expecting to swoop in to public acclaim and rescue the Democrats.

Beto, Buttigieg, Harris, Booker etc. are all easy for Clinton because they’ve all staked out extreme positions. Gabbard is the only real threat.

Let me be clear. I am in no way endorsing Tulsi Gabbard. Just trying to inject a little chaos into the Democratic Primary.

Taking over Biden’s spot in the middle of the Communist Party.

She is playing a reasonable strategy. Especially as Biden hit the skids. She gets most of the non-wacko vote in the primary and the others split the wacko vote. Jumps her right into the top two or three in the early primaries.

This is obvious. She’s using conservative tactics to “cull” her liberal opponents. She’s trying to discredit the ones she has to to compete against by playing the good dem, bad dem scenario. B Clinton went soft toward conservative ideas before each election moving to the middle to steal votes from independents and the uninformed. She’s getting desperate so she is willing to spit things out of her mouth that taste like vinegar.

I don’t really like her after her some recent comments but if she’d do to the Democrat party the very same thing Trump did to GOP it would be just great.
The self-liking ice cream cone of political class needs change.

These potential candidates can SAY all they want.

At the end of the day, what matters is:

Are they prepared (mentally, logistically, organizationally) to stand up to everything that will be thrown at them? This includes threats to their own physical safety and everything that they hold dear.
