RE: Five Reasons I’m Excited About Tulsi Gabbard’s Candidacy
To bad the time spent writing that was a waste. She has no name recognition among the vast majority of Americans and it's highly unlikely a woman lacking that kind of notoriety is going to find herself a front runner for the presidency, at a minimum if she's lucky she'll get invited by a candidate to run along side as a vice presidential candidate.
I disagree with your assertion that this article was a waste of time. I knew very little about Tulsi Gabbard, and now I have the perspective of someone whose opinion I trust. Also, I have to question if you actually read the article, because it directly stated that Gabbard is unlikely to win. It was more about how she might affect the 2020 race and bring exposure to an anti-war, progressive platform
I think people are bit tired of the "progressive platform", hence the election of Trump whom despite objections from all sides has been in the process of pulling troops out of foreign affairs.
Nice to know she will have a least one vote.
Would she be getting an interview on CNN if she was so "lacking in notoriety"? She's been a representative since 2012 and became quite popular during the '16 primaries. Either people already know her or they will after the debates.
Furthermore, she supported Trump suspending CIA funding of terrorists in Syria and is supportive of his withdrawal. Try doing the basic due diligence of a google search before you go on your masturbatory tangent.
Your authoritarian god president is running around with the Clintons and pedos like Jeffrey Epstein while you're sitting there self righteous. Get over yourself.
The news cycle is a 24/7 operating machine, news that a woman of little known origin on the mainland is running for president makes for good filler. That's about it. More filler for the clown cars to come (cars: hence republican and democrat)
I heard she's supported Trump on some of his policies but that isn't going to give her a automatic wave to ride the tide onto the mainland. You got to look at a lot of this much more logically, a lot of these low profile names you will see enter the race is to keep the more high profile people from generating steam and cutting into their support, that's just the game of politics, you'll soon see it on the republican side also.
You surely do need to update your browser if your news feed is telling you Trump is hanging out with the Clintons, there's a lot of love lost there, they won't be patching things up any time soon.
What is this, a political science class? I don't think she's looking to "ride" Trump's "tide", sooo. Just made the point that she has been supportive of certain things he's done. Don't care to theorize or drag it out any further.
Love how you skated right past the bit about him hanging out with Jeffrey Epstein, a CONVICTED pedophile and friend of the Clintons, who he called "a terrific guy". Just because your TV insists he's different than the presidents before him doesn't make it so.
I didn't skate paste anything, I heard the story of the thirteen year old girl who filed a lawsuit....she finally admitted she lied. I just didn't want to get into a debate about the whole matter.
Obama came out of nowhere.
It's not quite as spectacular as voting in the first African American president. There are many more women in politics who have more name recognition then she does, more accomplishments to. I just don't see this going anywhere.
