The main reason I don’t think Tulsi is literally chashing checks from Putin is that she’s way too hamfisted about it. Like, she’d offer some token opposition to Assad’s war crimes. These FSB guys are pros, they know how to craft a plausible backstory for an undercover asset. They again, they did send Agent Butina into the field, so maybe spycraft isn’t as sophisticated as Le Carre novels make it seem.

Doesn’t Russian media openly brag about owning Trump? I think the game now is to highlight what a dumb clown show of a country we are.

“They are basically sending this message out to every veteran in this country, every service member, every American, anyone watching at home who is fighting for peace and who is calling for an end to these regime change wars,” Gabbard continued, “they are saying that you are also a Russian asset, that you are also a traitor to this country. That’s really what’s happening here.”
This is literally the “when they’re calling me racist, they’re really calling you racist” routine, except she’s speaking for every veteran apparently. Snap calling that she has cashed checks.
Did Tulsi endorse Bernie in 2016?
Obviously. She was vice chair of the DNC and quit to endorse him.
Yes, Tulsi Gabbard was vice chair of the DNC, this party is just, ffs.

I’m just trying to think this through with campaign strategy, and I can’t come up with something better than it’s designed to sow chaos and distraction, never to win her candidacy.
But maybe she doesn’t want to win. Maybe now she just wants unyielding supporters, no matter how small. One way to guarantee hardcore supporters is to wedge yourself into an issue that is so niche precisely because only a few hardcore devotees care.
She wants to win exactly like Jill Stein wants to win, it’s the same play with same underlying motivations and the same support, although I don’t remember Stein being on Tucker every day, that’s an innovation.

there’s a reason a lot of the morons on the net are Yang fans, he needs to GTFO too. Since he hasn’t gone full Tulsi, nobody’s gotten around to it yet.

He’s making a play for her supporters. Has been all along.
Yang sees his 2.5% poll numbers and thinks, if only I could add Tulsi’s 0.8%, I’d be on the straight path to victory. He really is the math guy.

She’s been polling at 2% from time to time lol. It’s small ball for sure but he’s not going to lose anything by being nice to her.
Ponied because I was trying to figure out how to express his total equity accounting for the -ev of pissing off normal voters, alas I am not Yang material.

We are some of the only people who give the tiniest fuck about tulsi gabbard. The world is burning and nobody cares.
I think we will all care when Warren 2020 is running against Tulsi, Bloomberg, and Stable Genius. He’ll win with under 40%.
That would be because of Bloomberg not tulsi. Tulsi pulls more from trump than Warren I’m guessing.
No chance, Tulsi gets the Jill Stein/Cornel West/Susan Sarandon vote and otherwise depresses turnout for left anti-establishment people by painting Warren as a hawkish shill, it’s the same Ruskie playbook every time.

Just as a preview, Warren will be campaigned against as simultaneously the most leftist radical socialist in American history and an HRC style globalist warmonger. And “but she’s not either of those things, how can any sane person believe that” is not going to be a sufficient political/messaging defense. Sorry to scare anyone, but it’s almost Halloween, boo.

well I don’t get it, I’m legit baffled at anyone thinking Tulsi would take more votes from Trump than a dem. None of those twitter people for Tulsi are gonna vote her over their god.
