Current Affairs 2020 Democratic Primary

That's the key for her the future. She should have held off. Her and about 20 of the others should have let Sanders, biden, Warren and Harris fight it out.

To many off them wasting money all because they all thought they could beat Trump easily.

i agree 2020 isn't her time...but she's sure made an impression. Is she friendly with any of the top-tier candidates? Might she get a seat at the table?

Fox presenter looks to be best guess.

We shall see.

I hope I’m wrong, but I wouldn’t be surprised to see her run 3rd party. At which point my worst suspicions about her motives would be confirmed.

what are those suspicions?

Mate, you’re the one saying twitter engagement is some big important measure... Just providing a little counter-context

 

[BirkenheadBlue]

what are those suspicions?

That she’s bitter enough about whatever perceived slights she has, that she’ll put her own ego ahead of getting the most incompetent (amongst other adjectives) President in history out of office.

a lot of those comments are just taking the piss, Tulsi showed her inexperience setting herself up for that meme-worthy "for a number of reasons..."

still, having lots of pisstaking engagement hasn't harmed Trump.

If Gabbard was (outwardly) courting the votes of the same people Trump did, then that would be relevant.

i think Bush Jr has that honour. Trump's done some things quite well. I agree he's too poisonous/trolling to keep on for another term. It's not healthy for the land nor the world.

she kinda is, if she was the Dem2020 candidate she'd almost certainly take some Trump voters to her side. She has that veteran appeal.

Such as? And PLEASE don’t quote the economy, when all he’s done is continue a trend while increasing volatility.

Yeah but she isn’t...

So she’s trying to win the Democratic Primary by courting Trump voters?

If that’s the case, and she thinks that’s a winning strategy, then she’s too dumb to be drawing a salary.

no she wouldnt.

Trump supporters won't vote for her. They hate the Democrats.

If you mean Republicans in general with their heads as in those who abstained then maybe yes.

Mayor Pete is a veteran and the right dislike him.

There have been veterans in the senate and congress runs in the last few years ignored by red voters simply because they were Democrats.

Seriously?

Come of it. Sure he was inept but worse than Trump? No even close. As @BirkenheadBlue has said what things?

Or will you give us the typical answer his supporters give?
