Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard on Being A Warrior, The Cost Of War, and Bernie Sanders

[Better Every Day]

Being a warrior need not entail loving war, nor entail being hawkish with regard to military action.

1 1/2 minute video.

she took a huge risk putting her neck out for Bernie. Especially as a young Congresswoman working in Clinton territory knowing she may see 8 years of Hillary's rule. The Clintons wont forget this betrayal.

I don't think she did. She has my unconditional support for any office moving forward, and I doubt I am the only one.

She torched herself with the establishment DNC, but those people are on a ticking time clock. The schism we are seeing on Republican side, is coming to the Democrat's side as well. It is just a matter of time.

In fact, my support of Trump, is evidence that this schism is already occurring.

Even with all your immense political power at her disposal, it was a huge risk.

I think she's the one who sent me the literature stating how she's for the 2nd (because she served?) BUT unless you work for the government you shouldn't have access to the basic tools of infantry. Something like that, more or less.

I think you are grossly and absurdly exaggerating how the clintons will respond to an an endorsement of a primary rival. The clintons are political animals first, and blatant retaliation to a member of their political base over something like this would just serve to weaken that. The primary motivating factor is power, not pettiness.

Gabbard herself said she was warned by many in the DNC and congress that she'd pay a price for endorsing Sanders if Hillary went on to win. Even if you believe that the Clintons wouldn't be like that, apparently many in the DNC and congress do expect that sort of "pettiness" of them.

Yes, because she's abandoning an influential position. Warned =/= threatened.

[ripskater]

Hillary is gonna go down hard and fast someday with scandals. I wouldn't want to be on her team either.

 

[PEB]

The Hillary crazies say that she is only supporting Bernie to undermine Hillary run for President and that she wants to be the first woman president even if it means an Donald Trump Presidency. Not my words just some crazies on Hillary side.

 

[ShoelessRye]

Bernie's running mate if he did win the primary some how, but surely the one to carry the Sanders banner in future years - either 2020 or 2024. I could see her run an indie campaign in 2020 against a President Clinton even if Hillary goes all third way deal making centrist and screws over Dems by cutting Social Security or something.

American Politics is at a cross roads, and I think a Hillary Presidency will lead to the crack up of Democratic Party, I could see four parties running in 2020 and surely by 2024. Progressive Left, Democrats (moderate left), Republicans (moderate right) and Hard Conservative Right.

yeah thats a crack pot theory, especially considering she would be in line behind warren

The problem is Warren would be over 70 years old in 4 years. Tulsi is I think 36 years old. People now say she is gunning to be Bernie's running mate.

In other news:

According to FiveThirtyEight (run by statistics guru Nate Silver), Bernie ultimately won 76 out of 131 pledged delegates on Tuesday. That translates to 58%, or just above the 57.5% that Bernie needs to win in post-March-15th states to win the pledged delegate race. So, Tuesday's results actually put Bernie on track to win the nomination.

If Warren wants to be POTUS. I'd rather her Secretsry of Treasury, Secreatsry of Commerse, or SEC Chair under a POTUS like Sanders who shared her views. Dat tag team would be potent. I say that even though I would vote for her to be potus because she is so tst in those areas.

I hope she doesn't end up like Vince Foster.

Fucking lol

I watch "The Good Wife". The DNC is very petty.
