Elections Tulsi Gabbard just (informally) announced she is running for President

[Fawlty]

The days of "experienced" vanilla status quo politicians are GONE and in this day and age are not coming back.

That's not true, and thankfully, because it's really really stupid. These are critically important jobs and need proven people to do them. Populism sucks a fat one, I'm really tired of it already.

Don going to grab her by the pussy

If you will not learn from Trumps election then so be it.

No status quo candidate is going to win in 2020.

People are not going to vote for a candidate perceived as a more of the same upholding the status quo washington insider.

This ended for good and for ill in November 2016

If a candidate wants to win in 2020 he/she will have to prove that they are not more of the same.

The current status quo is an inept, unethical, inexperienced clown in the WH. I agree that people shouldn't try to repeat that.

The libertal media cabal narrative as the enemy stuff is getting old...it's also a lazy excuse for the reasons it's used.

The media does not even hide this fact

Name the last war the media was against?

@luckyshot

This IS the best candidate for the dems. She is clean, free of debris and corruption like almost all of the others.

I think Bernie, Liz Warren, and Sherrod Brown are all free of corruption as well.

I like Tulsi, but I like those others a lot as well.

You need to separate out the blood drinkers a little better than that. Then again, THEY are being sorted as we speak.

I don't think Serrod Brown wants to suck my blood. It seems to me like he just wants corporations to stop lying about the effects of tax cuts.

I don't want to get too involved with this beef here but as someone who follows the elections threads closely in 2012, 2016 and now, @Jack V Savage has always cared about a strong resume/qualifications for a candidate to run for president. Every conversation I've had with him in past elections has had that context behind it. He even mentioned Romney was well-qualified for the position even though he didn't agree with his politics. I know part of this whole argument isn't just about that but the portion where Jack dismisses Tulsi for 2020 is not surprising if he is trying to remain consistent.

If I could choose the next president, I’d pick Brown. I just don’t know if he can get through the primary.

 

[MayhemMonkey]

The fact you think she is ok with bombing the shit out of the middle East shows you get your info from the neoliberal media and the WR DNC crew

Im pretty sure bombing Al-Qaeda would require bombing the middle east. Stop talking pish

 

[MayhemMonkey]

Yes. That's what the Neoliberal media has taught you

Keep eating it up and nothing will change. They want you in a continual state of anger

anger? wtf are you slavering about now?

Yeah, I got shit from the left and even some of the right for defending Romney. I mean, I strongly disliked his campaign and disagreed with him about almost everything, but I thought that if I agreed with him, I'd think he was likely to be a great president, and I thought he was extremely well-qualified.

Something I think people don't really appreciate is that there is very little difference among primaries in terms of goals. Webb, Gabbard, Clinton, Bernie, etc. would all try to do the same kinds of things (and have the same allies and opponents, etc.). The difference is how well they'd execute. LBJ and FDR were seen by the left of their time as corporate sell-outs, too. They're remembered fondly now because they got the job done.

Don't get tired yet my friend, we still have 2020 around the corner. And then 2024.

You do not understand the difference? This was at a time we were ARMING the terrorists and complaining Syria and Russia were fighting them

You really need to think this out better

See above

Turn off CNN and actually read what non DNC corporate schills are posting

Or just continue following blindly

So far, I get the comparisons you've done with past candidates and even the current field. It makes sense why you wouldn't support her, especially from the perspective you hold/held. I do wonder if you factor in any part of the candidate's eligibility compared to solely just resume/experience. For example, do you think the three candidates you listed as you top options have just as good a chance (or better/worse) as some of the other candidates in the field. I guess what I'm asking is who do you think has the best chance of winning and do you factor that in at all?
