Well this should be interesting. For years and years the CEC has claimed that attractive female Liberal politicians didn’t exist. That little fairy tale has been shattered.
She would be an acceptable Trump alternative for me, should Trump be renominated in 2020.
Unfortunately, the leftist whackanoodles that constitute the Democratic base, likely will find her unacceptably moderate.
Which illustrates an unfortunately reality.
The whackanoodle bases have an out sized influence in selecting candidates at all levels. So we get Trumps, Steve Kings, Occasio-Cortezs and that Palestinian Islamic whackjob who’s name escapes me at the moment.
If you want to restore sanity to BOTH parties. ALL voters need to get off their ass and vote in the PRIMARY, as well as the general election. The mainstream voters on both sides are consistently outvoted by the whackjob extremists so called “base” voters in both parties and the result are the candidate we have gotten.
Tulsi Gabbard has no chance at all in the primaries unless mainstream voters show up and not leave it the “base” whackjobs to vote. Same goes on the Republican side.
Her father is a Uber Conservative who constantly ran for Governor of Hawaii. She is the Rebel Child. She said Trump was Putin’s Bitch. She also called out the Governor of Hawaii during the false alarm missile strike and assured the public they were safe.
She is not afraid of the fray. She relishes it. She embraces confrontation. She runs towards the fight. She is going to make a fantastic President.
Except that the last five Democratic presidential nominees have been middle of the road Democrats. Clinton, Obama, Kerry, Gore, Clinton. None of them out there. Pretty sure they’ll do it again for 2020.
The more the merrier. There’s gonna be a lot of contenders. Dems definitely need to reach deeper into the bench and away from the usual suspects (Biden, Sanders, Warren)
