I don't expect Tulsi Gabbard to go very far in the primaries.

[redgreenandblue]

Her biggest problem is that in virtually every area (leftwing politics, representation/"identity" issues, centrist politics etc.) she is outclassed by some other candidate.

She is kind of a "jack of all trades, master of none" candidate who is unlikely to draw a dedicated base of hardcore supporters. Her name recognition in the general public isn't that high either.

She might be popular with a certain type of independents (the "I want universal health-care AND nationalism" kind), but these are unlikely to vote in the Democratic primaries in large numbers IMO.

1. Fox "News" is apparently worried that she's not being treated fairly....

Gee, look who she has in her camp: Fox News asks, "Is Tulsi Gabbard being 'unfairly' attacked?"
and of course, who do they bring in to share: Glen Greenwald.

Can anyone say, "red flag?"

3. I don't have good feelings about her

a couple years back there was a big interest in this area in repubs infiltrating Democratic groups and running on their ticket only to end up looking more like her.

5. I think this is something we need to worry about (in general).

[2naSalit]

6. Yup.

I think that she was an early success for that strategy.

2. I suspect that is the plan

And will leave it at that publicly.

4. +1

7. It will quickly be 5

I suspect that at the very least, by Iowa, it will quickly reduce to 5. Until then, it is fairly easy these days to run a "boutique" campaign which I suspect most of these folks will be doing. Minimal staff and mostly running around Iowa and attending any debate into which they can get invited. The party would do well actually to facilitate these campaigns early on so as to avoid as much early infighting as they can. Organize "town halls" or something where they can all get some exposure with minimal expense. There's nothing wrong with allowing a wide range of democratic ideas to get exposure and distract from the twitter in chief.

9. The fact that Fox and RT are supporting her is not going to help her

[Generic Brad]

12. That tells me almost everything I need to know about her

Her words and actions fill in the rest of the picture.

15. I will not be supporting this candidate in the primaries

14. +1

10. She may win Hawaii

And that's it.

13. No House member is getting the nomination anyway (sorry Beto)

The one who gets the Democratic nomination will be either VP Biden, or a current or former Senator or Governor.

Note: Sec. Clinton would have a strong chance to win the nomination, but I doubt she wants to run again.
