Tulsi Gabbard a "No" on impeachment

[SilasSouleII]

Too "diviseve" for the country. Time to drop out congresswoman Gabbard. We need solidarity.

[TheRealNorth]

1. Too divisive?

What does she think this election is going to be like? If doing the right thing is too divisive, then it's best she get out of the primary as she clearly is not ready for a general election with Don the Con.

2. Do you have a link?

Not that I don't trust you. I just need to save it when her fans start poppin on to DU talking about her as if "She's the future of the party".

[Hortensis]

4. Google and choose your fav, Rogue. Gabbard made October debate.

This is hardly the first time I've wondered about her behavior. Russia's of course is very understandable; social media warfare is reportedly very inexpensive, so I'd say their investment in her has probably been paying off nicely, especially since she's somehow made it to the next round of debates.

Frankly, I don't think she has a sparkling future in the Democratic Party and is realizing that herself. Wither Tulsi next?

[rogue emissary]

7. Nevermind just read Dennis Donovan post.

Wow, and she did it on Fox news so the host wouldn't ask any hard follow up questions.

At this point she should just admit she's pro Putin. I'm sure the "I'd rather be a Russian than a Democrat" Republicans would vote for her.

[LiberalFighter]

18. Fans? Isn't it time to turn the AC off?

[FrankBooth]

3. She's an ex-soldier

She won't disobey orders from her superiors.

[Hortensis]

6. Lol. Honestly, I think she would, maybe even if she was

offered no choice. But right now "military training" is as good an explanation as anything else observers have come up with for others with incomprehensible behaviors in this strange era.

[Maru Kitteh]

28. I believe you miss who she is implied of acting as a subordinate to.

Hence the comment about superiors.

Just my interpretation. That's all.

[Hortensis]

31. Actually I thought I got it but my joke misfired.

Not exactly unheard of.

I think she's a loose cannon who can't be counted on by anyone period. Self preservation doesn't seem as dependable motive as for most either. She's one of those seriously flawed self saboteurs. I need a more recent example than Newt Gingrich, but he comes to mind because he's never finished the job and always pops up in moments of trouble, like flies to wounds.

[Maru Kitteh]

33. "Like flies to wounds"

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We also seem to have a certain element of unknown origin perennially plopped among us, drawn to even the smallest cut. Ready with an acid tongue.



You are so right.

[Blue_true]

20. She is still in the Reserves. But she is also a member of the US government,

the latter takes presidence over the former.

[TomSlick]

22. From the photos I can find, Rep is an MP officer.

Somewhere along the way, she had been taught that there is a duty to disobey an unlawful order. I don't think you can blame her position on her Army training. Of course, the other options are worse.

[FrankBooth]

23. My post was too cryptic

I meant Tulsi won't disobey orders from the superiors who are funding her campaign, and those people don't want Trump impeached. She's been given her marching orders, and she'll follow them. Apologies for the confusing post.

[TomSlick]

27. No worries.

As an retired Army JAG, I'm probably overly sensitive about claims that Army folks are required to blindly follow orders.

[jcgoldie]

5. fuck her

trojan horse.

[stopbush]

8. Who?

[Amimnoch]

9. Why do people who play no part in the process feel the need to chime in?

Right now there's only 1 leader and 1 body of players in this particular battle.. Speaker Pelosi and the House. This is what they're there for. When they decide to go forward, then it'll be on the Senate. It won't be a thing for the Presidential candidates at all (well, except for the ones that are Senators hopefully)

[RhodeIslandOne]

29. Uhhh, Tulsi Gabbard is a member of the House

Her vote counts in this instance.

[Amimnoch]

32. I do stand corrected on her.

When I'm wrong, I admit I'm wrong. There is indeed one contender who's input is important.

[NurseJackie]

10. Oh good lord! I believe her days as a candidate are numbered...

... and her days in ANY office are numbered as well. This is her last gasp for relevancy. She's really struggling.

[Mickju]

11. She needs to go and never come back.

She's a homophobic nutcase. I lived in Hawaii for 26 years. I know her and her family. They are disgusting people.

[Duppers]

17. +100

[TruckFump]

12. What a shock...not.

I have had enough of this Dino.

[ecstatic]

13. She went on CNN and argued against it (video)

SMH. Can't wait til she drops out.

Link to tweet

[Claritie Pixie]

14. Saw it. She's not one of us. Nope.

[Beringia]

15. Treason sympathizer

[FrankBooth]

16. That should be a winning talking point for her at the next debate

I'm sure the crowd at the debate will just love it. Hope someone makes her talk about it so she can hear the chorus of boos.

On the bright side, it'll boost her profile with the Breitbart crowd and gets her that much closer to a cushy gig on Fox News.

[Dagstead Bumwood]

21. Yeah, she's gotta think long game, here.

She'll be Faux's #1 go-to expert when they need someone to surmise what the Democrats are thinking

[RhodeIslandOne]

30. It depends how many "I'm a far leftist, but don't think Trump's the real problem" idiots....

....are in the crowd.

She seems to attract them.

[MustLoveBeagles]

19. She had little chance winning the nomination before she said this

With this statement she's killed her candidacy.

[Yoopy]

24. Tulsi is pro-Putin and pro-Assad

This is not surprising. In foreign policy, she's pro Trump.

[Tarheel_Dem]

25. I still think she's angling for a cabinet position in the most corrupt administration in history.

I can't believe her constituents are gonna continue to support her after this. Of course, she won't debate her primary opponents in her district, so it wouldn't surprise me at all if she announced that she was switching parties.

[Generic Brad]

34. Things that make you go hmmmm.

This is the third thing she’s done that makes me go hmmmm.

[SilasSouleII]

35. Well lookie here... she now supports impeachment

She was # 225... The dam has truly broken
