1. Tusli Who?

[Mike Nelson]

2. Apparently...

... Hillary hit a nerve. I suspect we should heed her warning.

[Hassler]

3. Clinton isn't running, Gabbard is and if she wants to win, she's not helping her campaign

If she wants to win.

[Hekate]

46. More and more I think she is running as a disruptor rather than as someone who thinks she'll be...

..president. She "wins" if the Dem candidates lose.

[Eyeball_Kid]

57. The problem is,

There may be a lot of "rightfulness" in what Gabbard expresses, especially with foreign policy. Were we to give a good listen to what the details of her perspective are, we might find a lot of areas of agreement. But Gabbard is running for national office. And because she is taking unconventional stands on issues, she can only be very detailed and forthcoming about her views if she is to survive well into the primary season.

It's possible to have a set of beliefs that run parallel to the foreign policy objectives of Russia without ever conferring with anyone directly or indirectly connected to Russia. If that's Gabbard's dilemma, she'd better be upfront about it.

4. This.. I'm not sure gabbard knows.. just lashing out.. Protesting way too much!

5. What is wrong with this woman?

Someone needs to remind her that Hillary isn’t running for president, never has been president, and never had the power to single handedly determine American foreign policy.

What a completely weird video.

[Cha]

9. It's "clear" to gabbard that the "primary is between you and me"

TG has found and latched on to her "boogie person".

[madaboutharry]

13. All she has done is insure she'll lose to Mr. Kahele.

I think I’ll send him another donation.

[Cha]

16. Mahalo, madaboutharry!

[emmaverybo]

29. Delusional! Did not know enough about her to know she is a loonIe.

[Cha]

33. Well, the things she supported and people she "Smeared"

were enough for me before Hillary unleashed the Kraken.. but, I'm in her District so I've been paying attention for too long..

But, now she's totally outing herself to make sure everyone knows!

[Cha]

66. Ahem..

19. Well, however Tulsi gets her talking points out, her fans all say the same thing.

It's verbatim what I hear people who like Tulsi Gabbard say. How they completely removed Obama/Biden from the equation is beyond me.

[MontanaMama]

6. Oh Tulski.

Go home. Every time you tweet, I donate to Kai Kahele. I’m making a game out of it and it is fun! Ka Ching for Kai!

11. Brava and Mahalo, MontanaMama! the people of Hawaii

Appreciate that so Much!

[MontanaMama]

12. Happy to do it Cha!

It is fun and Tulsi needs to GTFO of Congress. The sooner the better.

[Cha]

15. It would be so Karmic Just Desserts

if this actually does happens! It's not like she hasn't brought it on herself.

She's the one who "smears".. this is her last Democratic opponent in 2018..

I think she'll get blasted if she tries that with Kai Kahele.

[emmaverybo]

31. LOL, Tulski!

[StarfishSaver]

7. And people wonder why anyone would think she's a Russian favorite

8. Gabbard Does think she's running against Hillary.. It's "Clear" to her..

10. When was Hillary president?

Oh wait, she is behind the curtain on her throne doing PROXIES.

[JoeOtterbein]

14. I don't get why so many Dems are smearing Tulsi without a bit of proof of anything she did wrong.

Because Russia "thinks" they can get her to collude with them, does not mean she is.

[Dem4Life1102]

17. Could have fooled me

[Claritie Pixie]

20. What is it that you "get" about Dems "smearing" her?

I am not clear on your point.

[JoeOtterbein]

21. Many Dems, including Hillary, have been implying Tulsi is an Russian asset.

[Claritie Pixie]

22. And...what I asked was...what do you "get" about that?

[JoeOtterbein]

24. Uh?

[Claritie Pixie]

25. You said:

"I get why so many Dems are smearing Tulsi without a bit of proof of anything she did wrong"

What do you get?

[JoeOtterbein]

27. Ok now I know. Edit will say "I don't get"

Thanks for the heads up!

[Claritie Pixie]

32. No problem.

And about the smearing, I pay attention what Tulsi says and does. It's apparent to me she is not on the up and up.

[JoeOtterbein]

34. Agreed on suspicion. Not yet a probable cause enough to attack.

Thanks again!

[emmaverybo]

35. That aside, what's with thinking "the race" is between herself and Hillary? She could not possibly

really think that, so who is she reaching out to that either thinks that or can be manipulated into
thinking that?
Something is very wrong here with or without Russians.

[JoeOtterbein]

36. Agreed. I don't understand why Hillary got involved. Any ideas?

[emmaverybo]

40. I see what you did there. I think Hillary believes what she has warned of. But Hillary has not

claimed to be running against Gabbard. Gabbard claims to be running against Hillary. Metaphorically speaking I guess

[JoeOtterbein]

42. I was thinking that maybe Hillary may get in the race.

Start with an "easy" target first. To warm up a bit.

[emmaverybo]

44. I don't think Tulsi Gabbard really meant that the Democratic primary has come down to a

race between herself and Hillary, do you? That is just not sane.

[Hekate]

47. Curious thing to say. I'll remember you said it.

Thanks.

[JoeOtterbein]

48. So? I'm not sure what you are condemning me to!

[Hekate]

51. Oh, your words of wisdom are so wise that I will remwmber it was you who said it.

What else would I mean? Tell me.

[JoeOtterbein]

52. Thanks!

[58Sunliner]

63. You have unusual syntax. Is English your first language?

[58Sunliner]

58. Thanks, that was funny.

[DanTex]

43. She didn't "get involved."

She made an offhand speculative comment during a podcast. It's not much a secret that Tulsi is shady and Russian media loves her (as does FOX).

[JoeOtterbein]

50. When it's on the evening news; it's getting involved.

[DanTex]

54. Which means the evening news involved Hillary. Hillary didn't "get involved."

Hillary didn't go on the evening news. She went on a podcast that nobody had ever heard of before this. On that podcast, she stated an opinion: she thinks Tulsi is being groomed for a third party run. She's probably right about that.

But she didn't say that to "get involved". She said it because she was talking to David Plouffe about the 2020 election.

[JoeOtterbein]

55. So of course it was on the news because she said it. That's how it works.

Sorry!

[DanTex]

59. OK, but she didn't "get involved". She gave her opinion on a podcast.

[JoeOtterbein]

61. Agreed. I'm guilty of poor semantics.

Sorry! I hope you knew what I meant!

[Cha]

64. Thank Goodnes Hillary outted Gabbard!

[betsuni]

45. Because all the other candidates are her proxies. They are Hillary's puppets.

So the race is essentially between Gabbard and Hillary. That "the establishment will stop at nothing to defeat us" nonsense. Where Bernie fits in, I'm not sure.

[Cha]

28. There's No "smear" going on here except for.. Gabbard

smearing herself.

38. Good lord...she responds right out of the russian troll playbook...

[Cha]

41. Yeah, and we're Not suppose to notice.

[phleshdef]

71. Ugh, I know she shouldn't do it and it would just make things worst but...

...I kinda wanna see Hillary go on Kimmell or Colbert or wherever, and read that whole little tweet storm with all the name calling and stuff. But she has to act it out like she is Maleficent or some similar, fitting character. Because that whole thing is so funny when I read it. I couldn't even get mad about it because it was too hilarious in an embarrassing way for Tulsi. I'm sure Hillary feels the same.

[phleshdef]

70. Tulsi has a VERY RECENT HISTORY of doing and saying some really questionable things.

I've said this in another thread but she would go on Fox and other places during the part of the Obama years that she was in office and use right wing, Islamophobic language to attack Obama on foreign policy. She has supported some awful people, in India and elsewhere. She voted against the Magnistky act.

And she is always so intense. I've seen her smile but I don't think I've ever seen her laugh. On top of everything I just said about her, she really has an odd demeanor.

[pnwmom]

18. This is a slam on OBAMA. Hillary was carrying out OBAMA's foreign policy.

And Tulsi knows it. She's continuing to act as an asset for the Russia/Republican party.

[yuiyoshida]

23. Is she really a Democrat cause from what I have seen here at DU

She seems to be wavering back and forth between RED and BLUE.

Hoarse!

37. My favorite is that this is like Clint Eastwood talking to an empty chair.

39. +1

[Eyeball_Kid]

60. I want to give Gabbard the benefit of the doubt. But this tweet is a disaster for her. n/t

[Hekate]

49. That young lady is a piece of work

[Anon-C]

53. Damn I watched it.

[betsuni]

62. ...

Wait, now you made ME watch it!

[ecstatic]

68. Lol! Now you have to share before the 7 days is up!

Sorry guys!

[58Sunliner]

56. I'm beginning to think she is a jealous narcissist and needs treatment.Anything for attention.

Enough with the soft focus lens-nothing wrong with showing your mileage.

69. Tulsi's Hillary "Shadow Presidency" fail

It seems that Gabbard has been coming across as just another right-wing tool using Hillary Clinton as a foil in an effort to make Trump look good. Any failed foreign policy (or successful one for that matter) is the ownership of the presidency under which it occurs. With that in mind, is Hillary being re-cast as a surrogate Obama, or, since Tulsi doesn't bother to say much about the current 3-ring horror show currently in progress, is her diatribe yet another distraction to get the focus off Trump? By now, Hillary knows what Republican rat-fucking is all about, having been a prime target for three decades. She damn well knows a rat when she sees one, and her pre-emptive comments against Gabbard are well-timed, and hopefully effective advance warning if and when Tulsi makes a third-party move in an effort to sabotage the Democratic nominee.

72. I stand with Hillary Clinton
