(5,969 posts)First, it already starts with the surprising claim that she has been a Dem all her life...
Then, it was almost immediately clarified that it's the Repubs and not the Russians who might be grooming Gabbard for the third party run. As for internet support, it's a fact that Russian bots support her and that she's among one of very few who get positive coverage from them which stands in contrast to pretty much every other Dem.
There might be a chance for Gabbard to be treated as other candidates if she weren't so openly hostile to the party. It couldn't be more clearer that she is going for the anti-Dem votes, bashing the party left and right. Her support from Dems has collapsed by her own doing with her unhinged response to Clinton. Instead it's Repubs who keep her alive in the polls to qualify.
With all her baggage, she's still looking for fights, slandering the Democratic party right at the start and then being stupid enough to attack Pete with an out of context quote only to get demolished. But I'm sure she'll run to Hannity and Carlson again to bash the Democratic party more because that is what a normal Dem does.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
