2020 Presidential Race

[zeppelin128]

She seems like a solid candidate. A centrist type. would appeal to a lot. Probably being snuffed out by her own party...If she came to be known, she'd walk right past Biden and Warren.

I would prefer Tulsi over several others.

I would prefer Tulsi over several others.

I might vote for her in the primary.

I might vote for her in the primary.

If that is who you like, go for it.

 

[FLVOL_79]

I thought the WW3 was after the 2016 election..Weird..

 

[hog88]

If that is who you like, go for it.

Her stance on gun control is a hindrance.

 

[LouderVol]

Her stance on gun control is a hindrance.

I would say most of her policies I like or agree with. But there are several "heck nos"

I couldn't vote for her in the general but the primary is still an option if she is still in it.

 

[SpaceCoastVol]

She isn't very well known, and the field is too crowded for her to get any traction.

She is not the MSM choice.

 

[LouderVol]

As I am remembering she is typically very pro rights, but then you get to guns and I think something else, and it completely goes against the reasoning she uses elsewhere.

At least she at least brings up weakening the feds too.

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

I would prefer Tulsi over several others.

No you wouldn't.........you're a Pete man through & through. Can't fool me zep..

 

[zeppelin128]

No you wouldn't.........you're a Pete man through & through. Can't fool me zep..

I said several others, not all of them. I would never vote for Tulsi over Pete.

 

[zeppelin128]

Her stance on gun control is a hindrance.

She is more moderate on gun control than most of the other candidates. But yeah, you'll have difficulty finding a Democrat that agrees with you on gun control

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

I can read......I saw the "several others" part. You'll die on that Pete hill. But he'll get out sometime next year.

 

[hog88]

She is more moderate on gun control than most of the other candidates. But yeah, you'll have difficulty finding a Democrat that agrees with you on gun control

Hence they will never earn my vote.

 

[AM64]

So we are wasting our time worrying about climate change? Here we were thinking it would be something like Bruce Willis and a few other guys trying to save the world, and all it takes is to put dims back in office. We need to see this guy's plan,

[AM64]

For the life of me, I cannot understand how Tulsi Gabbard is so far behind on the Dem ticket. She might would be the only one they have that would cause me to re-think my vote.

Tulsi Gabbard confirms she will participate in October debate after 'seriously considering' boycotting it

That's why she is so far behind. Reasonable people might vote for her ... which excludes dims.

 

[AM64]

It's bad when they start talking like him.

Real bad. Trump speak is like a NY valley girl. Absurd for a successful adult to use his type speech.

 

[GVF]

IF, and I say IF, I were to jump ship and vote Dem, that's the only candidate they have I would cast a vote for. I'm not against doing that for the right candidate. As long as they are not extreme. No way I could vote for pretty much any of the others. Too far left. GOP would have to already control both chambers before I could vote too left of center.

To be honest, I've never paid much attention to the candidates excepts tidbits here and there and a little followup on VN comments, so I don't know much about Tulsi. She seems to be a lot more reasonable than the other candidates, but not centrist enough to switch parties like some of us wished Jim Webb might do. There actually are people out there that many of us might vote for without holding our nose, but they aren't going to be a candidate selected by either party. I've wondered how Rex Tillerson might be as president, for example; but I image the left would vote against him as a bloc; and he would't inspire like a Reagan or a Trump ... so probably a likable, capable, unelectable kind of guy. I can't see a reasonable candidate for president being a participant in the freak show that we call an election.

I agree. I've watched these liberal tools completely derail their campaigns by jumping on the left wing "vote for me and everything is free" mantra. Tulsi Gabbard messed up by not being a Republican where her more moderate voice might be heard.

I think her as VP to Amash would be a killer ticket. Both actually represent what "their" party is supposed to represent. They would run policy train over any other ticket. If you could keep the masses attention on that.

But they are both outsiders, and Amash is smart enough not to run for president.

She'd never get elected in Hawaii with an (R) by her name.

I know less about him. It seems like Tulsi is too centrist for the left and too left for the GOP. The pendulum has been hammered so hard there's just no moderate middle, and right now probably no real interest in a moderate middle. A lot of the problem stems from the fact that elections aren't serious debates about issues; they are reality TV. I guess if that's what you feed an electorate; you wind up with the quality of contestants that we have.

Most politicians are carpetbaggers anyway and move to the most favorable place to get elected.
