Tulsi Gabbard Tag

Russia, Russia, Russia! Failed Democrat presidential candidate Hillary Clinton claimed Russia is "grooming" 2020 Democratic presidential candidate Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) to be a spoiler in the election. Instead of gaining support, Hillary has become a laughingstock. Gabbard's 2020 opponents even came to her defense against the once-beloved Democrat.

In politics as in all things, glory can be fleeting. After the first Democratic debate in late June, the MSM and liberal political commentators treated Sen. Kamala Harris (CA) like the invincible presidential candidate. Her polling numbers rose significantly after she broadsided frontrunner Joe Biden in the opening round. She also saw a nice boost in fundraising. But the last two months have seen the Harris campaign endure an embarrassing freefall. Her polling numbers have tanked, she's lost a significant amount of support from key Democratic voting blocs, and was on the receiving end of a brutal smackdown from Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (HI) at the second debate over her troubling criminal justice record.

After the first Democratic presidential debate in June, Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) became a top contender. She successfully broadsided frontrunner Joe Biden over his remarks about busing and working with segregationist Senators in a moment that was clearly staged, and landed a body blow that helped her campaign funding and poll numbers rise. But while we political junkies were anxious to find out if we'd see more fireworks between Harris and Biden in Round Two Wednesday night, something unexpected happened.

Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) wrote a scathing op-ed, which was published in The Hill Tuesday, in which she lambasted lawmakers who questioned US district judicial nominee Brian Buescher about his affiliation with the Catholic organization, Knights of Columbus. While Rep. Gabbard never mentioned Sen. Hirono by name, the only two Senators to have made an issue of Buescher's participation in the Knights of Columbus were Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) and Sen. Mazie Hirono (D-HI).

There are a few Democrats who think that since President Donald Trump won in November 2016 then maybe they can, too. After all, how did a man with no political experience beat the all mighty Hillary Clinton?! So a handful of politicians that not a lot of people have heard of believe they have a chance to take on Trump in 2020, including mayors and congressmen "low on the seniority totem pole."

Debbie Wasserman Schultz is not having a good time this cycle. She's facing protests at every turn over her decision to limit the number of officially sanctioned Democratic primary debates, and now her own colleagues are once again lining up to throw her under the bus. Everyone from presidential candidate Martin O'Malley to Nancy Pelosi has accused DWS of terrible leadership and bad decisionmaking. O'Malley even accused her of "rigging" the debate cycle to promote a Hillary Clinton ticket---as did an entire MSNBC panel. Remember? If reports from some Democratic members are to be believed, DWS is getting serious about squashing dissent in the ranks.
