Among Democrats, 93% blame Trump/Republicans for the shutdown. 5% blame Democrats.

Yesterday Gabbard blamed both sides while talking to Jake Tapper.
While I haven't seen no polling on Assad, I think it's safe to assume that Democrats oppose Pro-Russia dictators who gas children. Yet Tulsi Gabbard expressed no regrets yesterday for loving him.
I would like to know whether you think Tulsi Gabbard wants to become the Democratic nominee, or is she trying to achieve something else?

(53,776 posts)She actually said on the Tapper interview that blame for the shut down is on both sides.
The use of that "both sides" phrase is a huge tip off that she's not working for us.
