(32,094 posts)The video of his weekly appearance will probably be up on the show's YouTube page sometime today. Toward the end, Stephanie asked him about Gabbard. He had NOTHING nice to say about her, and called her a "Glenn Greenwald Libertarian." He basically called her a "wolf in sheep's clothing."

(10,842 posts)to be a spoiler, much like Jill Stein. And this additional tidbit means her campaign is toxic to boot. Browder is well respected, except by the Russians.
This isn't 2016. Gabbard is going nowhere.

(8,020 posts)if they know how to legally game the system which is easy to do. Not saying this may be a motive for her, I really don't know much about her, but it happens, Just ask many of the con Senators who have made 100's of thousands doing so. Look how much tRump made just off his inaugural fund. Its also a way of bribing politicians.

(13,438 posts)Her job may simply be to run for a while then end her campaign at some point, then renounce membership in the Democratic Party because theyve become too extreme. Her criticism of Hirono and others Re: Senate questioning was suspect, and this adds to it.

(297,704 posts)in questioning judicial nominee
It is unfortunate that Congresswoman Gabbard based her misguided opinion on the far-right wing manipulation of these straightforward questions, Hirono spokesman Will Dempster said in a statement.
He added that over the past two years, Hirono has been attacked by right wing ideologues for her examination of Donald Trumps ideologically-driven nominees to the courts.
Senator Hirono asks all judicial nominees particularly those who have expressed very strong personal ideological views in conflict with Supreme Court precedent if they can be fair, Dempster said. She asked Mr. Buescher, who has a clear record of anti-choice activism, whether he could separate his personal beliefs from decisions he would make if confirmed for a lifetime appointment on the federal bench.
