Tulsi's strategy...

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by EarlG (a host of the General Discussion forum).

Bash Hillary Clinton to make all the Trump voters think she's the only Democrat they can stomach. When she loses the nomination, Putin will fund her campaign as a Green or Independent like he did Jill Stein. That'll give delusional Trump voters someone to throw their vote away on, but take enough votes from the Democratic frontrunner to make it close enough to steal it for Trump again. I'm thinking maybe we shouldn't all be jumping on Tulsi G's back and calling attention to her, providing increased name recognition. Maybe I'm just being a nervous Nelllie, but I don't trust any of them.

Hilary was right when she thought Gabbard is being groomed by Putin to run as an Independent and take votes away from the Democratic candidate.

2. By calling her out now, it undercuts any plan she may have had to run as a 3rd party candidate.

It'd be far worse if nothing was said until after she launched a campaign.

Don’t even let her (or anyone else who tries the 3rd-party gambit) even get a toehold.

14. Based off of the twitter feeds, it seems like they're Republicans who say they could vote for her.

I agree with you but this thread will probably get locked by the mods. I'd post it in the Democratic Primaries Forum.

Call her out early, she and her minions were forced to react thus exposing her and them. This is what a leader does. Now we do everything in our power to neutralize her.
