Democratic Primaries

(8,090 posts)38. Don't know, but she was a total nobody who is now being discussed...
ad nauseam on cable news and social media. Hillary's comments helped raise her profile. "Fuck Jill Stein" is a popular refrain on DU and if Gabbard runs third-party, guess we'll be hearing the same about her. I just don't see the wisdom in making a total unknown a household name, when that formerly total unknown can pull votes from Democrats, especially Democrats who opposed the invasion of Iraq and other Middle East foreign policy. Maybe Gabbard will garner votes from the Steve Bannon burn-it-all-down contingent, which will hurt Rethugs more than Dems.

If she campaigns for Trump, she won't convince anyone that is not already convinced

If she runs 3rd party as she told FOX she might do, she surely WILL. This is a site for Democrats..
