Never really had a chance.  Not nearly the support or really expansive platform to run.  I guess she improved her visibility and maybe the profile of some of women's issues but I expect a few more in September.

In what way does Tulsi have anything to do with Trump?  Because she's not an interventionist? lol.  Trump is a warmonger just like Kamala.

I don't have strong negative feelings towards Tulsi.  I have zero feelings for her.  I do find it funny that her number one fan in Fozz pushes for Warren to drop out because of a perceived lack of minority support but champions Tulsi after her lack of any support whatsoever.

I wouldn't describe what I feel antipathy as much as apathy. To say that her performance so far hasn't matched the hype would be a massive understatement. 

She had the anti-war lane all to herself and completely squandered it, despite given chances to debate lightweights like Tim Ryan. There are plenty of anti-war democrats who would have given her a second thought, but she chose to appear in the wrong kind of media. With most of the Left digging Liz or Bernie, she chose to go after the male disaffected anti-establishment quasi-libertarian crowd. These people are an already small proportion of the population. LOL if she expected them ever to vote in a Democratic primary. 

She has been strangely subdued in debates and at other public forums. Too often she also showed up in the wrong places. Go on Fox News and do a town hall, like Bernie. Don't go on fucking Tucker Carlson and rail against the DNC. She needed to talk to the voters. Instead, she was just another cable news talking head. As far a controversial candidates go, she was downright boring.

Somewhere on this board I posted after my first time seeing Tulsi interviewed that she struck me as a moron. Nothing I've seein since then has changed my opinion of her.

This is interesting.  Has anyone ever seen Fozz and Tulsi in the same room?  Yep

Appearing on FOX or other right-wing media is only a problem if you don't spread a left message. If you go on FOX to smile and be pleasant and agreeable then yes, you're a tool of hate propaganda. If you go on there and actively combat the messaging of the right, then you're reaching a necessary audience with a necessary message. I don't know what Tulsi did on Tucker, of course.

As for not showing up in the debates, well I think Kamala Harris would disagree with regard to Tulsi's inefficacy there.

The problem with going negative is that while it hurts the person being attacked, it also hurts the attacker.

I wouldn't say that at all.  Tulsi is definitely a little more filled out and curvy, but they're fairly close in stature.  If anything Warren looks like she may have an inch or two on her.

Tulsi is supported by Trumpkins and that's it.  That's all you need to know.  

GTFO

She lied about Kamala's record

She called 2 of the Assad chemical attacks false flags

She runs to whine to Tucker Carlson - the Grand Wizard of Fox News - that the DNC is being mean to her

She criticizes the DNC debate qualifying rules despite them being very transparent of what they are and how to qualify - they didn't trick anyone

She's the Republican's favorite candidate in the primary 

#9429

lol I would say Biden, Harris, and Klobuchar are the most conservative candidates and would run the most conservative administrations.  Some Republicans like Tulsi because she accurately criticized Harris' record in a way that was highly embarrassing to Harris - they don't care that she was hitting Harris from the left.  

Moreover, everyone should immediately question any claims of wrongdoing with respect to some government that the US wishes to topple.  In this particular case, it turns out that the OPCW's fact finding mission were not in total agreement that the Syrian government was responsible for the Douma attack.  Of course, the assessment questioning the finding that the government was responsible was suppressed and was only leaked later to the embarrassment of the OPCW.  

Quote

But a leaked engineering assessment revealed that an expert with the OPCW Fact Finding Mission (FFM) had in fact challenged that conclusion.

The leaked document, authored by Ian Henderson, found that the “dimensions, characteristics and appearance of the cylinders and the surrounding scene of the incidents were inconsistent with what would have been expected in the case of either cylinder having been delivered from an aircraft.”

Accordingly, Henderson wrote, there is “a higher probability that both cylinders were manually placed at those two locations rather than being delivered from aircraft.” Henderson’s conclusion suggests that the attack was in fact staged on the ground. 

Henderson’s work was excluded from the OPCW’s final report to the UN Security Council on March 1, 2019. It remained unknown until it was leaked to a group of UK-based academics known as the Working Group on Syria, Propaganda and Media (WGSPM) in May.

The crying/whining from candidates and their supporters about being treated unfairly is getting really old. And it's only going to get worse.

anyone on Surly have Biden as their #1?  Since he's the national leader, has to be someone here.

Who do y’all think Andrew Yang is drawing support away from? 

I’m thinking Bernie, Warren, Pete, and Beto

Pretty much all the good ones. 

I have no evidence to back this up except an armchair eyeball test.

Pete and Bernie based on what I've seen. 

The #YangGang is going to be a disaster when he eventually drops out. The conspiratorial nature of his diehard fans will leave a mess of shit behind.

Yang's gameplan should be to just constantly talk about the Freedom Dividend, which is the biggest policy idea outside of M4A and the Green New Deal.

Gotta make sure not to give Biden too much time to talk.  

The time limit measured in seconds to complex issues like climate change, healthcare, and corruption is everything wrong with America today.

#9439

Spoiler alert: 

Warren will cruise. Biden will stumble. Bernie will take and throw some punches. 

No one else will really move the needle. 

 

Still too many people on the debate stage with limited speaking time. Most of the "conservative" Ds didn't make this debate, so I don't see too many orchestrated attacks outside of going after Biden (and probably Bernie).  Warren will continue to take cover behind BT's grandpa. 

 

 

#9440

Look for the media to exploit the Warren vs Biden showdown for ratings.  Bernie is going to have to fight hard in this one.  It will be challenging for him without coming off as the angry old man, but he can do it.

Not sure who is going to be going after Bernie really hard with who is left.

No Delaney, Bennett, Hickenlooper, Ryan, or Bullock.

I don't think any will go "really hard" against Bernie. But Uncle Joe will get picked on so much that he'll probably direct some shade towards Bernie. I hope he fails miserably.

Very nice of them to put Pete next to the man he has admired since high school

EDIT: They stood next to each other at last debate.
