    If the rest of Trump's Supporters are as heavily on the Tulsi Bandwagon as some in this thread, then 130,000 of them should donate to Tulsi to get her a spot.

    Problem solved. :salute:

    You are so sad and desperate with your deflection and false narrative.

    It does! The DNC are well-known cheaters and fixers.

    Here is one of their top dummies:

    Agreed. However its not her time. I hope to see her ease up on the gun control by 2024 so I can vote for our first woman president after another 4 years of Trump :)

    Tulsi just body slammed her during the debate - which was kind of fun to watch.

    Harris would be a disaster as the nominee yet she is in the next debate and Gabbard is likely not.

    DNC is clearly not interested in progressive independent voices especially when they are as competent and well-spoken as Gabbard.

    Obama had several challengers and some actually won some counties but none even came close to winning and delegates. Why should the GOP waste time and money on a primary for the Pres and VP when no one stands a chance and they choose to run Trump? Primaries are for the benefit of the Party.

    The Committee can set rules but the party is public and anyone can join. The committee should serve the democratic process not set arbitrary rules for participation.

    By setting arbitrary limits on participation in debates, they are giving advantage to the candidates favoured by corporate donors and shutting down powerful alternative voices. Candidates should have the choice to drop out if they do not have the funding or support.

    Hillary and Bernie at last years debates all over again. If we end up with Biden, it could easily mean 4 more years of Trump.

    When the GOP starts inventing dossiers and taking them to the FBI, wake us up.

    You guys who have the right to vote in a Democratic
    Arty primary better think this through. First of all you have too many candidates to choose from. I

    Here are facts:

    -A woman will not beat Trump even if one gets the primary. Why you ask? Hilary ruined it for woman for a while
    - A " Prtson of Color will not beat the Trumpocity in the general. Not Obma's fault but everyone expected Obama to have magic and donawaybwith race relations problem. He could do so much and he made a couple FUBARS...
    - Kampala Harris had two strikes against her ( person of color and a woman) then she added strike three going after Biden for going what he had to do by work with the dregs of politics.
    - Warren is one whacky tacky far out leftist almost a socialists. I forgot but is she a woman also
    - Sen Kobuchar is a really nice lady and that is the one thing that makes her a liability
    - Bernie is only a Democrat every four yearste rest of the time he is a socialist. A socialist is not going to eat a Trumpocity.
    - Guiligrand the blonde is a bimbo
    - If you have not noticed Butrertege is gay. A gay is not going to get moninated of beat anyone in a primary.

    - The rest are just ghosts
