    I highly doubt you could find 1 out of 100 republicans who honestly believes that Trump is christian. He's christian like american blacks are african-americans. Never been to church/africa, couldn't list an apostle/country, and when the subject of the ten commandments is raised, Trump would probably say something like "Charlton Heston was very very wonderful in that movie".

    You're just babbling absolute non-sense. Tulsi Gabbard is a Progressive.... and you hate her, and are looking to cast her out. It's weird.

    You put an absolute empty suit in Obama in office and want to make those claims. He had ZERO accomplishments going in and very little to show coming out.

    lol... like Trump is some real Christian. He is backed because he doesn't attack the Christians and supports their beliefs, but he clearly is not much of one. Try again.

    Perhaps because she is pro choice and favors same sex marriage?

    Your concern about "fairness" in Democratic primaries is HILARIOUS in light of the Republican party TODAY.

    TODAY, the RNC has CANCELED primaries in several states!!

    Are you supporting Republicans in this supremely anti-democratic act?

    She may have a good case against Google, but I don't see a conspiracy here. I like gabbard and could probably voe for her with minimal nose holding, but maybe her campaign hasn't gained traction because:

    a) She hasn't made her presence felt in Iowa. Yeah, I know ... why does Iowa have so much sway? But they do, and she spent less time there than the currently top rated candidates.

    b) She has zero charisma. I actually like boring candidates with strong work ethics, but that's just me. The average American voter wants someone exciting and/or controversial, which is what we have now. I'm one of the few who would really love a slow news day.

    Looking for a conspiracy here is nonsensical. The reason is likely much simpler.

    No. I don't like it. But, the Republicans are nowhere near the corruption of the Democratic Party primaries. Your comparison is a joke.

    Naw, that ain't it. It's that most of us on the left got rid of our tin foil hats when we grew up.

    :D

    Tulsi was my girl. It would be comedy gold to see her destroy Trump in a debate.

    But let's stop pretending that Trumpublicans would suddenly decide to be somewhat conservative again and vote for her over their Messiah.

    Was? She has a real shot at the next debate and she has won every debate she has been in.

    Trumpiblicans likely would not, but Conservatarians, Independents, etc... would give her consideration. They will not give it to the current lot of Democrats.

    Because there are always new problems? Just a guess.

    What does someone with power want more than anything else? To stay in power. Both parties are so focused on keeping their jobs that they don't have time to do their jobs.

    Oh I agree. Unless she runs independent, looks like I'll be voting Libertarian or Green or not voting at all.

    HB Surfer ... I'm guessing that makes you an Orange County boy, living in what was long Dana Rohrabacher's district. I lived in Huntington Beach for many years myself. It took a long, long time, but we finally got that pos voted out. I can't say I think much of Rouda, but anyone by then was better than that fat old phony, Dana, one of Moscow's favorite "useful idiots."

    Because you may be applying the same opinion about her that you have for the group. Democrats in this case.

    There are those of us who wonder how the people see Trump as a Republican.

    I am confused how anyone who believes to be even slightly conservative would even consider supporting him.

    Trump if asked about the Ten ommandment will say " I like them all".

    The problem is she can get the women vote. I think this may be the reason.

    I am sure Fox news is negotiating with her. She fits right in!

    I think you're making a complex conspiracy theory out of something much simpler: regardless of credentials, the averahe American voter wants to LIKE a candidate, and Gabbard is too unassuming to make herself likeable.

    You've made some seriously ridiculous claims here, with no proof to back them up:

    "Hillary Clinton's team have ensured that she will not have any traction." What team? Who do you mean, exactly? What have the done, specifically, to block or obstruct Gabbard?

    "The dirty tricks against her this cycle were rotten." What tricks? Please be specific as to who, what, and when.

    "They even got Google into the act to shut her down after she won the first debate." Prove that the Democratic Party instructed Google to do anything, ever. And where do you get that she won the first debate? She said very little, which I blame on the moderators, who are not officers of the Democratic Party. Perhaps you're confused -- it was the second debate when she took Harris to task for her record as a DA in California (which IMO was the highlight of the evening -- I can't stand Harris, she's a phony with a mean streak).

    "Tusli will forever been blacklisted by Democrats and scumbags like TYT." What blaclist? Please link to that. And who is TYT?

    "Note: Liz is on the Clinton train." -- Where do you get that? Just because Warren and Clinton are acquainted and haven't trashed each other publicly, they're on a train together? Really?

    Either you can back these statements up, or they are just your opinions and you should say so.

    I'm sure you can tell me who Obama debated for his 2nd run at POTUS during the primaries?

    Oh, please. Do you really think women voters are that shallow? Perhaps you didn't intend to be sexist here, but you certainly sound like it, just sayin'.

    No one ran against him in 2012 primaries. The difference here is that a few actual Republicans have officially thrown their hats in the ring, only to have them tromped on by the RNC.
