She won’t win, she has the reputation of being anti Muslim, I’m.not saying it’s true, but it’s what’s associated with her.

See, that’s the problem with Democrats.

Rather than voting for a candidate for their policies or principles they fret over ‘how they might feel’ about Muslims.

She's branded a a 'Hindi Nationalist'. Doesn't mean much here. But the 'Hare Krishna' would certainly disqualify here from Voters perception as someone that begs for change at Airports ... along with the 'stoned-out chanting.

The question is why/how could this woman have such low numbers in a primary? She wouldn’t have gotten Trump supporters but she would have gotten many voters who liked Trump’s policies but couldn’t stand Trump. Plus Democrats.

I was afraid of her. Biden, Bernie and the rest, not so much.

In retrospect she’s looking pretty good.

As I see it, if you're on the left and you want to vote anti-establishment you go with Bernie and that's what many Democratic voters did.

I don't get the Trump/Gabbard policy comparisons. She's basically a socialist. She supports much of what Bernie does. She's on the far left.

Purely anecdotal but because of where I grew up and where I live I have a lot of (very) liberal friends. Following these people on social media I can't recall a single one claiming to like or support Gabbard. You wouldn't even hear her name mentioned. Those folks were/are all into Bernie.

I would use this analogy. Remember how there were liberals in '16 telling Republicans that Kasich was our best candidate? And of course to many Republicans that was even more reason not to support him. I have to imagine it's no different for liberals when Trump supporters say they should support Gabbard.

Sorry, that has a lot to do with some policy and principles, in a big way. It’s funny you wouldn’t realize that.

I said Gabbard was easily the best candidate out of the bunch during the democrats primaries. She eviscerated Kamala in the one debate. I was right. Gabbard was a real threat to Trump even without all the election fortification shenanigans. IOW, in a fair race she was a threat to Trump.

Gabbard wouldn’t have eviscerated Trump’s border policy and she has the military sense to know when she’s being bullshitted on Afghanistan by the Generals and our worthless intelligence community.

But you got played by the elites by voting for their man Biden. Gabbard eviscerates them in the clip.

Listen to me next time.

Bernie would have been a total disaster, even worse than Biden.

So let's me get this right.... Trump wanted to pull the plug on the MICC and Biden did it for him and people whined?

I don't get it?

No question. God help us all if he became President. To each his own of course but it’s why I don’t understand the support from people on the right for Gabbard. She’s a socialist too.

What does being a socialist even mean?

I don't remember much from her campaign that I would call socialist......

I see her as pragmatic, the realities of office would have changed her views.
