Imagine that, Mueller report is not forthcoming in the next two weeks nor is he winding down. Looks like NY is bringing charges on Manafort and that may be why documents were sent out. Trump can put his s***ting pants back on while we all wait for the Manafort sentencing memo to drop.
I agree assuming you mean so she can get an opponent in her next primary and then get thrown out of office
She has no love for Assad, she's right to say he's not a threat to national security. It's not our place to keep going in and trying to replace one dictator with another, it NEVER works in our favor and the people in those countries just end up worse off.
Plus the history of being anti gay.
Being propped up by Russia should be a red flag.
The most conservative out of all the candidates.
She isn't to be taken seriously. She is there to sow discord.
He was gassing his own people. he should be taken out, not dealt with. I will hold my opinion on Gabbard for the moment but when I hear she is an islamaphobe, against the Iran deal, thought kindly of by Steve Bannon, and not even endorsed by her home state democratic governor, than I tend to look elsewhere for a candidate.
She doesn't seem to want to be involved in nation building and regime change in other countries and I agree with that, we need to get our country sorted out before we worry about taking care of other people. Repubs and some Dems always seem to think there is plenty of money for war and "humanitarian" intervention in other countries yet they won't commit to making sure people in our own country have healthcare because they say we can't afford it.
She has had problematic issues in the past like her old views on gay rights etc but she was very young then and has clearly changed so on those issues people should just leave them in the past and focus on her actions of the present. I'm not saying she's perfect or that she's my choice but she does deserve to get the same amount of attention as the coffee guy who hasn't even committed to running yet.
I do realize that there is usually a vacuum left when we "liberate" a population. However we made a commitment to NATO after WW2 and if we don't keep our interests keen in foreign policy, then we would be subjected to a Russian compromised Europe and Middle East. Our world economy would suffer and then everybody will be manufacturing nuclear war heads. Nothing that any of us wants. (unless you're a stupid MAGAT).
As far as Tulsi is concerned. I will give her the benefit of the doubt but when your top campaign manager leaves just after you announce your candidacy, there is a problem. Oddly, there isn'tt much news on her at all since the beginning of this month. I do hope she sticks with it even though the free press seems to have written her off.
And as yankeessuck said, she may be only there to sow discord. I would'nt put it past the GOP super pacs financing that campaign to drive a wedge into the dem party ala Trump's almost run vs Pat Buchanan's Reform Party in 2000 to help Bush win.

She literally on CNN during the shutdown and blamed both sides. That should almost be disqualifying right there.
The only group that has celebrated her running is Russian controlled media
The anti gay thing was when she was in her late teens and it was based on what her father was teaching her, her voting record is totally the opposite of what she said back in those days so I'm willing to forgive and forget that.
Propped up by Russia? they are glad she's not wanting to get involved in Syria they don't like her they just like that she doesn't want to fight a war against someone they support.
She's not the most conservative, hell she supports medicare for all which is something Klobuchar is against.
It's one thing if you are defending a country from an invasion by another but when it's an internal issue I think we should stay out of it, the people we back always end up worse than the ones we take out.
She said her personal beliefs haven't changed just a couple years ago and she is to the right of Hillary
Her voting record is as good as it gets when it comes to gay rights and she has apologized many times already for her past beliefs, If you watch the interview I put up a few posts back she addresses that pretty clearly.
Well luckily this really doesn't matter as she has no shot and it be very difficult to find a worse dem candidate.
But David Duke and Steve Bannon like her so at least she has that
