The lulz was for you and that alleged "liberal" lobster calling her "too radical" and "too extreme".
So, how is she "too extreme...Blech"?
Too extreme to the left. National minimum wage doubling, elimination of private health insurance altogether, free 600 a month for anyone under 100,000, etc.
That's extreme relative to me, not the vocal Democratic base. Like I said, they'd love her.
"They'd love her" is pretty broad at this point. There's something to like and something not to like about virtually all of the top tier of Dem candidates at this point. In addition to the pile of in my opinion far too extreme platform issues she has, Warren just bugs me; I don't know how best to describe it. It's not her being a woman, I have no problem with that. Frankly, I'd prefer to have a female President; all this macho, testosterone driven BS is nauseating. Her mannerisms and speech patterns just makes me anxious and uncomfortable. I have similar issues with thin, twitchy, anxious, higher pitched men.
Maybe because they both act a bit like whiny and "we're oppressed" types.

I dont know. Maybe. People who come off as twitchy and high anxiety just make me uncomfortable.

The media isn't going to support Gabbard because she is the only one pushing back against our wars overseas. This is why I like her the most. Some sources claim her name was the most searched after the 1st debate (not sure valid these sources are).
So, since it's 2019 and we're still talking about busing, because we have no idea how to develop integration in housing, and because it wasn't busing that integrated the South, it was football, and because as Democrats we need new ideas, I've come up with one.
That the first candidate to offer to set up an entirely new cabinet level department called "Sports," that will emphasize opportunities for all kinds of kids to come together through sports, will get my vote. Note, he/she must also commit to hiring Nick Sabin to head up that department. It would give Sabin a way to finally get out of Alabama and even though he's kind of an awful person in many ways, he has a record of making black athletes more comfortable at white campuses in the Deep South, which makes him kind of a miracle worker.

I'd imagine that's a combination of her looks and, well, what Avenue Q says the internet is for.
So you're saying Leawood was responsible.

Anyone who does an interview with Tucker Carlson should be eliminated from consideration.

The Russian propaganda machine that tried to influence the 2016 U.S. election is now promoting the presidential aspirations of a controversial Hawaii Democrat who earlier this month declared her intention to run for president in 2020.
...Since Gabbard announced her intention to run on Jan. 11, there have been at least 20 Gabbard stories on three major Moscow-based English-language websites affiliated with or supportive of the Russian government: RT, the Russian-owned TV outlet; Sputnik News, a radio outlet; and Russia Insider, a blog that experts say closely follows the Kremlin line. The CIA has called RT and Sputnik part of "Russia's state-run propaganda machine."
All three sites celebrated Gabbard's announcement, defended her positions on Russia and her 2017 meeting with Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad, and attacked those who have suggested she is a pawn for Moscow. The coverage devoted to Gabbard, both in news and commentary, exceeds that afforded to any of the declared or rumored Democratic candidates despite Gabbard's lack of voter recognition.
...While some of her stances appeal to the left, she has also angered the party's liberal base with her past positions on same sex marriage, abortion and guns. Just weeks after Donald Trump's upset victory over Hillary Clinton, she met with the president-elect at Trump Tower.
But Gabbard's most controversial position and the one where she's most in line with Russian interests is on Syria. She's accused the U.S. of pushing a policy of "regime change" wars and in January 2017, she met with Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad in Syria on what she called a "fact-finding mission."
RT began defending Gabbard as soon as she announced. A behavioral science expert who studies social media tweeted out a vow on Jan. 11 to start a GoFundMe campaign to finance a reporting trip to Gabbard's Hawaii district. Reporters for RT's television network pounced, calling it "an investigative vacation" and a "beachside investigation" by an "establishment Democrat."
On Jan. 12, the day after Gabbard announced, RT headlined her decision this way: "'Putin puppet' vs 'Assad shill': Dems & Reps unite in panic over Gabbard challenging Trump in 2020."
The unsigned article claimed, "With Representative Tulsi Gabbard (D-Hawaii) entering the 2020 presidential fray, establishment figures on both Right and Left are scrambling to smear the anti-war congresswoman with impeccable identity-politics bona fides. Ever since her 2017 visit to Syria, Gabbard has been condemned for daring to seek firsthand accounts rather than blindly trusting the MSM narrative, so on Friday the pundits were again off to the races, with fresh accusations of Assad-sympathizing."
In articles on the Russian sites, Gabbard is described as a "rebel," who is "straight-talking" and a "heroic" candidate who will "shake up" the establishment.

Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard’s campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination is being underwritten by some of the nation’s leading Russophiles.
Gabbard also is among the few Democrats who has a captive audience on Fox News, owed largely to her willingness to criticize Barack Obama, as well as her party’s planks on both Russia and foreign policy in general. Tucker Carlson, a primetime host on that network, has publicly defended her.
Gabbard needs show some of the goods with a push bra.

Just so you know how to refer to her, Feral, Harris is (like Obama) a "Kenyan Muslim Soros cultural Marxism sleeper agent."
Well, maybe a "Jamaican Muslim Soros cultural Marxism sleeper agent."

Poor Joe slipping down in the election betting odds after getting flattened in the debates. If he keeps slipping I see him dropping out, just doesn’t have the fire. Not a good time to be a Democrat.

If Joe is the chosen one, Trump will cruise. It's basically Hillary 2.0.
