    Republicans can participate in the primary only in donating money and lying during the polling process if they are selected. Delegates are mostly how the candidate is selected.

    If you look at Nate Silvers tweet above, it looks like the majority of her supporters aren't even lying that they are actually Democrats. So I just don't really know who actually in the early primary states is going to vote for her, and knowing that, I don't really understand what he plan is. I get the plan on its surface, but it makes no sense unless she's mounting a primary challenge to Trump... not to win the Dem nomination.

    On that note, as a primary challenger, or third party to Trump, based on the polling above, looks like she could seriously hurt Trump ALOT by pulling away those independents that say they didn't vote for Trump but we know they actually did. Looks like she hurts him more than the Dems as a third party spoiler.

    Gabbard keeps squeaking in, but like a lot of you, I wonder what is her endgame. Maybe she hopes Sanders will get the nomination and choose his favorite a**-kisser from the Democratic candidate field to be his running mate.

    She already helped trash Kamala Harris' candidacy. I want to see who she goes after in the next debate. It'll be telling. But this is probably just leading to her future job on FOX.

    "Apology from Hillary Clinton." Nyet, comrade. Da svidanya.

    Maybe in Iowa. New Hampshire requires to set your party affiliation ahead of time. But most states are open primaries and you can just walk up and ask for a Democrat ballot.

    Her endgame will be end of her life by a certain warmonger. Before that, she will get more warmongers exposed.

    Your posts have been noticably aggressive and provocative since the announcement that Fresh Off the Boat was cancelled.

    The Cheetah is up to speed on all ethnic shows. He's a big fan of Bob Hearts Abishola.

    Dems are dumb if they don't nominate her.

    Mainstream media does not like Tulsi or Yang for some reason.

    Yang is a snake oil salesman (UBI will fix all your woes won't it with no ill effects eh? Honestly why don't the dems run with that? They love BS'ing people who don't understand how money works), and Tulsi has been banished by her own party for expressing moderate sentiment. They can both run again in 2024 though. Sometimes it takes a few runs to build enough initial support. Tulsi needs to brow beat her own party back to sanity first or run independent. The last is way better. Seeing a first independent woman as president is a huge optics win.

    Again, what's Tulsi's moderate sentiment? Specifically, I'd like to know where you think she's moderate.

    I've posted this for you before but you didn't reply, she's for

    $15 min wage
    free college
    assault weapon ban
    citizenship for DACA
    Previously M4A / recently said she wants the Australian system which includes some private but still covered within gov system

    https://www.politico.com/2020-election/candidates-views-on-the-issues/tulsi-gabbard/

    Now, she hasn't gone in-depth about any of these issues or her plans for them, because all she focuses on is foreign policy, which is fine, but you keep referencing her as moderate when Biden, Pete, Amy are far more moderate, when her political stances align closest to Bernie more than anybody else in the party, and you view Bernie as a Venezuela lovin uber socialism far-leftist right?

    What gives?

    He doesn't pay attention to detail and makes sweeping assumptions and generalizations about things he barely understands.

    That's what gives.

    It's funny to me that people keep asking this question of Tulsi and not of the other 10+ candidates who have little to no shot.
