Hawaii Congresswoman could launch a 3rd-party bid for the presidency to boost Trump’s reelection chances, according to speculation by several observers quoted by The Oregonian (“Democratic activists worry Tulsi Gabbard will launch third-party presidential run ‘to help Donald Trump win’”).
The speculation follows Tulsi’s swipe at Kamala Harris during an interview on Fox Radio this week.
“I think one of the things I’m most concerned with is Kamala Harris is not qualified to serve as commander-in-chief, and I can say this from a personal perspective as a soldier,” said Gabbard, who served in Iraq as a member of the Hawaii Army National Guard. “She’s got no background or experience in foreign po
The Oregonian cites comments from several observers who believe Gabbard will either endorse Trump, or launch her own 3rd-party challenge, which would undoubtedly siphon votes from whoever becomes the Democratic nominee.
It all seems quite speculative, reflecting concern about Gabbard’s positions that have drawn support from the alt-right.
But it’s interesting speculation, nonetheless.

Whoa–Russians at work spreading rumors. How many more rumors are being spread to split the democratic vote and strengthen Trump.
WHY IN THE WORLD DO YOU HAVE A “SUPPORT” (the orange fascist), and “vote for’ (the orange fascist) small ads on your website? If you didn’t put them up better track it down. On the other hand if you DID allow it, I am shocked and disappointed.

Masui-San, “The Russians are coming”? Why not a newer movie like “Boris“ the real life story of CIA controlling Yeltsin’s re-election.
Oh, old….you read the script, don’t inhale it!
Besides, maybe the Muller report, maybe Robert Muller will be able to read it one day, himself. Not likely. Makule, like Floppy the dog….poho!
He doesn’t know the difference between Fusion GPS & a Ford Fiesta!
The American Guru Cult Party? A.k.a. “Down To Earth”?
Has She fled the race with Senator Kai Kahele for Congress?
Clarification of her Presidential qualification, pends, by legal challenge to her birth eligibility place. Congresswoman Gabbard, born in American Samoa, not an American Trust Territory as Hawaii was prior 1959.
Senator John McCain born of American parents in Panama, had no such issue as His father was in active military service during His birth. American birth, It’s just a little constitutional requirement.
Perhaps Tulsi just loves the Lime Light, Not in serious contention, except for a TV Personality Position @ Fox News.
I think you’re giving Tulsi much, much more credit than she deserves.
Sorry Miss Gabbard…you’re no Ross Perot.
…and I was in the military too. Just because you served in the military doesn’t mean you’re the next Eisenhower or George Marshall. Go home cook tofu, Tulsi.
…and I have served in the military.
Just because one was in the military does not automatically make one the next Eisenhower, George Marshall or Stormin’ Norman.
She’s got delusions of grandeur.
I seriously fear that the squabbling pack of devisive Dems will hand reelection to Trump despite his seemingly endless efforts to sink his own wildly listing and rudderless ship — with or without any help from Gabbard’s self-serving antics.
This time, winning really is everything, but naked ambition and selfish tactics could very well deliver a devastating loss to this nation, although the political losers would still position themselves as indispensable saviors in a fight against evil, without ever acknowledging their own immense failures.
I so hope I’m wrong.
Tulsi Gabbard’s a Democrat. Her political positions don’t reflect the racism and wackiness of Donald Trump, the oligarchic authoritarianism of the Republican Party, the homophobia of the Chris Butler cult (although she’s got their bent for public service), or the enthusiasm of both major parties for military adventure. She’s not going to win the presidency this time around, but I think her unique voice on foreign policy needs to be heard.
I like Tulsi. She was never going to win the presidency, now or ever. She may be passionate about foreign policy, but she is not a foreign policy person. She was always better on the environment. We need Tulsi right here in Hawaii as governor in order to keep out the sharks.
