Immigration and refugees we are having are because of our failed or lack of foreign policy. She is the only one I see keeping the focus on the issues and trying to not alienate herself from talking to the adversaries if she gets elected. Everyone else running their mouth just makes it harder to negotiate with them later.

This is an underrated fact.

No worries. Gillibrand likely won't make the third debate. So I doubt her comments about white privilege and Biden not supporting women working outside the home will go much further than they have. She's running a one-dimensional campaign.

It’s going to take the same kind of tap for the best shot at beating Trump.

I trend moderate.
There weren't that many moderates in the '16 Republican field of 17 candidates.

-I count Jeb, Kasich, Christie, Lindsay Graham, Pataki (had no shot), Gilmore (had no shot). Rubio was only moderate regarding the income tax plan.

I think younger voters in general enthusiastically do not want Trump to be President.

I will not back down from my assertion that the puppet masters will not allow a woman to be POTUS. They're the most misogynistic people on the planet. But they may want her as a VP if it helps their chosen POTUS balance out the ticket and be more sellable. Booker is another Obama, a sham candidate who they created and fabricated and helped every step of the way. A gay POTUS and woman VP, that would sell. Booker and Harris wouldn't sell that well since both are black. And that leaves Warren out, they'll never let her get the nomination.
But looking into Gabbard's past I see the same tell tale signs of "help" that we've seen with Obama, Booker, and others. Meteoric rises to fame and achievement everything seems arranged to help them succeed. So there's no doubt they're owned and controlled. Watch the next generation of puppets being groomed and readied for stardom. One is David Hogg the little brownshirt Nazi from Florida. He's gotten into that diploma mill Harvard as have some other young activists.
Harvard and Yale, nothing more than clown colleges now.
The only people propping up Gabbard are Republicans, Breitbart, Daily Caller etc. who want it to look like Democrats like Gabbard.

The DNC doesn't like Gabbard. She resigned from her post in '16 to call out their BS and back Bernie. She is suspect given her meeting with Assad. There's a reason she hasn't polled that well.

This has to have been INTENTIONAL

Does that not frighten you?




*semi: Obama is mixed, just as much white as black. As a white mom of mixed kids, this is an important personal distinction for me
i get your argument, i just don't get the frightened or scared comments... that makes no sense. There has yet to be a president, in my life time, that scares me one way or the other... The President is not a dictator.. He has a lot of power, but not supreme power... that would scare me..

Most likely -- he won those three swing states by close margins because the last month of the campaign he focused don those states. Clinton being a divisive individual was part of the formula. Folks thinking they would 'give him a try'. all of those things combined most likely helped Trump win the last election.

Since Trump won his election the 'approval' ratings have dropped and never gone back up.

Not sure a revolution of any kind will lose or win the election for Trump -- especially if the results come down to some 78K votes in three swing states like it did the last time.
Trump did not get significantly more votes than Romney in Michigan or Wisconsin did in 2012. Hillary didn't get enough voters out in Milwaukee and Detroit.

In PA, Trump brought out more people than Romney did in 2012 by a good margin, and he flipped a couple counties Obama won.

Of course there are those other 10 swing states that Trump took from Hillary.
