Tulsi Gabbard.

She was an advocate of the corruption with the DNC but they'll have new leadership. She's a war veteran. Her views are reasonable, not radical but still progressive. She's a likeable candidate that America can run with here.

In truth, her hubris and lack of true strategic understanding was also part of her failings in the State Department as well.

The other thing to realize is that Trump will face major headwinds over the next four years in terms of the looming budget deficit, continued international turmoil, and the possibility of another major recession. In that sense, the Democratic Party might have, in a way, lucked out by not getting the White House. Because the odds are very, very high that Trump will be a one-term president.
Oh, he will most definitely be a one-term President. If he even makes it that far. He's so deep in over his head, he will drown. And then, when it finally dawns on him that he's not really the one calling the shots (he's already meeting with his Wall Street banker buddies, as well as seasoned senior GOP crooks--both of whom who are going to tell him what to do, although he's clueless about that), he'll have a meltdown and start screaming and yelling and firing everybody and tweeting god-knows-what-kind-of-insanity at all hours of the morning, until they have to medicate him or cart him away. And then we'll get Pence, another raging alpha-male maniac, but since he can actually keep his composure on the public stage, the Republic will limp along until, mercifully, this next four-year-nightmare is over. Meanwhile, the nation will be handed outright to Wall Street, multinational corporations, and the oil, gas, and coal companies (including foreign ones), who will go their merry way in drilling-and-spilling and blowing up mountains--oh, and arresting American Indians in the process (the GOP already gave away 2600 acres of Apache land a couple of years ago: simply took it from the Indians and gave it to a Chinese mining company--and were richly rewarded for it. It wasn't enough that we spent 200 years stealing the land and putting the Indians on reservations; now, we're taking even that from them.). Trump supporters are utterly clueless.

I agree. Ever since she bucked the DNC, I've thought that she would be someone to watch between now and 2020. If they are smart they will make up with her

1. Experience
2. Their/spouses past. Anything they have said and done should no longer be used against them
3. Associations. From here on out, no candidate should be forced to renounce any questionable fringe groups that they are "suspected" of associating with.
So if another Black man becomes a candidate and BLM endorses him, that should not be a strike against him. Its only fair.



This is my opinion if the KKK can endorse Donald Trump .

Black life matters can endorse another AA candidate running for the office of President of the United States of America.

She has many accomplishments. Interesting that you say she "won't accomplish a thing with the Republican Congress," since that is virtually an admission that the GOP is not interested in compromise for the good of the Republic. The GOP wants total control. That's not a democracy.

Why? Because she's too old, too controversial, and too discredited (due to her 2016 loss).

Anyway, any thoughts on this?


Dems rejected her in '08, America rejected her in '16.


She's done.

Assuming she is not in jail at that point I do not see any possible scenario where she be able to get Democrat support let alone be the nominee.

She is DONE DONE. Hopefull we don't have to see her name ever show up in the newspaper again.

speaking of her "accomplishment", what exactly did she accomplish? Flying two million miles? It is hard to pinpoint what Obama has accomplished, just more severe internal conflicts and external threat. I don't even think Obama did one good damn thing for African Americans.

It's relatively easy to research her accomplishments, and they are many. Of course, you'd have to actually read something other than right-wing blogs to find them. And Obama, as well. Reading, widely and deeply: it's good for everybody. It allows you to keep your mind from being hijacked by those with their own agenda.
