Here's a thought.
Now, I'm not a democrat partly because I grew up in Arkansas while the Clintons and the dems pretty much had total, unrivaled control over that poorly-run state and did nothing to improve it. Imagine my surprise when they duped the nation to electing them to the White House.
That being said, for this exercise I'll give Hillary a chance to look brilliant here.

See, the Clintons are from a different era of democrats than whatever this current crop is trying to be. They probably don't fully approve of it.
Tulsi Gabbard seems to fit in with that old guard more than she does with the extremists surrounding her on stage.
Perhaps, Hillary is purposefully giving Tulsi some free press here. There's no such thing as bad press, at least not when you're so little known as Gabbard is right now.
Hillary's got nothing to lose by looking crazy here.
Maybe there's some shred of decency in her that doesn't want to see the democratic party go so far off the deep end so she finds the most moderate of the bunch and attempts to give Tulsi some name recognition at least. This early in the game, that's really all it's about.
Look at the front runners. Biden? Bernie? Really? They're there because people know who they are. That's about it.

Of course, Hillary herself could be a Russian asset trying to get Tulsi the Russian asset elected because Donald the Russian asset isn't going along with the Russian plan to conquer the universe.
Mind. Blown.

Well, she did receive $140,000.000 from the Russian's, but Jame's Commie said there was no wrong doing.

She's sounding like she, too, isn't over the 2016 election. Like many others.
she hasn't been over the election since Nov 8, 2016

I liked Democrats better before their whole "the Russians are coming" thing.

Its interesting that HRC feels the need to even comment on Gabbard. Gabbard is like the only Democrat Ive heard say reasonable things in a long time.

OK. I have figured it out. Clinton is actually trying to give Gabbard a bump up. By intimating that Gabbard is a Russian plant, Hillary, widely despised and mistrusted is giving Gabbard much needed media attention. Watch Gabbard's donations and polling jump if you don't believe me. If you look at Clinton's positions and Gabbards you see much more agreement than disagreement.

You could have figured it out pages ago if you'd read post #7.

When you are the worst major ticket candidate for president in the history of the US and don't want to face that reality, you just start calling everyone a Russian agent.

Hold on. I see it even more clearly now. Clinton is setting her up for a third party run and labeling her as the anti-Clinton. Why? Who would vote for her as the anti-Clinton? Why Trumpers who simply could not resist the urge to vote against a Clinton just one more time before they die. Trumpers all think Trump is a shoo-in so what's the hurt in it? Shades of 2016 in reverse? Hillary is a genius.

Great! Thank you @HillaryClinton. You, the queen of warmongers, embodiment of corruption, and personification of the rot that has sickened the Democratic Party for so long, have finally come out from behind the curtain. From the day I announced my candidacy, there has been a ...
