Bill Clinton agrees.

Third parties will be as pure as the driven snow until they can win elections.

Then, they will be for sale just like everything else in the DC swamp.

The Republicans have been unjustly judged by weaponized and politized intelligence community, the media, etc., so I disagree with you.

She got that one right

I can only assume you feel the same way about Kinzinger and Cheney, should since you are a fair person. I have more respect for them since they are attempting to reform the Republican Party.

Still not sure what happens when she leaves the party, sounds more like a photo op.

I don't trust her. I think she is planning to split the Republican vote to insure a democrat presidential win.

Wow, Cheney is a reliably straight line Republican, much more so than Gabbard could ever be.

I am surprised to see this comparison made. Sure, you don't like Cheney because she calls out the January 6 shenanigans the people around Trump were up to, I get that, but she was a reliable vote in Congress for all things Republican. Votes on issues matter.

In fact, there are literally thousands of Republicans serving right now at all levels of government across the country who would make better Republican candidates than Gabbard would.
I tend to agree with you. She is not a good fit as a Republican and not a Trumper. She had an odd affinity and empathy with Assad in Syria and went there secretly to meet with him during the civil war. She is unlikely to be a welcome Republican and I doubt that she has that in her sights.

Both Gabbard and Cheney have been big wheels in their respective parties for several years. Now, to see them both as free-range politicians, or close to it, is an interesting development. It gives them both a chance to speak outside the party line. I see that Cheney still claims to be a Republican, but the GOP isn't listening.

Cheney is a republican because she has republican values. The GOP is not listening because it's the party of Trump now.

But this chick is no Republican. Not even close.

Good for her.
Both parties are insufferable.

Make enemies overseas to fund the war machine using patriotism as a tool.

On topic, go Tulsi. She is a free thinker that I generally agree with. I wish her the best.
