Of women that have served in the armed forces
I'd take Tammy Duckworth over Tulsi any day
I have a tremendous amount of respect for Tammy
Unlike no chance to be President Tulsi, Tammy has won a statewide election

Hillary wiped the floor with Bernie in 2016, beating him by almost 4 million. By contrast, Obama beat Hillary in 2008 by 40k.

This idea that the DNC rigged the election for Hillary is absurd. You can't fix 4 million votes. Just like you can't bus 3 million illegal immigrants into California without Twitter knowing about it. A little bias? Maybe. Uniting behind a candidate to avoid a bruising race? Probably. Completely rigged? No.

Agree
If it was rigged
No way Obama beats Clinton

I like Colonel Duckworth.

But, compare their websites...

Gabbard has vast details on policy standpoints, and the data of her votes and proposed legislation she has been working on for each.

Duckworth has vague talking points under each category....

What policy do you like from her?
I am guessing you cannot name one, since they are so hard to find..... She mostly just goes along with the mainstream, does not have an impressive list of proposals and activist movements....

You realize Clinton got almost all of the Super Delagates?

Bernie got a hand full (less than 50....). Malloy got literally 1..... Clinton got well over 500....

And, in that election Super delegates accounted for 15% of delegates.

Super delegates were not at all in line with the popular vote. If so Sanders should have received over 45% (popular vote) of the Super delegate votes.....

This is how the system is rigged, 15% can swing any election.

Even Warren and Brazille were speaking out in 2017 (after Tulsi started the trend).... This is not a far out opinion... There are many people who do not like the structure...

Also, another memo about Trump. Getting what is likely a corrupt outsider is no testament for getting outsiders.

Simply the content of her character
I'm impressed
Incredible resume

Incredible resume. Helicopter pilot like Tammy. We was ready to teach at West Point but decided he wanted to be a songwriter instead

We'll see what Buttigieg says about the process after it's over. He is the closest thing to this race's unknown on the Democratic side. And he has managed to work his way into top 3 or 4 consistently. I don't think anyone is handing it to him. He's clear and concise and still driving support fairly consistently.

edit -- should qualify, he is the closest thing to this race's unknown who has busted through as a front runner.

He is a pretty solid canidate.

What is absurd is not understanding what "rigged" means. They set the debates for times nobody would be watching. The had the superdelegates locked up for her. They out and out admitted this. They basically cleared the field for her same as they did when she ran for Senate, except Bernie would not fall into line.
The President is a fink.
