She has also missed 90% of House votes the last 2 months The biggest vote in her career and she votes present totally wimping out WTF In the history of our country, only 20 members have not voted or voted present regarding impeachment Andrew Johnson, 17 members declined to vote Bill Clinton. One member could not vote due to hip surgery. The other left before he could vote to walk his daughter down the aisle at her wedding. Tulsi the only one in history to vote present WEAK Sometimes we live no particular way but our own - Grateful Dead "Eyes of the World" |

She is playing the long game. The impeachment vote, just locked up Trump's second term. She is not weak, she is strong and strategic for standing up to the party. It doesn't matter now, Trump will win again in 2020 despite her efforts. In the future (2024) we need to a major party reform to appeal to the right people. We need to stop appealing to fringe minority groups. Unfortunately appealing to groups like BLM and Islamic groups has been corrupting the purity of traditional DNC values.... |

The Democrat Party stopped appealing to the right people after 1964. Since then it has appealed to one loon group after another. They lost the White Vote by the mid-70s and since then have tried to win by appealing to minority groups in any way they can to thread the needle just right. Look at the results. In 1976 they won only because of Watergate hangover and we got one of the weakest and worst POTUSs ever. In 1980, 1984, and 1988 they had total wipeouts. They won 1992 and 1996 only due to a 3rd party. They won clean with Obama but mainly because we had in Bush43 a guy who let the other side use him as a punching bag for 8 years and left the party around him completely dejected. Obama lost votes from 2008 to 2012, a very rare feat. The Democrat Party will keep pandering to loons as that is all they know for 60 year now. JFK would not be accepted as a Democrat today. The President is a fink. |

And the Republican Party has been appealing to racists since the Southern Strategy. Turns out there's still a lot of them and they have a home in their Republican Party, i.e., Trump's party. To each their own. And Reagan would not be accepted as a Republican today. |

Please cite examples of racism in the GOP. There are none. Reagan would fit right in to today’s GOP. The President is a fink. |

First the tea party drove out some Republicans who didn’t cater enough to rightwing conspiracy theory, and then Trump has helped get rid of some more. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

If true what does that have to do with racism? We have seen racism in politics. Democrats having a kkk leader as a senator into the 2000s. Democrats concerned there are too many White people in their primaries. Liberal colleges openly discriminating against Asian students. Various liberals calling Clarence Thomas an Uncle Tom. Liberals talking about Obama being clean and not using negro dialect. I was looking for those kinds of examples. If the Tea Party does not want someone who does not share their beliefs what’s the problem? The President is a fink. |

The KKK was the militant arm of the Dem party till the Civil Rights Act in the mid 60's forced them to accept Black people. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

She's so full of crap. She knows 'Trump is guilty of wrongdoing', she just can't quite figure out what that wrongdoing is. Like every other Trump hater in Congress. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |
