Well, I think it's because a lot of republican/conservative types actually like Tulsi's foreign policy ideas - which rocks the boat on the establishment's habits.

Could be something to that.

But Hillary actually floats a very obvious idea that I can't believe hasn't really been tried: Funnel $100M to a 3rd party candidate who can pick-off just 2% of the opponents votes....and that's enough to tip the swing states in your favor.

If Warren isn't telling the tech guys behind closed doors that she's not serious and just pandering....they may use their platforms to subtley sabatogae her.

Could this be an elaborate scheme to give Tulsi a bump?  This little tift is getting her a lot of attention, mostly positive.

Because I know Hillary has had some delusional and crazy ideas about how she lost 2016, but calling Tulsi and Stein "russian assets" is completely out of leftfield nutjob.  Throwing Stein in there makes me think she's actually serious since she probably blames Stein for losing (eventhough Stein didn't get enough votes to affect the outcome in any state).

Biden is done, but probably won't bow out gracefully.  Bernie and Warren are too crazy.  And America just isn't ready for a gay couple in the WH.  That leaves Tulsi as pretty much the only option, so this kind of smells like a coordinated "intervention" to lift her campaign.  At this point, Tulsi is probably the Dems best chance to re-take the WH.

Hillary is still not popular, and this gives Tulsi someone to attack.....someone who's not in the race and probably pulls their punches [if it is actually all orchestrated].  This has the potential to suck all the oxygen out of the air of all the other campaigns.

This.....Clinton cant rig another DNC primary like they did vs.  Bernie but just blame it on Russia this time and it ends the same

Do you really think that anyone named Clinton would do anything at all that would benefit anyone besides someone named Clinton?

No way, no how.

They don't do anything altruistic or to help anyone or anything beside themselves.

Apparently Trump has more than doubled Obama’s war chest at this point in the game for re-election.  That’s a lot of funds to do some damage. Luckily for the Dems they have the media make up for their lack of funding. Although, you can make an argument the media helped Trump last election. They are worse than they were in 2015/2016, so 2020 is going to be very interesting. I’m just happy I am overseas and don’t have to see a lot of the bullshit.

True. Trump does have a head start. But, Clinton had more funds in 2016...and that didn't work out. 

Plus, if you add up all the funds that are going to Ds, I think it is close to the Trump number. 

Also, while you may miss this shitshow over the next 13 months, enjoy the fucked up Italian system where the government is on verge of collapse every few weeks.

Even with the Italian government being trash, nobody goes full politard here and allows it to consume their lives. That’s more/less what I was getting to.

Very true. In the end, you are in Italy...

1.) Trump is still outpacing the dems, even when you add them up together, with all of the free media that he gets. He seems to somehow make negative attention work for him. Or rather, he's done that before. Not sure if he can pull it off this time.

2.) Right now everybody who wants a D* is divided up, albeit unevenly. It's coming down to the centrists/independents vs the progressives/woke. As many people have termed it - the battle for the soul of the democrat party.
* I couldn't help it, it was too easy

Gotta love Biden.

And Corey Booker was never even really a contender - dayum!

So does he pretend to break-up with Rosario Dawson until his campaign is officially over, or does he just drop out of the race now?

Indeed. And as he alluded to earlier, with the current shitshow going on, this would be the PERFECT 3-5 years to do so.

So if you crank out a kiddie or two, would they be citizens of Italy as well as the U.S.?

So Joe Biden's campaign got a website built in order to court the Latino vote. Turns out they didn't finish all the paperwork and sign on the dotted line because... Trump bought it.

Are we in a sitcom?

Troll level is strong

Laugh out loud at Elizabeth Warren’s Medicaire for all plan and her claim that no one in the middle class will pay a penny more in taxes. 

Medicare today is going bankrupt, so let’s multiply that by 10 for Medicare-For-All.   

Makes perfect sense.

We need to start asking people "are you really going to fall for that line again?"

And, yes, yes they will.  I guess the economics being taught now omits the part about "no free lunch".

Beto is dropping out of the Presidential race that he was never in to begin with. Also supposedly not running for Senate.
