Presidential hopeful Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, a liberal who supports banning assault weapons and “raising the minimum wage to $15,” is still “too moderate for today’s Democrats,” sighs David Catron at The American Spectator. Which goes to show that the party has “no chance of beating Trump in 2020.” Unlike Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren’s radicalism, Gabbard’s liberalism is “relatively rational.” She is pro-choice but opposes late-term abortion; worries the “secretive” impeachment investigation will polarize America even further; and refuses to “execute a flip-flop on the withdrawal of troops from Syria,” as other Democrats did.

Libertarian: Trump Thumps Never Trump

There are still some relatively sane Democratic primary voters. With Biden fading fast, who out of that bizarre field can they support? IMHO Hillary with her nonsensical or delusional accusations, followed by Tulsi’s hard hitting response gave her campaign a jolt. Come Iowa would not be surprised to see Tulsi get 20% of the vote and may even win if Biden is out by then.

They have said it right here. Asked about voting for Hillary, Leftists here admitted they had to hold their nose voting for her not just because she was a common crook, but because she wasn't particularly well liked or even considered Left enough.
