Tulsi Gabbard Meets With Wall Street Fat Cats, Said To Be Eyeing Third Party Run

I honestly don't remember. But Stein was far more relevant at the time, and had an actual following.
I agree, though I think Stein was more popular with the left, no? In my opinion, Tulsi would do more damage to Trump than the Dem nominee.
Regardless, the fact that Tulsi is even considering a 3rd party run should disqualify her from running as a Dem candidate. She cannot be trusted.
She's a Trumper and never polled a significant %. Not a threat to the Democrats. This is some republican fat cat galaxy brain thinking I dunno that much of the Democratic base will be fooled to vote for Trump shit by another name?
I fully trust all political decisions that were made in Anthony Scaramucci's Fish and Hunt Club.
They already posted before your reply.
If Clinton is right and Tulsi is a Russian asset, do you people who say that Tulsi will have no effect think that you have better information than Russia has? Do you think they'd want her to run if there wasn't a plan or if they thought that her presence would be ineffective?
She has been trying to frame the conversation as her vs democrats for awhile now, and has been ignoring her own congressional race
She doesn't even have to get many votes. Just enough to contribute to the GOP's bag of tricks.
A little cut polling hours here, a little voter roll hacking there, a bunch of states with dubious purging laws, etc. Throw in a 3rd party candidate, and swing states with Republicans in key positions (like, ahem, Florida) can put their thumb on the scale and call it for Trump.

Dumb ass Bernie and other Dems stumping for her - looking like idiots now.
Hillary knows the game. Luckily Tulsi is not well liked. Be ready for the Russia machine to push her though. It is going to be an ugly fight.

It was recontextualized in the New York Times report, though the actual podcast it's sourced from makes it unclear.
And all the people who jumped down Hillarys throat for accurately predicting the fuckery grit their teeth and close the browser window....
The only reason Hillary got that backlash is people still hate her.
My best guess would be trying to position her as a 'centrist', especially if Warren or Bernie get the democratic nomination. That way she has the best chance of trying to sucks up as many 'moderate' votes as possible (which are breaking towards Democrats otherwise), and maybe some Democrats who are 'turned off' by the 'far left' Warren/Sanders.
Not sure how well it would work in practice, but if the fox News propaganda arm starts really pushing her publicity they could make a go of it.

Not at all.
She gets so much more press coverage in conservative news it's ridiculous.
She is very likely to syphon enough fringe Republicans it will cancel out the fringe Dens she'll get which still won't be as large as Stein because her charisma among Stein types is atrocious for them.
I don't think Russia are necessarily American political experts, anymore so than tv pundits that guess things. They just want chaos and to mess with the elections and know a 3rd party candidate that is viable can do it. They also know what Tulsi is like and probably figured they could boost her and she'd go along with it.
I remember there being some overlap in the Bernie support and the Tulsi support. I guess if Bernie isn't the nominee, people will convince themselves that she's a "real progressive" and not a spoiler candidate, or that they have to support third parties in order to break the 2 party hegemony or something.
For real. People still want her to lose the 2016 election.
Shocking. Clinton warned us and a lot of people gonna eat crow now.
Whats the difference anyway nowadays.
Here's the rub:
Tulsi should have never been able to attract "leftists" in the first place.
She has ALWAYS been this.
But she throws bombs at the DNC (which is so hot and "in" right now) and kissed Bernie's ring, which was apparently all it took for a bunch of "progressives" to forget that she was a conservative, warmongering, dictator loving homophobe and trip over themselves to support her.
In short: no. I have absolutely zero faith in the same far left folk who adored her in 2015/16 to not be swayed by her potential third party run. Especially if Bernie doesn't get the nomination and she runs on a "Bernie was robbed!" platform.
I think the only people I've seen on the left praise her are Tankies. And they are universally laughed at on the left.
The hate they have for her has no reason. I feel like it's tied to sexism and tin hat conspiracies.
She might pull some of the really deranged Bernie or busters but I can't see her making a big enough impact to matter.
Am I missing something? The article only asserts twice that "party insiders" believe she is gearing up for a third party run, which like, no shit, of course they think that.
It doesn't seem to suggest any new information about her seriously considering it, just that Dem party people who are already frustrated with her think it's a possibility.

a quick trip to 4chan and alt right circles can show you how many ex Trump voters are seriously considering voting Tulsi. I'd say aside from crazy BERNIE or busters, she won't really hurt Warren's chances.
No, you aren't missing anything. Clinton sources are most likely just floating this for exactly the "Hillary was right, see!!!" posts we are getting here. Because yes, people are that easy to manipulate.
...how, exactly?
my thinking too - like, who would she even be for? never trumpers?
as they should be; we have standards

This was such a blunder for Bernie to say this shit. He should've stayed out this mess.

That's why I said take it with a grain of salt in the OP. The third party assertion is being made by Gasparino. He just tweeted that he was following up on the "scoop" on some *shudder* Fox appearance.
