Tulsi should be the Dem nominee, not sure if she can beat Trump, but she's got the most self respect out of the entire Dem field.
You guys can hold your nose as you vote for any of the Bs, but she a breath of fresh air.
- Pete & Tulsi are the only 2 who have a remote chance of going up against TrumpKrassy
- you two are highBonSeff
- @BonSeff who do you think has a better chance (if any at all)?Krassy
- They all have a chance because Trump is not popular at all.yuekit
- FWIW, Pete Buttigieg does worse in the polls vs. Trump than any of the other candidates.yuekit
- Sen. Corey Booker?fooler
- It would be interesting to see if Tulsi Gabbard could continue to appeal to some conservatives in a general election or if Americans would freak out that she isyuekit
- not a Christian. I think she might be too different for a country that is pretty dogmatic about religion and having a certain kind of foreign policy.yuekit
- she falls into the 'hippy' non-christian category -- which is a little more palatable to the hell-fire set.Gnash

- Here’s a long article that talks about her religious background. Apparently she was raised in an obscure sect of Hare Krishna Hinduism that had someyuekit
- weird practices. Personally doesn’t bother me but I think this may be a bridge too far for most Americans.yuekit
- Mom, a German from Indiana, is the Hindu convert, dad’s a catholic politician. Weird, but it’s still in the neighborhood of the kooky homeschooled familyGnash

- Hippies are wiredGnash
- If you read the article above, she was raised to follow this group called the Science of Identity Foundation which is like an offshoot of the Hare Krishnas.yuekit
- Some of the ex members have compared it to a cult. Then again maybe new age religion is what America needs at this point :)yuekit
- I think she is more sane than the rest, but she still strikes me as unqualified for power. And simply her democrat ideals are still terrible.********
- Bill weld is still the best horse in this race and I'm not sure I trust him. Charismatic, good historical knowledge, but I cant help feel he leans more federali********
- st in a john adams way.... but pretty sure trump will win it at this point.********
- Ya, We have a Hare Krishna temple where I live. A friend of mine joined them way back. I remember going there for lunch with him all the time. Great foodGnash
- It’s definitely a cult. But, like my friend, there was contingent of entitled white kids who joined up. They were the spiritual trustafarians.Gnash
- But all them kept both feet planted in reality. Krishna was the shield they used to hide the shame they felt about their privilege.Gnash
