On an interview with David Plouffe, Hillary Clinton said this: "I'm not making any predictions but I think they've got their eye on somebody who is currently in the Democratic primary and are grooming her to be the third-party candidate. She's the favorite of the Russians.”

Later, when asked to clarify if she was referring to Tulsi Gabbard, Clinton’s spokesperson said, “If the nesting doll fits. This is not some outlandish claim. This is reality.”

This is speculation, of course, but I find this scenario entirely plausible. This is precisely what the Russians would do to guarantee four more years of a world without stability, American leadership, and the furtherment of democracy in global decline.

IT'S TRAITOR TULSI. I ****ING KNEW IT.

If this story winds up being confirmed, then a lot of Gabbard defenders owe this nation a massive apology for selling out to a Russian kompromat.
 
The one person we should not be listening to... too many people still listen to.

Well, hold on, it’s not confirmed yet. But it’s certainly plausible, considering how much she advances Russian propaganda, or the fact that she’s a favorite of Russians and Trump supporters.

Clinton’s primary fault is that she’s eminently unlikable. But she was never stupid.

Well, okay, keeping a private email server was stupid in light of the fact that Republicans had her under a microscope 24/7, but besides that, she was never stupid.

I'm aware of that. Hence the "if."

However, very few trolls are going to admit it, but Hillary has been right on just about everything. Traitor Tulsi has had all signs of being compromised or at least sympathetic to Russia. Notice how she was the only Democrat in the debate the other night that expressed reservation to impeachment?

Never said he was. Don't put words in my mouth that I never said.

But one can still be sympathetic to our archrival, Russia.

Isn't that cute. Gabbard exposes Democrats for who they really are like calling out Harris for her scams and all of a sudden shes a Russian plant.
You people are pathetic children.

Its more than obvious anyone who would make such a claim has never spent a day in uniform in the service of others. Democrats are gutless cowards who will make up BS like this just because they got their feewings hurt. Bunch of worthless humans wasting oxygen.

Okay, but I’ve never seen anything from him to think he’s sympathetic to Russia.

Please don't confuse yourself by pretending that projection is a valid form of argument. :)
 
Conspiracy Theory section is down a little.

It was a dismissive comment to a hell of an accusation by Hillary, wouldn't you agree?

Here's why your OP is all wrong:

- Tulsi is currently polling at 0% among registered Democrats.

- She way more popular with disenfranchised Trump voters and the far left then she is with mainstream Dems.

- If she ran third party, Tulsi would receive votes from former Trump voters, which would help Biden or Warren, or whoever the D candidate is. The Russians certainly aren't as confused about this as Americans are.

Hillary Clinton is still a lying shrew. She's just the latest Democratic hack to mislabel Tulsi as a Russian asset because she scares the pants off you guys.

I think his dismissal was unwarranted, yes. But I think he was basing that dismissal on his personal dislike for Hillary rather than on her rationale.

Oh noooo, Its the "I know you are but what am I" argument.

More proof how cowardly Democrats really are

Eh. Hillary's ability at these sorts of predictions is pretty bad. She said she'd win in 2016, after all. And the reasons she gives for losing are, well ... to call it pathetic is being generous.

As for Gabbard. Come on. You guys can't be serious.
 
This smells like a really bad CT to me.

On a side note, I just cannot wait to see what 3leftsdoo says about this.

As you said, “...and the far left.” That siphons votes from the Democratic candidate. And really, you don’t need to siphon a lot from that candidate. Trump won by just 80,000 votes in three states. If he pulled that off again, say, with a third party candidate, then there’s no reason that couldn’t happen again.

As for zero support, that’s objectively not true in light of the fact that out of a total of 18 candidates, she still managed to qualify for the debate on Tuesday.

Also, it’s doubtful that trump supporters would vote for her. They like her, but not because they would vote for her.

To reiterate, this is entirely speculation, but as speculation goes, it’s quite plausible.

Nobody here needs an unsolicited defense attorney even for pro bono tireless efforts so let's move along.

Trump will be removed from office by Constitutional means one way or the other and for certain.

Thanks for confirming what Hillary said.If you like her than she is a Russian plant for sure. There is nothing Trumpists won't do for Putn just like there is nothing Trump won't do for him too.
