Anyone know if that's likely or not? Quite like her, likeable, in the shrinking non-lunatic wing of women Democrats, and good eye candy for a popularity contest. She'd need to get her skates on to ready a campaign though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She still seems quite young even though she has been in politics for a while. She's not in the Democrats inner circle and unlikely to be brought in unless she sprung into the limelight / gathered serious momentum for whatever reason. We saw how the Democrats sabotaged a Sanders who might've had a better shot at the Big Chair than Shillary. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Detournement Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 Gabbard is a strange one. Superficially progressive but with some weird views on Islam, Iran and India. She's got Obama potential to whip up a change frenzy then just do whatever the CIA want. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like you though, this state couldn't be any bluer if it held it's breath for 4 years, so it all seemed remarkably undramatic tbh.

Georgia and Arizona seem to be the two main states the problems are stemming from today. What another incredibly bad 15 pieces of luck they seem to be having.

Alan Stubbs Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 Put a wee speculative interest bet on the Republicans to keep the house. Not based on any real knowledge, other than being sceptical of the punditry about turnout. I remember the same kind of chat about Florida in 2016. I wouldn't be in the least bit surprised to see the gammons out in record numbers and all the woke young folk to not bother their arse. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And In North Dakota they passed a law requiring everyone to have an address to vote Which disenfranchises the Natives living on reservations who only have p.o boxes Funny they would introduce that law in a year a Native is running for a statewide office 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
