I think Tulsi Gabbard just committed political suicide today.

Saw a bit on MSNBC a few minutes ago with her willingness to sit down with our enemies. Maybe I heard it wrong.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden

I seem to remember the right wingers thought I was defending Hussein when I opposes the Iraq War in 2002 and 2003. I guess this kind of rhetoric is to be expected since much of the #Resist movement consists of washed up Bush Cheney era warhawks.

If your campaign never took off in the first place, political suicide doesn’t really apply.

I expect Warren will be my candidate through the primaries anyway.

We talked with the Soviets while they had nuclear weapons aimed at us; there's no reason not to talk to anybody.

Now, if you want to say her ties to Hindu nationalism or her history on LGBTQ issues are political suicide, I'm with you.

I think that is a position a lot of people will have a lot of respect for. Including me, just not for Gabbard.

What in the world is wrong with sitting down with our enemies? Obama did it often.
