    First reports:
    https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/20...20-democratic-candidate-tulsi-gabbard-n964261

    More details from more recent article, and she doesn't at all deny that it's happened:
    https://thehill.com/homenews/campai...n-support-they-agree-its-better-when-were-not

    My guess is there's nothing nefarious but that Russia likes that she would be fairly isolationist.

    Such heartfelt concern for Tulsi -- it's touching.

    I won't say I agree about Gabbard being groomed to run as an independent, although I can see why she appears on FOX News from time to time. Her "regime change war" mantra in the last debate was a joke; if we were in Syria for regime change, then we certainly didn't go about it effectively.

    She also is the most hesitant to endorse impeachment of Trump.

    She was also a Bernie supporter (and many Bernie fans wouldn't cross the fence and vote Hillary) and still claims to be.

    Since she doesn't have a hope in hell of even becoming Vice President, I do sometimes wonder about her motivations, because she acts like a Russian asset, as people claim. She took Assad at his word when she met with him: "I didn't gas my own people, the U.S. wants regime change here," or whatever.

    Her appearances on and odd support by the Fox crew is puzzling considering how liberal she is and that she was Bernie's VP choice in '16. I just find H's accusations, like most others, to be baseless. Tulsi has said she isn't going to run 3rd party and will support the Democrat nominee.

    I don't say that Gabbard is some Manchurian Candidate after her meeting with Assad, not as I believe that Charles Lindbergh was a Nazi sympathizer, but I can see why FOX and Putin are so eager to focus on her.

    So Clinton puts out a goofy conspiracy and Tulsi responds with one of her own. Maybe they've been running as candidates in the wrong party.

    This isn't exactly new. Russian has sowed divisive strong discord as part of their divide and conquer. Throwing material out there to hook in a candidate and follower is absolutely something they would do. That's really not in question.

    Everyone is vulnerable to their technique, but especially those that has buttons easily trigger and those that susceptible to believe in conspiracy theories.

    And Gabbard is either too naïve or too proud to know she's being duped. Ego is a hell of a drug.

    You can tell how inflated her ego is by using her military experience as Commander and Cheif level experience.

    Ya, she was a mid level officer doing administrative medical work. There are literally millions of Americans with more valid military experience than her.

    The Russians worked VERY hard to do many things in 2016, but the one thing that happened that most don’t talk about is how they propped up Jill Stein.

    It doesn’t mean she was a Russian asset, but that definitely happened.

    Gabbard is a terrible candidate and one of the biggest flip-floppers out there. It wouldn’t surprise me if she contradicted herself and ran as an Independent to boost her brand.

    I have no idea what the facination with her is. She just spews easy platitudes such as "we shouldn't be the police of the world" and doesn't really expand much beyond that. She has hardly any relevant experience to be president also.

    Have people I do consider friends who voted for her. It was some Bernie folks who were completely disgusted with the DNC, and to an extent, I understand that. It felt like a "clean" vote, but I told them I felt it was a masturbatory or even a childish vote. Adults have to make hard practical decisions that influence the lives of other people. Voting in 2016 definitely was one of those decisions.

    Tulsi is ok. On some points about foreign policy. But that is about it. Let her expose the left.

    What do you mean by "expose the left". Her foreign policy is the most vapid platitudic generic pandering I've ever seen.

    She represents the best Americans.

    that's why she won't win the election.
