Hill Hag: Tulsi Gabbard is being groomed by Russians

[ScarletHayes]

She needs to clear 5% in one poll, any poll, before I take her somewhat seriously.

IMO, I just don't think she's had enough exposure yet.  She is getting there though.  And the more Ma does borderline psychotic rants against her, the more her name pops up. 

Look, I'll be the first to admit that Gabbard appeals to logic, reason, and Americanism/patriotism/love of liberty for the most part.  (Sans maybe her goofy climate change stuff and the Iran deal).  Those things would appeal to traditional/old school Dems. That said, this current crop of Dem voter concerns me though.  So on that note, yeah, she may never actually crack 5%.  

I just see Gabbard as a far more impressive individual than the rest of the field (on multiple fronts).  She's also clearly the most attractive, which wouldn't hurt in a general election.  I guess I'm viewing this through the lens of reason---which is apparently in very short supply on the left these days. 

So yeah, I'll be interested to see now if she can crack 5% and gain/build momentum.
