    Drop the Nazi nonsense. Nobody outside the fever swamp thinks Trump is a Nazi. When independents hear democrats yammering on about how Trump is a Nazi, white nationalist, racist/whatever they stop listening. That stuff didn’t work in 2016 and it has even less of a chance in 2020.

    Drop the nonsense and go for Trump on the issues.
    I know you wish that were true, but you know that it will be one of his biggest pitfalls.

    Especially when the Klan comes out in support of him again.

    "I don't know who he is" won't work this time around when trump is asked about Duke's undying support

    OH BS

    It is the nazi left that wants to exempt people from laws based on skin color.

    Not gonna work.

    Too many people aren’t going to fall for that. Too many people are...what’s the word? Sophisticated enough, to realize that all fringe groups—including the New Black Panthers, are like everyone else and will back one candidate over another. What reasonable voters do is—ignore it.

    There’s a reason they are considered ‘fringe’ groups.

    Is there a definition for socially liberal? How would you define it?

    The first thing that comes to my mind when people define it is abortion. To me at least it’s hard to be pro-life and say you are socially liberal or vice versa.

    Another big one is gay marriage. One’s position on gun control is often used as a issue on determining ones socially liberal/conservative bonafides. Ive seen affirmative action and amnesty included as well.

    I think of myself as socially Libertarian but if I was being totally honest I’m not always sure what that means.

    LMFAO. New BP has what? 4 members?

    We can both speculate all that we want. You don't seem very secure that trump will be re elected, notwithstanding your obvious desperate attempts to spam the internet with nonsense. Independents see through all of it.

    The Trump right are not sophisticated enough to deflect the truth of the charge of the Nazi and Klan support of Trump. Your comment above about the NBP is proof of that.,

    t is not exactly breaking news that Tulsi Gabbard will not win the Democratic presidential nomination. Since announcing her candidacy in January, the U.S. House member from Hawaii has never polled higher than 2 percent in the RealClearPolitics polling average.

    That may not stop Gabbard from mounting a third-party White House bid and having a major impact on the 2020 election, and one person who is welcoming that prospect is President Trump.



    Gabbard explained that her vote of “present” on the two articles of impeachment against Trump was meant to break the “zero-sum game” of political gridlock in Washington.

    In a statement, Gabbard further explained why she didn’t vote “no” on the articles.

    “I could not in good conscience vote against impeachment because I believe President Trump is guilty of wrongdoing,” Gabbard, who favored a congressional censure of Trump, said.

    All but three House Democrats — Gabbard and two others, one of whom, Jeff Van Drew of New Jersey, has said he is leaving the party to become a Republican — voted for the first article of impeachment. Her position drew criticism from others in the party.



    While Gabbard hasn’t been campaigning in either Michigan or Wisconsin this year, she has focused her efforts in another potential swing state in 2020: New Hampshire. She has moved there to campaign ahead of the Feb. 11 primary, and a November Quinnipiac poll shows that while she is receiving 6 percent support from likely Democratic voters, she is the first choice among voters who self-identify as independents (10 percent).

    Given the bad blood between Gabbard and the Democratic Party, it’s easy to imagine her pursuing a third-party run.

    It is fine for Trump to applaud her not going along with Nancy's escapades, but I would not encourage a third party run by Gabbard. She could easily pull Trump voters as well as democrat voters

    The rightys would love a bunch of 3rd 4th and 5th parties to enter. They are certain they can hold their 45 percent. So it the other parties take from the Dems, it is a boost for daffy. The rightys actions show real desperation.

    Your Leftists Democrat Media narrative is that conservatives hate women of color, and are so racist and misogynistic that they would never vote for one.

    How would she fund a third party candidacy? She wouldn't be running under the Libertarian or Green Party banner would she? I don't believe she's independently wealthy to fund herself. Does she have a billionaire sugar daddy willing to back her?

    I agree with you in that she has no base.

    Edit: I should say seems to have no base.
