Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-Hawaii) refuses to "play politics"; will work with Donald Trump

Darth Hussein Omar said:
Dems won't be in a bipartisan mood until Trump submits something they like lol. Then what? Trump is no Obama: he's not an ideological animal but a pragmatist who wants to move things along. He's closer to Bill Clinton than anything.

But Gabbard is a strange animal for a democrat: former military, hasn't drank the PC punch on Islam and supports Bernie.

Strange mix.

Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-Hawaii) vowed to work with Donald Trump on the issues that matter to the American people, following a meeting between the two Monday at Trump Tower.

She did not, however, comment on whether she would join his administration.

Gabbard and Trump met in New York City to discuss U.S. policy in Syria, she said in a statement, though some have speculated she is under consideration to be the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations.

"I felt it important to take the opportunity to meet with the President-elect now before the drumbeats of war that neocons have been beating drag us into an escalation of the war to overthrow the Syrian government—a war which has already cost hundreds of thousands of lives and forced millions of refugees to flee their homes in search of safety for themselves and their families."

Gabbard said that while the "rules of political expediency" would suggest she not take a meeting with the president-elect, she refuses to "play politics" with American and Syrian lives.

“I will continue to seek common ground to deliver results that best serve all Americans, as I have tried to do during my time in Congress," she said.

She added that while she will not hesitate to express any disagreement with Trump, she believes they can come together on some issues.

Gabbard told Trump she opposes a no-fly or safe zone in Syria, calling it "disastrous" for the Syrian people and the U.S.

Trump and Gabbard have “a lot of common ground” and both understand “the country very well,” Kellyanne Conway told reporters on Monday afternoon.

The top Trump aide pointed out that Gabbard “went against her party quite boldly early on,” by endorsing Sen. Bernie Sanders, leaving her post at the Democratic National Committee to endorse the Vermont independent's presidential bid earlier this year.

“There’s a recognition that there’s a big country out there with lots of voters that feel disaffected from their party, the Democrats,” Conway added.

Gabbard was a staunch Sanders supporter, but said she would support Hillary Clinton after she clinched the Democratic nomination.

Republicans cannot trust any Democrats; they are a party of liars. Their history is filled with back stabbing, corruptness and a desperate desire for political power that trumps everything else.

The best thing to do with any Democrat is marginalize/isolate them and prevent them from further harming this nation. They certainly tried to do the same to Republicans.

The democrats need to cease with the leftward lurch or they'll continue to bleed talent. Joe Manchin is a worthy moderate democrat and he's thinking of switching teams.
 
There will be more. Many more will throw down "party lines" and join the revolution. The media is still in the dark what is actually happening.
Dumbshits.
