Tulsi Gabbard 2020 presidential campaign

Main article: United States presidential election, 2020

After the Democratic party First Debate Google search trends indicated Tulsi Gabbard was the candidate voters wanted to learn more about. A Drudge Report online poll had Gabbard with 42% of 74,736 total votes cast. Her closest rival, Elizabeth Warren, had only 12%. Other online surveys from the Washington Examiner, NJ.com and Heavy all point towards similar results with Gabbard winning almost every early online poll. Each poll shows her averaging between 30% – 40% of the total vote. Washington Examiner has her coming on top with 39.22% of the vote, NJ.com shows Gabbard with 34.67% and the Heavy has her at 32.24%. Fake news cable networks however ignored her. Julián Castro was declared the "breakout star" of the night by both MSNBC's Kasie Hunt and the bigoted New York Times.

Gabbard called Kamala Harris's attacks on Joe Biden "underhanded."

Google's election meddling

Gabbard is suing Google for $50 million for censorship of her campaign ads. Google blocked her ads account shortly after the first Democrat presidential debate, when Gabbard became the most-searched-for candidate in the Democrat field.

Gabbard’s complaint accuses Google of censoring the candidate at the very moment when millions of Americans wanted to learn more about her. It also accuses Google of sending Gabbard’s campaign emails to people’s Gmail spam folders at a “disproportionately high rate.” The campaign seeks a legal injunction against Google to prevent further election meddling, as well as $50 million in damages. According to Gabbard’s legal complaint against Google:

At the height of Gabbard’s popularity among Internet searchers in the immediate hours after the debate ended, and in the thick of the critical post-debate period (when television viewers, radio listeners, newspaper read-ers, and millions of other Americans are discussing and searching for presidential candidates), Google suspended Tulsi’s Google Ads account without warning.

For hours, as millions of Americans searched Google for information about Tulsi, and as Tulsi was trying, through Google, to speak to them, her Google Ads account was arbitrarily and forcibly taken offline. Throughout this period, the Campaign worked frantically to gather more information about the suspension; to get through to someone at Google who could get the Account back online; and to understand and remedy the restraint that had been placed on Tulsi’s speech—at precisely the moment when everyone wanted to hear from her.

The legal complaint argues that Google could have a nefarious impact on American democracy if its behavior is allowed to continue unchecked. This is the viewpoint of Dr. Robert Epstein, who says the Silicon Valley Masters of the Universe will “go all out” to influence the 2020 election.

In a series of Tweets, the Hawaii Democrat said Google’s actions “reveals the danger of their dominance & how the dominance of big tech over public discourse threatens core American values.”

First Debate, divided into two groups

Allegedly by the luck of the draw, the DNC spotlighted Elizabeth Warren the night of the First Debate who was rising in the polls at the time. Warren of course, was given more speaking time. Beto was scripted in as her chief rival. The two old white guys, Bernie and Biden were paired off the second night along with the pee-and-vinegar upstart Buttigieg. With 97% of the workforce employed, Democrats called for fixing the economy. All the talk of health care naturally led to killing the unborn ("women's health," "reproductive justice," etc.). All support Medicare for the Planet courtesy of the U.S. taxpayers. When asked about the geostrategic threat posed by China, most adhered to the views of 2012 Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney and the foreign policy of the 1980s.

Although Gabbard was the social media pick as winner of the first night, fake news cable networks pushed Castro because of Gabbards anti-globalism. The second night Harris may have delivered a knockout punch to the 'ol time segregationist Joe Biden. Mayor Buttigieg survived, despite broiling racial tensions back in his hometown. Yang's microphone was repeatedly cut off, but did well on online polls. Delaney made sense, but was ignored. Booker held position, and Mayor De Blasio displayed masterly speaking skills, but failed to advance either at home or on the national stage. Hickenlooper and Bennet proved as obnoxious on a national stage as they do in their "most progressive state" home of Colorado. Beto, Sanders, Gillibrand, and Klobuchar appeared washed up.

After the first nite gaggle a Drudge Report online poll had Gabbard with 42% of 74,736 total votes cast. Her closest rival, Elizabeth Warren, had only 12%. Other online surveys from the Washington Examiner, NJ.com and Heavy all point towards similar results with Gabbard winning almost every early online poll. Each poll shows her averaging between 30% – 40% of the total vote. Washington Examiner has her coming on top with 39.22% of the vote, NJ.com shows Gabbard with 34.67% and the Heavy has her at 32.24%. Andrew Yang won the second night with 28% of over 56.000 total votes cast, Harris 16%, Marianne Williamson 12%, Biden 10% and Sanders 6%. The much touted Socialist cage match, Bernie vs. Liz, takes a backseat to the Harris vs. Biden rematch, with the smart money on Harris.

Second Debate, divided into two groups

By the Second Debate, the tried and tested DNC strategy was becoming clear. Nominate another black candidate and smear anyone as racist who criticizes or offers anything less than full-throated approval. By July 2019 America woke to the fact that both Joseph Biden and Nancy Pelosi are racists. No Democrat can win the presidency without black support. Donald Trump has made significant inroads into the monolithic bloc of black Democrats, and poses a real threat to the future of the party. A Harris/Castro ticket was already being talked about consisting of blacks, Hispanics, and a smattering of aged white babyboomer hippies and their Antifa grandchildren.

The first night was the Thrilla in Vanilla, the all-white card with Warren vs Sanders headlining the matchup to see who can out-socialist who. Buttigieg, Williamson, O'Rourke, Klobuchar, Delaney, Ryan, and Hickenlooper were also scheduled; in an inexplicable move, Mike Gravel, who qualified for the debate, got bumped for Steve Bollocks, whom nobody can explain why he is running. All the people of color were bunched together the second night, with the dreaded Biden vs. Harris rematch. Biden has been in intensive training to take on Harris, who is below his weight class. Look for Harris and Booker double teaming to finish off Biden. Gabbard, Yang, Booker, Gillibrand, Inslee, Bennet, De Blasio and the DNC/media darling Castro were also scheduled the second night. After all candidates went on record nullifying citizenship rights by advocating open borders, free healthcare for illegal immigrants and no citizenship questions, the rules in this debate forbid a show-of-hands question. CNN fake news narrative engineers Dana Bash, Don Lemon and Jake Tapper were named moderators.

At post time only seven candidates were meeting the threshold for the Third Round of debates in September, Biden, Warren, Sanders, Harris, Buttigieg, Yang and O'Rourke. The rest were below the 2% threshold: Gabbard, Booker, Klobuchar, Williamson, Castro, de Blasio, Gillibrand, Delaney, Supreme, Bullock, Hickenlooper, Ryan, Bennet, Inslee, Steyer and Sestak.

The first night DNC Chair Tom Perez welcomed the audience and thanked the Rev. Al Sharpton, who once proposed killing crackers [white people] and pigs, [police]. for his service to the party. In a remarkable turn, the debate opened with the national anthem. Beto brought three athletes along to kneel during the anthem. Warren again was given the most speaking time. Warren pledged to fight environmental racism, economic racism, healthcare racism, every form of racism except Democrat party racism. Beginning with the racist idea that minority voters are stupid, Warren steadfastly claimed she could reduce healthcare costs without cutting doctors pay, or producing more doctors to serve millions of more patients. Williamson won the debate as the No. 1 most searched for candidate on Google. The usual railing against corporations and billionaires ensued, courtesy of the candidate's corporate and billionaire donors who made the whole debate event possible. Many trash talked their own signature failed success story, Obamacare, in favor of government run Gestapocare. Delaney again repeated a few common sense arguments, and was laughed off the stage. The Warren vs. Sanders smackdown piled on an additional $4.5 trillion annual expanse to the federal budget and, accordingfr to Delaney, closing of the nation's hospitals. Sanders committed a Trumpism by promising "a strong border defense," appeared angry and was told to stop shouting. Warren repeated Trump's talking points on trade and virtually all grudgingly admired President Trump's handling of problems with China. A few tried to moderate their stance on open borders with limited success.

The second night of the Second Debate, CNN allotted Biden the bulk of the time. The first hour was spent on a senseless discussion of healthcare, with no single candidate's proposals standing a chance of ever becoming law without a veto-proof Senate and holding the House. Harris mumbled her way through her new healthcare plan released days earlier, a sort of "buy now, pay later" billed as a human right, leaving the cost to a future Congress to worry about after she leaves office. She herself seemed to barely understand the plan. All agreed "profit" was a dirty word. Biden effectively neutralized Booker's attack on his racism by citing Booker's zero tolerance policy as mayor, making the point that racial profiling and stop and frisk policies had been advantageous to Booker's career. The U.S. intelligence community was accused of lying to the American people about WMD to get Biden to vote for the Iraq War while in the next breath the sacred text of the Mueller report and the U.S. intelligence community's Russia collusion hoax was taken as gospel. Harris wanted to "lock him up," with no evidence of a crime. Gabbard pummeled Harris mercilessly over her record as a prosecutor, citing Harris' keeping an inmate on death row while stashing exculpatory evidence and her racist joke about herself as a stereotypical dope smoking Jamaican while locking up thousands for the same crime. Throughout the evening Harris failed to seize the moment in her fifteen minutes of fame (Biden leaked to the press two weeks earlier that he had dirt on everyone). Obama received a thorough thrashing on stage. Like Stalin repudiating Lenin while maintaining a facade of praise, Politico reported all leading Democrats "disavow Obama's creation of rival political groups." Leftists, being leftists, disrupted the debates - a vital part of the democratic process and showing no respect for other peoples rights - several times by heckling. Before it was over, they all wanted to make America great again, a nation they all claimed was never that great to begin with a few weeks earlier. Afterward, Biden lingered with Sharpton for the cameras.

Despite all the talk of “diversity” - women, an Hispanic, an Asian, a Hindu, a fake Native American, one and a half blacks and at least one openly LGBTQ candidate - an old rich white male segregationist still led the field of 25 by double digits.

Third Debate - September 12, 2019

Despite the MSM and DNC's best efforts, Tulsi Gabbard made the 130,000 donor threshold for the Third Debate. While Gabbard was beating Klobuchar, Gillibrand and Castro and topped 2 percent in 26 national polls, the media blackout continued. Gabbard argued that “the DNC has not released their criteria for selecting the 16 polling organizations they deemed ‘certified’” and urged that the DNC should “revise their list of debate qualifying polls in light of numerous irregularities in the selection and timing of those polls, to ensure transparency and fairness.” Marianne Williamson, the winner of the Second Debate, crossed the 120,000 threshold. Yang, Sanders, Warren, Harris, Klobuchar, Biden, and Buttigieg all met the 130,000 threshold and 2% polling requirement. Sanders led the field with the most individual donors — about 746,000 — followed by Warren with about 421,000. Biden tumbled in the polls to third place after a series of incidents that couldn't be excused as mere gaffes and caused people to seriously doubt his mental stability; and Harris' poll numbers dropped to 1% among her chosen identity group. Billionaire Tom Steyer, who hadn't made a debate appearance, was ready to overtake Harris and spent $140,000 a day on Facebook begging for $1 donations to make the debate stage. Bullock argued that “these DNC debate rules have turned this primary into the ‘The Hunger Games’ — each step of this seems to be all about getting donors.” Bennet charged “The DNC’s process is stifling debate at a time when we need it most.” O'Rourke's support fell off the map after his unhinged performance during the El Paso Walmart shooting. Gillibrands's ex-staffers were begging her to quit.

The DNC rigged the process (with some help from Google) to keep Tulsi off the debate stage. Even after the DNC and media establishment schemed against Gabbard, the attacks continued after she was eliminated from debates. Marianne Williamson campaign released a statement saying the DNC used only 11 polls, not the promised 18, to determine a candidate’s debate qualifications: “If the DNC had followed the process they announced in February and kept to the promised 17 [sic] qualifying polls, the lineup of the upcoming Third Debate might be very different.” By show time, Gabbard was in a statistical deadheat with Harris.

Castro called attention to Biden's failing mental state while both were attacked by moderator Jorge Ramos for Obama's horrendous immigration record and deceiving DACA kids. Biden proposed turning all car thieves and home burglars loose.<refhttps://hotair.com/archives/ed-morrissey/2019/09/13/biden-nobody-jail-non-violent-crime/</ref> Kamala "Todo" Harris exposed the Wizard behind the curtain. While Sanders "wrote the damn bill," Klobuchar "read the damn bill." Yang still selling free money from the U.S. Treasury, offered a supplemental bribe of another $1,000 a month paid out of campaign funds to ten lucky winners, which is most likely illegal. Beto vowed to tear up the Constitution and confiscate guns. An ad aired during a break narrated by Elizabeth Heng saying “This is the face of socialism and ignorance. Does Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez know the horror of socialism?” A photo of skulls in a Khmer Rouge death camp in Cambodia are shown. “My father was minutes from death in Cambodia before a forced marriage saved his life. That’s socialism: Forced obedience. Starvation. Mine is a face of freedom, my skin is not white, I’m not outrageous, racist, nor socialist. I’m a Republican.” Leftwing fascists in the audience, of coarse, again, showed no respect for other people or other people's rights and disrupted the debate for an extended period. Booker appeared the most appealing and human. Warren tried to appear presidential while still pitching communist healthcare. Klobuchar continued her unappealing and unexciting manner. Buttigieg still doesn’t seem to know what he wants to be when he grows up.

New Hampshire polls still had Tulsi Gabbard ahead of Harris, Buttigieg, Castro, Booker, Yang, Klobuchar. De Blasio, and Steyer. During the debate @TulsiGabbard was searched more than Booker, Beto, and Klobuchar.

Foreign policy

Gabbard was one of 50 Democrats who signed a letter authored by California communist Barbara Lee calling on President Obama not to escalate the Syrian war after Obama provided covert assistance to the Islamic State.

On MSNBC's Morning Joe, Gabbard had this exchange with reporter Kasi Hunt:

Hunt: Do you think Assad is our enemy?
Gabbard: Assad is not the enemy of the United States because Syria does not pose a direct threat to the United States.
Hunt: What do you say to Democratic voters who watched you go over there, and what do you say to military members who have been deployed repeatedly in Syria pushing back against Assad?
Gabbard: People who have been deployed to Syria have been there focused on their mission, which has been to defeat ISIS. Our troops have not gone to Syria to wage yet another costly, destructive regime change war.

Gabbard has highlighted her noninterventionist America First foreign policy. Gabbard said, "When it comes to the war against terrorists, I'm a hawk. When it comes to counterproductive wars of regime change, I'm a dove."
