    Tulsi's two-week National Guard mission in Indonesia starts today. Deadline for qualifying polls to get into the next debate is August 28. You'd think being the most-Googled candidate twice in a row would be seen as a "qualifying" metric, but not according to the DNC

        Basing qualification on Google searches would be risky, and possibly prone to manipulation. Donor counts and polls are not perfect metrics, but they more secure and easily quantifiable.

        There are a myriad of criteria that one might use to gauge voter enthusiasm and interest. Google searches and other online metrics are worthy of consideration. Putting such primacy on a handful of polls, which are often based on rounding errors, is arbitrary.

        The DNC is a private corp with zero accountability to US citizens. They made that clear in 2016. How do they get away with it? People allow it.https://www.truthdig.com/articles/dnc-fraud-lawsuit-exposes-anti-democratic-views-democratic-party/ …

        No qualifying polls have been conducted since the 2nd debate 🤔 I bet they will all drop in the next 2 weeks while Tulsi is away on Guard Duty

        I think there was one qualifying poll that she missed hitting 2% on by one respondent.

        The polls have been rigged to oust Gabbard, who has committed the unforgivable sin of challenging the money flow to the Pentagon. I honestly believe the DNC issues a list of desired results to the "endorsed" pollsters, who then craft the samples to fit the requested outcome.

        Qualifying metrics don't change after the fact. However BS rigging of the polls - like excluding Mike Gravel from many of the polls for the 2nd debate, only 2 qualifying polls in 11 days after the debate are the actual stuff that need to be called out.

        Can the Democratic Party get any less democratic?? They no longer even care about maintaining the illusion of being a democratic institution. Sorry to be the king of the self evident this morning.

        Sad that she hasn’t got more support. She’s one of the few popular with conservatives. She should have ran as a Republican, pre or post Trump.
