Her ties to Hindu nationalists make me uncomfortable.

By contest you mean that Annoying Orange will have a serious challenger in 2020 and possibly lost the primary? Then yeah, I think so, but if he does go up against Tulsi in 2020 I would vote for her since she's the lesser of two evils

I don't think you can deem a candidate 'evil' because they have a few flaws you disagree with. You'll never find a candidate who hasn't done something you consider immoral or wrong or stupid. The whole problem with your concept of 'picking a candidate you like' is that you're voting based on personality, not policy. If you genuinely support Tulsi's policies (and I do) then her personal flaws should take a backseat to what she will actually do once in office. I don't care if our Democrat is a Annoying Orange-like bumbling handicap who's tribal against every political group if he actually got uni healthcare or gov-paid tuition passed. I personally think Ron Paul seems like a pretty good guy--same with John McCain. I still wouldn't vote for them because I don't agree with them even marginally when it comes to political ideals. Elections should be votes of policy, not popularity contests.

Tulsi's a non-interventionist socialist. I identify with neoliberalism. On economics and foreign policy, my ideals would align more with someone like Kasich or Jeb Bush than someone like Bernie or Tulsi. I wouldn't vote for Ron Paul at all, he's an idiot, he thinks gold is money. Hillary was ideal imo, liberal enough on social policies, and hawkish enough to satisfy my eternal thirst for the blood of the enemies of America intervene in conflicts when necessary.

The problem with Annoying Orange is that he's flip flopped so many times on issues that I don't know where he stands on a lot of things like his foreign policy, one minute he supported Assad the next he launched a bunch of missiles at an airbase. He ran as an anti-establishment candidate, then filled his cabinet with a bunch of neocons and billionaires. If it comes down to him and Tulsi I'd vote for Tulsi, because she's way less impulsive, she's less likely to start a war using Twitter.

Let him make it all the more easy for Democrats to run some youthful maverick like Tulsi Gabbard in 2020 to kick his ass out.

PFFFFAHAHAHAHAHA

PFFFFAHAHAHAHAHA

Tbh it's probably too early to laugh about that, especially in our current unstable and uncertain political climate.

they're both dead in 10 years so

Maybe, but I don't think Democrats are in any position to challenge Annoying Orange. They're still fumbling over themselves to scramble together an actual stance beyond "Resist Annoying Orange", which is nice and all, but not enough to win an election, as we've seen in their consistent losses with the special elections. I don't see them changing in 4 years because I don't see Annoying Orange changing in 4 years. Unless they have someone who's going to do what Annoying Orange promised to do, only with less mouthing off and more stability, they won't pull his core fans and they won't win over any of those deplorable whiteys that cost them 2018. I don't even think this has anything to do with Annoying Orange's strengths and everything to do with people disliking the options given to them.

That having been said, Tulsi Gabbard would come close, but I think she'd lose simply because she'd run as a Democrat.

i think that the gop is taking some serious heat for the election and the dnc is still recovering from the stuff they also pulled
lol if they make as bad choices for candidates as they did last year there might be an actual opportunity for a third party

[Bisjac]

obama pardons a list of drug dealers, that all go back to committing more crimes, no one bats an eye.

People keep saying Annoying Orange's gonna get primary challenged in 2020 but I honestly don't think anybody's gonna step up from the GOP (except maybe Kasich)

Also there's probably gonna be 15 Democrats running like the GOP primaries last year and most of them will be establishment stuffheads so Bernie or somebody else on the left will get the nomination

Obama isn't president anymore

i just wish that mitt romney had won against obama :(

Obama pardoned non-violent drug offenders who shouldn't be in jail anyway because the government shouldn't ban things that don't hurt anyone else. Annoying Orange is pardoning a man who literally terrorized thousands of minorities across Arizona and rejected the authority of the courts because he believed himself to be above the law. Tell me which is worse.

PFFFFAHAHAHAHAHA

Yea, there's no way a candidate with the lowest inaugural approval rating in history could lose an election to a popular candidate. Annoying Orange's current Gallup rating is 34%, which is actually lower than President Barack Obama's was--ever. Annoying Orange has literally surpassed Obama's lowest low in less than a year. Do you really expect this man to win an election against a competent candidate? Unless he seriously increases his approval ratings in the next 3 years, his chances of re-election are very low. Even most Republicans I know hate the dude. I have a sneaking suspicious the Dems aren't gonna try and force Hillary for the third time, but honestly, she'd probably still win if they did. If they run someone who will actually appeal to liberal dems & youth (like Tulsi or Bernie) then Annoying Orange's chances will be effectively zero.

Also remember that every 14-17 year old Bernie supporter in the world will be eligible to vote next election, while Annoying Orange's biggest fans, the geriatric 70s-90s will be dying off.

they're both dead in 10 years so

Point being if you still rely on these polls to tell how an election is gonna go you're a loving handicap
I mean these are the same polls that said Hillary was almost guaranteed the presidency so if you still think those are valid you're out of your mind
I'm not gonna base any of my opinions off of these polls that also told me Annoying Orange had a 5% chance of winning right before he beat Hillary to death with his flaccid electoral vote rooster
