Harris, or at least did a lot of the heavy lifting (which I am sure garnered her a shit tonne of hatred here), and she DEFFO destroyed Ryan, probably the 2nd cleanest knockout of all the debates (after Warren's utter decimation of Bloomberg)

https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2019/09/tulsi-gabbard-2020-candidate/597226/

During the first Democratic debate, in June, Gabbard took Representative Tim Ryan’s legs out from under him over his support for the war in Afghanistan; in the days after, she defended former Vice President Joe Biden against Senator Kamala Harris’s attack on his views about busing. At the second debate, in July, Gabbard clotheslined Harris with details about her record as California attorney general. That night, according to Google, Gabbard was the most-searched candidate.


I guess I missed Biden saying that, oh well. I was never as negative about her as so many here, and yes, I know that is a very contrarian position on this board, but in the end, she did the right thing.

cheers

Although Gabbard did say "Kamala Harris is not qualified to serve as commander in chief..."

He will be SOOOO much better as president than the feces log we have in there now.

Did you see the news conference this morning? He continues to spew hate for the media.

knowing he was going to drop out, decided to drop out first (as a kind of respect)... then supported Biden since Sanders is dropping out soon?

Tulsi got swift-boated even worse the John Kerry.

Nice to see you say "serve with honor" and "life on the line" about Major Gabbard.
