    Appearing on "Fox & Friends," Gabbard argued that the airstrike violated the Constitutionbecause there was no declaration of war from Congress.

    POMPEO ON QASSEM SOLEIMANI STRIKE: IRAN NOW UNDERSTANDS TRUMP WILL TAKE 'DECISIVE' ACTION

    "It further escalates this tit-for-tat that's going on and on and on. [It] will elicit a very serious response from Iran and [push] us deeper and deeper into this quagmire," she said. "And it really begs the question: for what?"

    Gabbard said that while there is "no question about how evil" Soleimani was, "the real question is what are we trying to accomplish here in the country?"

    she better figure out how to blame the dnc for this one. If not her fox new invites may dry up. They don’t want her to remind everyone trump is a hypocrite. Or if this...

    That may be the wishes of Trump/Pompeo, but we can't control the Iranian response, or how substantial said response will be. When the news broke, I knew we were in deep ****.

    Gabbard is still my favorite Dem candidate, by a longshot, but I can't agree here.

    Considering who this guy was, what he's done, what he potentially had in the works, and not to mention how they'd just attacked our embassy in such an arrogant fashion as if there would be no response... I think Trump made the right call.

    It's not a declaration of war, it doesn't necessarily mean we're on the brink of an actual conflict.

    She is a tool. She thinks shes smart by playing us but she isn't genuine. Yang is the one to look out for

    Tulsi's Tells The World that "Trump Made a Mistake"...

    Tulsi tells the World that "The Ocean Contains Water"...

    Where are all of the RWs who proclaim every utterance of Tulsi to be Indisputable Gospel?

    How do they like her NOW? :salute:

    I'd agree that Yang is dangerous, because of his proposals, but I can't see him getting the nomination... like ever... so I'm not too concerned. I think Gabbard is actually pretty genuine, if not she would've jumped on the batshit crazy progressive bandwagon from the get go. She's moderate compared to the rest of them. But again, she has no chance, so no worries.

    Her mind got full real quick when she thought she had our support. Truth is she has no clue why we supported her in the first place. If she has an independent thought in that head of hers, I'll believe it when I see it.

    You have to admit, it is pretty comical observing the way that the RW is turning on Tulsi the minute that she stopped parroting Anti-Dem. Talking Points.

    Too funny.:smh:

    Taking a principled position is not what your typical dem does. She simply said the truth.

    Trump has succumbed to neocons once again and tulsi pointed it out. She wasnt being political as the other dems do.

    Trump ran on getting the hell out!. Yet he has not done that thanks to neocon pressures . People voted for him on things he said he would do. And he should be held accountable by his voters and yet too many went tribal and will not hold him accountable and instead will defend him.

    Same thing with Obama Although trump has probably kept more promises than Obama who did a 180 fast !

    But hopefully unlike Obama trump wont get us into another regime change war. Yet looks like that is what he is trying to do. Like the last two presidents.

    She is being consistent in her beliefs and what she is running on .

    Why should she flip flop? People with integrity dont do thst.

    That she thinks congress has to declare war is sticking to our constitution . What a terrible person she is ! The other dems dont believe in the constitution on this issue nor the GOP. I thought you guys believed in our constitution that is explicit when it comes to sacrificing American lives in war.

    If the constitution limits war by congress declaring it hell just ignore it.

    They attacked our embassy. That is an act of war. Iran obviously relied on bad intelligence and blundered badly.
    I doubt they will give Trump another excuse to bomb their economy back to the Dark Ages.

    Congress has never had to declare war before the executive can attack an enemy.

    Tulsi is bar far the most electable DP candidate, but she is still a cheerleader for Big Bad Government.

    I believe Tulsi would be the best candidate for the Democrats against Trump, but she is just banging the partisan drums.

    Trump did the right thing.

    If Clinton had taken out Bin Ladin when he had the chance, it would have saved thousands of American lives on 9/11/01.

    Say it ain't so, the fence-sitting Democrat who was too cowardly to vote against impeachment is criticizing Trump. And people are surprised?

    Here, I'll repeat myself ;) "Say it ain't so, the fence-sitting Democrat who was too cowardly to vote against impeachment is criticizing Trump. And people are surprised?"

    Just because she's not as nutty as most of her leftie cohorts, doesn't mean she's not still a leftie.

    She's looking to be forgiven for that 'present' vote. Not working with me!
