Rep Tulsi Gabbard resigns as DNC co chair and endorses Sanders. LOL!

First female combat vet from Hawaii and a rising star in the dem party. Dems are just a fricked up as the 'pubs. She obviously was disgusted with the democrat nc treatment of Sanders. It's (Dems) just not as fragmented as they only had 2 serious players. Wait til the blue collar union members, those out of work or underemployed and the blue collar Archie Bunkers which are the rank and file white members of the dem party start peeling off in favor of Trump. They already are. Mass is wild about the Donald in the R primary and much of that is undeclared, leaning dem Indies or dems leaning R. Next is the rank and file blue collar. The danger of Trump being elected is this group. Much of the R is educated and middle class and Trump is about maxed out with Republicans but his explosive growth lies with democrats. He is apolitical and had always been viewed as more of a Clinton democrat so they are very comfortable with him.

Truth is I'm not sure who to hang the Trump thing on. The Obama circle jerk or the Republicans for running scared of being called racists and therefore failing to confront him. But the public is clearly rebellious and it ain't business as usual. In fact I can see about 4 serious candidates in the race this fall: Hillary as the dem nominee, Sanders as the man standing up for the victims of marginalized labor unions, the youth, Hill haters, and also people who know the fix was in. See Gabbard resignation out of disgust. Trump as the R nominee and either Cruz or Rubio. If that is the case I can see where Trump would get the plurality. What happens next? Wouldn't have a clue. Strange times.

Sanders is the Democratic party's insurance policy. Worry about him if you want, but President Clinton is the reality. Trump, Cruz, or Rubio- it won't matter. It's going to be an overwhelming Democratic landslide that will give us control of all three branches of government.

Actually, Tammy Duckworth from ILL I believe is the 1st "actual" combat in Congress.She flew helicopters into war zones, was shot down, lost both legs and messed up her arm. Gave everything but her life and is a huge inspiration. I see her a lot on CSPAN, very smart, sensible, doesn't always tow party line. Tulsi was in medical operations. Nothing wrong with that. She was still in a war zone.

But McSully from AZ, GOP rep also flew helicopters, although she came in 2 yrs later in joining Congress. I like her spunk. When the Navy secty said he was all in favor of women in combat, and Repubs., like Duncan Hunter, called for his resignation because of it, she said :

“And here’s this slightly pudgy fighter pilot, standing up and emotionally arguing why women don’t have the strength,” McSally said, just “because we had ovaries, for crying out loud.”

LOL!

One thing these military women in Congress have shown, they don't feel the need to tow a party line all the time and have no problem putting the "men" in their place.
