    This is why Tulsi is not really interested in liberty. So like a good little democrat she endorses a corrupt politician for President. I am sure some say, at least she didn't endorse the communist.

    That's what happens when you play this game...her endorsement of Biden is no worse than Rand's endorsement of Mutt.

    Ya mean like Rand endorsed Mitt?

    That said, Tulsi was still the best Dem running & more freedom oriented than most so-called "conservatives."

    Rand was a senator at that time. But Tulsi will no longer be in congress.

    Rand was also brand new to the senate, I am willing to give him a pass for that.

    Rand of late has been really stepping up to the plate and I am very happy with much of what he is trying to do.

    Oh I have no complaints either...he's doing a good job.

    But the fact remains he did what he did to keep playing in the game.

    Disappointed by the endorsement of Biden. Did she not endorse Clinton last election? I remember her endorsing Sanders but when Clinton became the nominee I don't believe she changed her endorsement.

    Tulsi has a consistent record of advocating for sensible gun control. She has long called for reinstating a federal ban on military-style assault weapons and high capacity magazines, requiring comprehensive pre-purchase background checks, closing the gun-show loophole, and making sure that terrorists are not allowed to buy guns. Tulsi has an F-rating from the NRA, a 0% rating by the Hawaii Rifle Association, and a 100% rating by the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence. She is focused on building bipartisan solutions that can actually be passed into law, rather than using the issue as a partisan political football.

    Trump. Trump's saving grace is that he is inconsistent in his support for gun control. He can be bullied into submission if need be.

    Nothing she said or did mattered as soon as she endorsed Crazy Old Joe.

    Do endorsements really mean anything?

    If you endorse the party candidate, the whole 50 people on RonPaulForums will be mad at you. If you don't endorse the party candidate, half the country will be mad at you.

    Seems like the whole endorsement process is just a reason for people to get mad at you, lol.

    Not exactly. Rand Paul refused to endorse anyone inferior to his father during the primaries. In fact, he refused to endorse until there was a nominee. He kept saying he would endorse the nominee when there was one, but steadfastly refused to endorse the ass for the nomination, as if to say to Republicans, "I'll back you even when you make a mistake, but I won't help you make that mistake."

    Gabbard is actually picking an evil and calling him lesser.

    That's right, trying to pin him down is like trying nail Jello to the wall.

    Sen. Paul was wrong to endorse Mitt, too. I understand that he did it to support the party at the time, but since then, his own party refuses to support him on any amendment which tries to get rid of wasteful spending, leads to a path of balancing the budget, or any other measure that is fiscally responsible.

    In short, Sen. Rand's endorsement of Mitt Romney has done him no good with the GOP. He's trying to play "the game of thrones" in a "house of cards."

    I am telling you and I already did before that she is the nominee next time.

    Her run was to set her up as a supposed outsider.

    If simply endorsing the party nominee guarantees you support on all of your amendments worked, everybody would do it.

    Your example fell flat.


    Without the libertarian base, Rand Paul is still a star in the GOP. YAL also went all in on GOP activism.


    The entire libertarian fanaticism with Tulsi is completely misplaced. You're only trading in Trump's decent economics for Tulsi's decent foreign policy. She talks a good game about pulling out of wars, so did Obama. I wonder how many boners there would be here if Tulsi announced a 18 month afghan peace deal.

    Her voting record on wars is worse than Trump's war record anyway.

    For those that missed it, she tried to endorse Bernie but he's a commie cuck who is afraid of his own shadow.

    Exactly - we've known for 8 years now that if you have a base and you kick that base in the crotch with an endorsement, then you're going nowhere from then on.
    The only chance either Rand or Tulsi has is official party support....

    ...but I HAD hoped that there would be one lesson to learn here, and I was apparently wrong.

    That lesson is that standing in the way of the war machine gets you run over.

    I don't know how many more times we have to see it, but considering present company, apparently it's at least once more... the only way Tulsi is going anywhere in the future is if she gives up on the one thing that made her stand out.

    Democrats said for years that being a woman was the most important thing... it's not.
    We were told for years that being a person of color was the most important thing... it's not, either.
    Obviously.
    The most important thing is being someone that the war machine will be able to work with.
    And they don't even care if their candidate even knows where he is or what he's running for.
    There are no crimes against people.
    There are only crimes against the state.
    And the state will never, ever choose to hold accountable its agents, because a thing can not commit a crime against itself.
