Gabbard is a DINO.

Have any of you actually researched any of her positions besides Assad?

"calls for a restoration of the Glass–Steagall Act,"

"called for the breakup of Wells Fargo Bank"

"strongly opposed the Trans-Pacific Partnership"

"called for an immediate withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan"

"traveled to North Dakota to join the protests against the construction of the final leg of the Dakota Access Pipeline near the Standing Rock and Cheyenne River Indian Reservations"

"supports full funding for Medicare and Social Security and opposes efforts to reduce benefits"

"favors allowing Medicare to negotiate with prescription drug firms to secure lower prescription drug prices"

"is pro-choice"

"cosponsored a bill that would let illegal immigrants serve in the US military"

"opposed the Defense of Marriage Act"

"introduced legislation to take marijuana off the federal controlled substances list"

"spoke against Trump's executive order banning refugees"

I don't think a single Republican would agree with all those statements.

I think a lot of Gabbard's bad rep comes from the fact that his father vocally opposed gay marriage.

Seems like Gabbard is getting in Hanabusa's good graces, if something happens to Hirono she'd be first in line to replace her.

Exactly. Hirono has stage four cancer, and is running for re-election. I wish her the best, but the odds of her serving out another term to completion are reasonably low.

i.e. impossible. It's impolite, but it's also insane to re-elect a 70 year old person with stage four cancer.

It’s her right to seek re-election regardless of her health prospects. It’s also anybody else’s democratic right to challenge her for her seat, but nobody has stepped up, Democrat or Republican. Plenty of other Senators seek re-election at even older ages and in worse health.

Ige has raised more than $800,000 for re-election bid, more than Hanabusa.

Hanabusa joined in half-way through the reporting period, and still only raised $70,000 less than him. He pledged to raise $1 million and fell embrassingly short of the goal.

Kidney cancer is a different animal from most cancers. So long as it hasn't gone all through the body, it's treatable in basically any stage. As I understand it, Hirono's cancer only spread to a nearby rib, which they removed along with her ruined kidney followed by blasting the whole area with radiation. Her prognosis is actually pretty solid, given the circumstances.

[Don Vito Corleone]

I am still mad at Hanabusa for trying to primary my boi Shatz in 2012 (inb4 Gauche accuses me of Sexism and launches into another tirade about how Obama and Harry Reid swore Shatz in before Hirono because they were racist sexists).

[Jeppe]

Thanks for reminding me to put you on ignore!

[Bidenworth2020]

support ige, hanabusa is a literal classic example of oppurtunist, and I HOPE she suffers another 2014 like loss

As a member of the Hawaii House of Representatives, Tulsi Gabbard had this to say about a civil unions bill:

This bill is very disrespectful to the people of Hawaii who have already made their opinion very clear on this matter. As Democrats we should be supporting the will of the people and not a small number of homosexual extremists.

Tulsi Gabbard can go jump in a lake as far as I’m concerned. She only changed her positions to match the political weathervane.

You obviously don't know very much about her, do you?

“No. Barack Obama nor I support redefining from a civil side what constitutes marriage. We do not support that.” -Joe Biden in 2008

Holding Tulsi Gabbard to views expressed in 2004 but not doing so for other politicians is a double standard that needs to stop.

Anyway, go Hanabusa.

Yeah I’m well aware of that now just wasn’t at the time of the post. I mean gay marriage is not really a Congressional issue so I’m fine with her in the House but as President, no.

[Jeppe]

It's funny, Hanabusa and her political circle actually help elect Ige in 2014. Ben Cateyano and George Ariyoshi, 2 former Governors that are longtime Hanabusa allies supported Ige in 2014, but now support Hanabusa.

I couldn't care less if Gabbard said that over a decade ago. She supports gay marriage today, and it's not like she would do anything about that.

As Skunk pointed out, the majority of Democratic politicians – Obama, Biden, Clinton included – opposed same-sex marriage at that time.

And, for sure, the will of the people has changed, has it not?

Gabbard supported SSM before Hillary, who waited until it had 58% support.

It’s almost like Ige’s been a really incompetent governor or something

Biden and Obama never said that LGBT people and other gay marriage supporters are “homosexual extremists.” That statement is just plain offensive.

Yeah the the false equivalency is getting old.
