Gabbard is a blowhard. How many times can you say ‘regime change war’ in one answer? And then Mayor Pete wipes the floor with her in his answer to her direct question.

shes one of the 6 or so that need to go ASAP.

No, I think the one who needs to go has, thankfully, already gone, her shameless insulting of another Democrat shows her character, this time fortunately we'll have a better nominee who will win.

Fully agree. Hillary lost the election for the Dems last time around because of how unlikable she is , and people saw her nomination as nepotism.

Hate to keep flogging this dead horse, but she was the more popular candidate with the majority of the voters.
Trump winning the election, It takes a special kind of mind that views Trump as likable.
Unlikable vs the detestable.

I know, you might say that it's a version of plural voting, disproportional representation.

This abstract concern has been reinforced by contemporary empirical research: Three-fourths of the American public either knows almost nothing about public policy or is systematically misinformed;1 many voters suffer from serious cognitive biases, like racism, which affect electoral outcomes;2 and citizens both loathe their chosen representatives and keep re-electing them, election cycle after election cycle.3 Most of these data come from the USA, but the situation in UK does not appear to be better: Less than a quarter of Britons can name their Member of Parliament.
