And furthermore, I will venture to say he is the false flag to scare people away from voting for independents and back to the democrats after that waste of time that was Obama...
It is also true that Tulsi has no chance in the DNC. She is only sheepdog at this point. Their candidate has already been chosen, and she's not it. The fraud in'16 only further confirms (something we knew since '68) that voting in a DNC primary is a waste of time. Her only chance is on the outside and with the non-voters. It's time to leave the republicans and democrats behind.
The rematch looks more and more likely. The gag will have worked one way or another. The Party will stand as strong as ever with 95% of the vote.

Third parties exist, I've voted for them many times, but I know very well how thoroughly the system is rigged against them. As crazy as things are getting, of course, it's possible one of the major parties will collapse soon. It seems like it has to happen at some point, of course. But I don't have any clear idea who's going to wind up nominated for the LP or the Green Party. They both get some sympathy from me on policy, and sometimes run great candidates. If we wind up with a Corporate Dino candidate vs Trump then my vote could easily go third party. But it makes sense to me that given there is 1 candidate I can be strongly in favor of that she should get full support for the primary.
