Who will the russians pay to run a 3rd party campaign?

[Eliot Rosewater]

We know this is what they did last time, Jill Stein.

I know who I think it is but...cant say.

We do know why they will do this, right? We do know there is a group of voters this might appeal to, right?

1. My guess is Tulsi Gabbard. She seems to like Russia and Putin.

[squirecam]

4. I think so too.

Nt

[kag]

5. Yup. n/t

[Mopar151]

14. WMUR Channel 9 loves Tulsi!

Far beyond her influence, or campaign spending. This is troubling, as WMUR are complete whores for political ad's, PARTICULARLY "conservative" ones. Has Ms. Gabbard already been getting "push"?

19. Hillary kinda ruined this for her

I have other thoughts. Rather not say now.

[Strelnikov_]

21. Ever since that Hillary v. Tulsi kerfuffle

I have been wondering if Hillary, with her connections, had some inside info.

At the time, it made no sense to single out Tulsi.

Also, she had an out-sized (and continuing) 'paid' presence here in Iowa. Lots of large signs, billboards, guys from the day-labor centers holding signs on the streets during rush hour.

Gotta wonder a bit.

2. Let's see...

He's not a Democrat.

[DownriverDem]

3. Only fools

would vote 3rd party.

6. This is another reason I think Biden

needs to go with Warren as VP. She's probably the most palatable choice for the "group of voters" who might feel cast out and like they have no reason to vote blue if their candidate is not the nominee.

I understand the argument for a POC. However Biden already does well with AA voters. The larger problem, I think, is going to be not losing progressives, particularly Sanders supporters, in droves. We can say they don't matter and who cares, and let them defect, and young people don't vote anyway, and all that, but if we lose all those votes it won't be good.

7. Yes, I am sure he would ask her, but will she do it?

If she thinks her being VP would get them over the finish line she would do it for the nation and human race.

8. Jill Stein offered Bernie the Green Party in 2016. Hmmmm....n/t

[Moderateguy]

9. I don't think there will be a serious third party contender...

It will not be that overt. If there is a third party contender that enables a 2nd Trump term, they instantly become the most hated person in America (and probably the world). I don't see anyone signing up to do that unless Putin offers them asylum in Russia beforehand.

10. You have far greater faith in your candidate

to do the right thing than I do.

[Moderateguy]

15. No

Democratic voters have had to been in a coma for the last few years to NOT know that my preferred candidate (lol) is a Putin/Assad/Modi stooge. She mostly appeals to ALT-RIGHT voters

[obamanut2012]

18. Then why are you voting for, or did vote for Gabbard???

[Moderateguy]

20. LOL..

It's a parody...I was a Bloomberg supporter who voted for Biden in TX primary

[Cirque du So-What]

22. ...

[mikeysnot]

11. They won't need to

if Biden is the nom.

[Eliot Rosewater]

13. What does that mean?

[Sunsky]

16. Yup because it will be a waste of money

Because Biden will win. Joementum is real. We've surpassed 2016 level in many states primary. Dems are fired up. Before we only knew of Trump (easier to be mislead), now we know him and reject him.

[healthnut7]

12. I think it will be Gabbard.

Maybe that's why she is still hanging in there.

[obamanut2012]

17. 100% Gabbard -- I said this months and months ago
