    Tulsi Gabbard? She's marching to her own drum.

Well, the human mealworm is out there, I saw him on Fox a week or two ago. His delivery sucks. The others, I will grant you agreement, but not Tulsi, who is currently covering for Tucker Carlson's primetime slot. I guess if "the beat of her own drum" constitutes pretending to be a leftist for a few years while parroting right wing extremist talking points, sure. Her delivery is even worse. It makes you realize how much Tucker routinely gets away with saying, just because of how he says it.

    Trump is definitely going to run Trump.

100% agree on that, I just don't see the party managing to shake him. Even when he lies so poorly that by the time his sycophants in congress repeat his most recent lie, he's already contradicted them with a brand new one. Meh, it doesn't matter too much who leads the fascists, because we are still woefully far from confronting the underlying issues driving this faux-populist bullshit.

Check this out though. Batshit. It's a level of absurdity so high that I'm pretty sure you could convince even the most hardcore Tucker fans that it's grade-AA whackadoodle. It might take a whole four minutes to debunk those two minutes of content. It's crazy how radical political rhetoric is allowed to get if it's completely insulated from criticisms. The best is how it ends, like, the viewer is supposed to think "No, the threat of violence is NOT from the extremists. It's from republicans, like me!"
