Other than a few Taibbi general purpose barbs in direction of conservatives, a well-written piece and well-worth a read. MSM is smearing Gabbard by borrowing their earlier talking points from ORANGEMANBAD playbook - shows they have really weak imagination.

Gabbard, 38, burst into headlines after a July 31 Democratic Party presidential debate, when she went after California Senator Kamala Harris’s record as Attorney General of the State of California. The “smear campaign” refers to the bizarre avalanche of negative press that ensued, as reporters seemed to circle wagons around a Harris, a party favorite...

The Detroit crowd cheered all the way through Gabbard’s next point, about Harris’ blocking the introduction of DNA evidence in a murder case. The applause unnerved Harris, who looked like someone dented her car. She’d been at 20 points in a July 2 Quinnipiac poll; after a multi-week slide that culminated with Gabbard’s attack, Harris was at 7 percent, a “distant fourth” behind Joe Biden, Elizabeth Warren, and Bernie Sanders.

Having wounded a presumptive frontrunner backed by nearly $25 million in campaign funds, Gabbard instantly became the subject of a slew of negative leaks, tweets, and press reports. Many of these continued the appalling recent Democratic Party tradition of denouncing anything it doesn’t like as treasonous aid to foreign enemies...

Harris herself meanwhile gave a sneering interview to Anderson Cooper. “This is going to sound immodest,” she said, but as a “top-tier candidate,” she could “only take what [Gabbard] says and her opinion so seriously.” She added Gabbard was an “apologist for an individual, Assad, who has murdered the people of his country like cockroaches.”

The New York Times wrote Gabbard believes the United States has “wrought horror on the world,” and that “critics have called her actions un-American.” Politico denounced Gabbard’s “Star Wars bar scene-like following” and hissed that the Daily Stormer was a supporter (Gabbard has repeatedly condemned white nationalism and sworn off their support). On The View, co-host Sunny Hostin called Gabbard a “Trojan Horse,” while Ana Navarro viciously insinuated Gabbard, an Iraq veteran, was part of a foreign column.

The last thing "globalists" want is for somebody like her to pull us out of the middle east, they have thier money and media going full throttle.

Yah that is super obvious.
It’s ok though. We have four more years of a Trumptastic second term to look forward to!

IShe will not "poll" the required % to qualify for the September debates. The Democratic pollsters will make sure...

Good! That’s the classy thing to do, and should it make it past the oligarch gatekeepers, people will notice and perhaps approve. I am not sure if Democrats are worthy of someone like her.

Quite sure Democrats are not worthy of her...and most of D Presidential candidates should be institutionalized in one way or other (with exception of Yang and of course Tulsi).
