    Tulsi Gabbard (born April 12, 1981) is an American politician serving as the U.S. Representative for Hawaii's 2nd congressional district since 2013. Following her election in 2012, she became the first Samoan American and the first Hindu member of the United States Congress. She is a member of the Democratic Party.

    Gabbard served in a field medical unit of the Hawaii Army National Guard in a combat zone in Iraq from 2004 to 2005 and was deployed to Kuwait from 2008 to 2009. She previously served in the Hawaii House of Representatives from 2002 to 2004. When she was elected to the Hawaii House of Representatives at age 21, Gabbard was the youngest woman to be elected to a U.S. state legislature. Gabbard was a vice chair of the Democratic National Committee until February 28, 2016, when she resigned to endorse Senator Bernie Sanders for the 2016 Democratic presidential nomination.

    As of 2019, Gabbard supports abortion rights, Medicare for All and same-sex marriage; she opposed the Trans-Pacific Partnership. She is critical of interventionism in Iraq, Libya, and Syria. She also denounced U.S. involvement in the Yemeni Civil War and is outspoken against intervention in the 2019 Venezuelan presidential crisis. Her opposition to removing Syrian President Bashar al-Assad from power by force and her voting and lobbying against LGBT rights prior to 2005 have attracted controversy. She has since changed her views.

    On January 11, 2019, Gabbard announced her campaign for the Democratic nomination for President of the United States in 2020.

    Forget about the LGBTQRXYZ stuff because everyone was against it before they were for it but it seems to be a contradiction on her being against intervention which is good yet she was criticized for not intervening in Syria? And now she is for it?

    CHANG: What are zombie campaigns?

    O'DONNELL: We started looking at the spending of lawmakers who have left office and what they're doing with their leftover campaign donations and were kind of surprised to find that there was actually a hundred campaigns that are still spending unused campaign donations.

    CHANG: We're talking about campaigns long dead?

    O'DONNELL: Yeah, campaigns where the lawmaker has - it's been at least two years since they were either in a office or campaigning. And even though they've moved on to new careers or they're retired, they're still spending from their campaign accounts - in some cases, home items that would almost certainly be deemed personal use.

    CHANG: So what are some examples you've found?

    O'DONNELL: Well, Ron Paul, former presidential candidate, for example, was still paying his daughter five years after he left office. Mark Foley, a former Florida Representative - he's paying for his opera membership and to dine in the Palm Beach social circuit. And perhaps our best example was Robin Tallon, a former South Carolina representative, who 25 years after he left office was paying for computers, paying his son a salary and reimbursing himself for - to the tune of $31,000 for something that he didn't - you know, didn't explain or detail in these reports.

    CHANG: This is a man whose left office in 1993.

    O'DONNELL: That's right, just the same year that Bill Clinton entered the White House. And that campaign account has been open all that time while he's been working as a lobbyist.

    CHANG: Was Robin Tallon - if all those allegations are true, was Robin Tallon breaking the law?

    O'DONNELL: Well, that really depends on who you ask, and that's one of the things the investigation found. It's that there's almost no laws about what happens once you leave office. Basically the reports are treated the same way. So it's almost as if the FEC isn't paying attention to who's in office or campaigning and who is, as we call them, a zombie.

    CHANG: What should a responsible former politician do with any extra money after a campaign's wrapped up? I mean, you know, if that person is not in office or never was able to win office, where should that money go ideally?

    O'DONNELL: Well, they have a lot of options that are legal and I don't think anyone would have a problem with. So for example, Senator - former Senator Joe Lieberman and former Representative Charlie Norwood - they both donated more than 90 percent of their leftover campaign money, and they had closed their accounts in less than a year, you know, terminated their campaign fund.

    As much as I think this is good news, I'm skeptical of the debate mod and how she will be treated.

    Those massive GOP debates in 2016 would have been an epic failure if not for Trump making it must see TV

    It could be interesting to see how some Dem tries to stand out among the crowd

    I'm looking forward to the knickname Trump gives hers. If actually does get a knickname? She will be deemed relevant.

    Trump still wins.

    It’s written very poorly but the “she has since changed her view” is about gay rights only.

    Oh she’ll get treated like shit. She has to be ready to flip the questions into her own points. They’ll set up the dems they like with easy questions but tough questions will give her an opportunity to shine.
