Hillary Clinton says Tulsi Gabbard is a 'Russian asset'

She's polling at 1% among democratic primary voters. I don't really see how she is going to be viable as a 3rd party spoiler when she doesn't really have much support from Democratic voters.
 
No circular firing squad.

Normal firing squads still perfectly acceptable.

This just feeds progressive resentment that once again the objection was to firing back.

The last election was extremely close, and the republicans won by only a few thousand votes in a few key states. If we get a repeat of the 2016 election, then marginal votes like that may be important.

Remember, Nader polled with under 3% in 2000, and many democrats think that had he not run, his voters would have shifted to the Democrats and they might have won Florida (and thus the presidency).
 
She also said that Green Party presidential candidate in 2012 and 2016, Jill Stein, is "totally" a Russian asset.

I'd like to know how Bill convinced her that getting blow jobs from the intern at work was totally not a big deal. You know, for research.

From my observer's insight into straight people's relationships I'd guess it could easily be accomplished by asking "well, will you do it?" Delegation is a skill politicians must master.

Hillary Clinton said that Rep. Tulsi Gabbard is being groomed by Moscow to run as a third-party spoiler candidate in 2020 to help President Trump win reelection.

The former secretary of state pushed the theory on the Campaign HQ podcast hosted by David Plouffe, President Barack Obama’s campaign manager in 2008.

Wait, seriously?

I thought it was going to be something benign like "Gabbard's spoiling effect on the race is playing right into Putin's hands". Not literally "trained Russian agent".

ETA: From the link. The wording is a bit ambiguous, and doesn't actually mention training. Just "grooming":
"They are also going to do third party again," Clinton, 71, said. "I'm not making any predictions, but I think they’ve got their eye on somebody who is currently in the Democratic primary and are grooming her to be the third-party candidate," Clinton said, referring to Gabbard, without mentioning the Hawaii representative by name.

"She is a favorite of the Russians. They have a bunch of sites and bots and other ways of supporting her so far. That's assuming Jill Stein will give it up, which she might not because she is also a Russian asset.

"They know they can't win without a third-party candidate, and so I do not know who it's going to be, but I can guarantee you they will have a vigorous third-party challenge in the key states that they most need it."​

So it could very well be simply "Gabbard is effectively a Russian asset (but not literally their agent)".

On the other hand, things like "grooming" and "they will have a vigorous third-party challenge in the key states that they most need it" kind of suggests a higher level of cooperation between Gabbard and Russia than actually exists.

Either way, it's a ****** thing to say. And if one of Russia's goals is to undermine American faith in its system of government, then Hillary is playing right into Putin's hands by pushing this narrative.

Did you listen to the clip? She described the Russians supporting someone, presumably Gabbard, to be a spoiling effect. She did not say Gabbard was a trained Russian agent.

Also, who cares what Clinton says? She’s out of the picture.
