Did anyone feel that Tulsi Gabbard was sorely missed in tonight's debate?

Did anyone wish that she could participate and add her voice to the chorus? Would tonight have been a better event had she been involved?

I personally feel that we were much better served by finally having a one-on-one contest between the two people who actually have a shot at winning. Tulsi has had repeated chances to break through and yet she is still in the low single digits. I also did not see any advantage to having her come on stage, in a Democratic debate, and launch mean-spirited personal attacks against our party's last nominee, who has served our country so honorably over the years.

5. I have never been a big fan of the sarcasm tag.

I feel like it takes away from the drama of the moment.

Anyway, I wasn't exactly being sarcastic. I was making a point about Tulsi's complaint. She said, essentially, that her absence left the debate incomplete. I felt that tonight showed the race finally coming down to the two candidates who have dominated in the polls all along and were finally the only remaining people on the debate stage.

Tulsi's presence would have been an intrusion and it would have diminished the quality of the debate IMO.

Not one damn bit

[eilen]

24. I bet she had a prior gig scheduled on Fox News during the debate. nt

[djg21]

25. No.

Not even an iota. Who cares. She isn’t a viable candidate and has no business participating in a debate at this late stage of the primary process.

[liberal N proud]

26. Tulsi who?

[MontanaMama]

28. It's "Tulski".

Fixed for for you.

[Vivienne235729]

36. That's so fitting. Lol

[beachbumbob]

30. nope, don't need the future Jill Stein on stage at all

[LiberalFighter]

31. If she was allowed on then they would had to have everyone else included.

[Vivienne235729]

32. Why is it even a question? Tulsi has no business being here. She's tipped her cards

And is telling us EXACTLY who she is. How un American. Not that it matters bc she's truly a nonentity. But that 0.3% are still clinging on to make some obscure, worthless point that no one gives a shit about.

[StevieM]

34. LOL, I think you missed the point of my post.

It was to let people like you point out why it is ridiculous to suggest that there was something unfair about Tulsi not being invited to the debate.

And I am definitely not a Gabbard supporter. I was for Mayor Pete and now I am for Biden.

[OnDoutside]

33. She's like the dinner party guest who hangs around when everyone else has gone home, and people

are too polite to tell them to go.

She needed to go, weeks ago.

[SCantiGOP]

35. Not even close to breaking news:

Tulsi still at 1% in DU poll.
Tulsi still has 2 delegates, which means she is only 1,989 delegates from securing the nomination.

Go, go, Tulsi. Seriously, go away.
