By artappraiser on Fri, 01/11/2019 - 10:05pm |

We're less than 400 days out from the Iowa Caucuses, and even a casual observer can see a ton of action on the Democratic presidential primary front.

With graph with pix arranged according to "Announced/Exploratory/Possible", cross-links and some original commentary.

She made a big break with the DNC 3 1/2 years ago over the divine issue of # of debates and Syria (spoiler: that wicked Hillary caused it all, and it was rugged against Bernie) - and then went silent as a mole over Syria til now, aside from a few loving visits to Fox and Freunden. What will our Maui hippy krishna girl bring to the party this time?

"Tulsi lied to me about EVERYTHING" - Crooks & Liars' Managing Director:

My issue with Tulsi: She lied to me about EVERYTHING in 2011 when I interviewed her. Literally everything. It is as if she lied her way into Congress so she could become a right-winger.

(This is my personal view and doesn’t reflect that of my employer. It is also a fact)

I can't tell if he's being sarcastic or not.

It certainly is a sign of what the Axios article says: Be smart: Every single indicator is going off that this will not be a friendly election to milquetoast or moderation.
