What about Tulsi Gabbard?

Constitutional law says that one must be a "natural born citizen" of the US to be President. Does being born in American Samoa qualify, or does it have to be an actual state?

BQ: Has anybody heard of her before today?

I've followed her career for some time. She is a natural born citizen having been born in a territory. I think she's a reasonable candidate as she thinks for herself and isn't a party sycophant. She also isn't a DNC darling.

@CopperCicada I woke up and saw she announced it and was so stoked. I kinda thought she would, but glad she is committed

@MethDozer It is going to be interesting. She's nobody's bitch and will take risks.

It's also going to be epic what the evangelical right is going to do to her. They're going to pull out the most fucked up snapshots of Hinduism to smear her. Aghora sadhus eating human flesh. Shit like that.

@MethDozer And the DNC isn't going to legitimately primary anyone. They're behind closed doors planning her sabotage-- right now. Comments to news articles are already full of corporate democrat haters.

@CopperCicada That's the thing. Really I fear the attacks from an archaic DNC than I do anyone else. I am sure there will.be a strong DNC sabotage attempt as there was with Sanders for Tulsi. The GOP and the right will basically have the same attack for her that they have for anyone.

Like Sanders, her greatest enemy will be her own party stuck in the past when it comes to campaigns and trying to give it to the "entitled".
