As of the day after the Democrat debate, I thought we had seen the last of Tulsi Gabbard. The congressman from Hawaii had missed the third debate because her poll numbers were too low (below the required minimum of 2% support in four polls) but she just squeaked into the fourth debate with poll results the week prior to the event. Gabbard has languished with extremely low levels of support and it just didn't look like she could get much attention. Even at the debate, the moderators hardly called on her. For example, Warren got three times more air time than Gabbard. Now, that seems likely to change and all because a crazy Hillary Clinton decided to attack Gabbard with preposterous charges of being a Russian agent.
At this moment, three of the trending topics on Twitter are about Tulsi. I don't recall that ever happening with any other Democrat this year. Tulsi has broken through and actually gotten major coverage in the media. My guess is that she will be up substantially in the next round of polls. Of course, at 4% support, Tulsi would have a major bump up but still be an also ran. Nevertheless, Hillary's crazy attack may be enough to keep Tulsi in the race.
