Tulsi Up -- No Surprise There

The Clinton effect on the campaign of Tulsi Gabbard is now being reported by the AP.  There are no polls yet to measure the boost that the hated Hillary gave to Tulsi, but anecdotal evidence from the AP reporter who covers Gabbard is that her crowds are larger and more supportive in Iowa where she campaigned yesterday.

The reality is that having a disgusting liar like Hillary Clinton call you a "Russian asset" while offering no evidence of any sort to support that charge is a great way for Tulsi to get needed attention.  Instead of being tenth or eleventh in a huge field of candidates, Tulsi became the one with major coverage.  For a day there were more stories about Tulsi and the Hillary drive by attack on her than there were about whatever the latest excuse from Joe Biden about corrupt activities by Hunter is.  The Tulsi coverage in the media even rivaled the negative coverage of whatever President Trump did that day.  It's the kind of free media coverage that a campaign like Gabbard's could never get before.

Meanwhile, Clinton seems to have disappeared from the spotlight again.  Rumor is that she is home in Chappaqua having cocktails.
