Democratic National Committee Vice Chair Tulsi Gabbard resigned from her post on Sunday to endorse Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders, following months of rising tensions within the group.
"I think it’s most important for us, as we look at our choices as to who our next commander in chief will be, is to recognize the necessity to have a commander in chief who has foresight, who exercises good judgment," Gabbard, a U.S. representative for Hawaii, said on NBC's "Meet the Press."
Gabbard, one of five vice chairs, and her committee colleagues have butted heads over a thin debate schedule in the months leading to Democratic voting contests for the party's nomination, with Gabbard calling for the group to add more debates to the calendar.

All Gabbard had to do was ride the tide and parrot the party line to reap the benefits if HRC wins. If her actions were based on her personal belief in Sanders, I applaud her convictions.
Nothing else, she sure made a statement about her take on HRC's judgement abilities.

I'd love to hear more from her and her opinions. Leaving the DNC like this provides her with no gains that I can think of. She's rooting for the underdog and is leaving because of the way the DNC has been operating.
I hope she gives an interview somewhere and explores her opinions in depth.

With Ron Paul and Sanders there's been a political change in the winds. He may not win and we may have to suffer a Clinton presidency, or worse Trump, but I think she will be the last establishment politician to take office because people want real change. Will she last more than one term? I doubt it.

I agree!
What is making me uncomfortable in this election cycle is how blatantly the Globalists *both sides* are showing their true colors on how rigged and corrupt our Federal government really is, and yet I am not seeing it make the people as angry as I was expecting. Sure, we are hearing that is why Trump and Sanders have such a following, but with the DNC and RNC shenanigans happening to prevent anyone or anything from ruining their reign, and them not even trying to hide it, I am not seeing many realizing it on that level.
Are they really noticing the curtain being opened? I sure as hell hope so, because we won't have another chance if we can't get our collective heads out of our asses and realize all of the things used against us to make us fight against each other is what has lead us to this moment?

You are absolutely correct.
DN C chair says superdelegates ensure elites don’t have to run “against grassroots activists”

I have to wonder how the DNC will punish her.
A Clinton Presidency.

That's how WE get punished.
Yup. She should get sworn in wearing latex and holding a bullwhip.
