MANCHESTER, N.H.Tulsi Gabbard wasnt present.

Not physically, at least. But in the small, half-filled Rex Theatre in downtown Manchester, it didnt seem to matter. While seven of her top Democratic rivals prepared to hit the stage in Los Angeles for the sixth primary debate, a group of Gabbards most ardent loyalists were glued to a large-screen projector, where a livestream of Gabbards face, fixed between panels of tulle wrapped in twinkling lights, beamed in from Washington, D.C.

I really wish I could be there to hug you, she said, to no one in particular.

Citing a conflicting House vote in Congress, the Hawaii Democrat wasnt in Manchester for her campaigns much-hyped party alternative to Thursday nights debate, for which she failed to qualify. The party, and the debate, came the day after Gabbard had set Washington ablaze by voting present on the two articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump, which occurred for only the third time in the countrys history.

Aides to Democratic presidential candidates often say the topic of impeachment rarely comes up on the campaign trail. Voters, the thinking goes, prefer asking about kitchen table issues, like jobs. But here, it was the first question.

My decision to vote present was a decision to actively protest this zero-sum mentality that rules over our politics today, the four-term congresswoman told a skeptical attendee of her vote on the second article of impeachment, obstruction of Congress.

On top of being a self-proclaimed act of protest, Gabbard explained, to delayed applause, her present proclamation was an attempt to stand for our people, our county, and our future.

Were going to continue to see this spiraling downward, she said.

During the two-hour event, Gabbards fiercest fans praised her dovish foreign and liberal domestic policy, a hallmark of her nearly year-long campaign, and asked whether she would ever ditch the Democratic Party, with which she frequently clashes. No, she strongly implied, brushing off naysayers who speculate she may launch a third-party bid, an idea that she has routinely shot down.

Still, at multiple points in the night, she praised nearly every other conceivable party, in addition to her own.

I appreciate the voice the Libertarian Party brings to this conversation, Gabbard said. It is necessary.

Richard Manzo, the vice chair of the Libertarian Party of New Hampshire, was in attendance, and had mixed reactions about Gabbards impeachment move.

I wish she would have taken a stance one way or another, Manzo told The Daily Beast. But it wasnt enough to change his likely primary vote on Feb. 11. Im leaning towards voting for her, he said.

Mark Colvin, one of Gabbards most passionate supporters who drove from Boston to see her video conference through the projector, had no such reservations. Shes the only one who got it right, he said about her stance. Shes a patriot.

Gabbard has made New Hampshire a top campaign priority in recent weeks, and there are early signs her work is resonating with segments of the electorate, particularly independent voters. As The Daily Beast recently reported, pollsters argue there is evidence to believe Gabbard is already poking holes at the independent bloc that helped sweep Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) to victory here in 2016. In a Suffolk University survey conducted in November, Gabbard receives five times as much support among independents as she does among Democrats.

But Thursday nights set up hardly seemed poll-tested. In fact, the lines between substance and style frequently blurred, with campaign aides moonlighting as singers and poets, and a professional Trump impersonator taking cracks at the commander in chief.

At times, the vibe felt like multiple genres of YouTube were merging on loop: Gabbards sister Vrindavan, also known as V, performed a virtual hula dance, while Gabbard and her husband Abraham Williams reminisced about when they were first dating.

Looking forward to hearing your song later! Gabbard told a volunteer, one of several she publicly acknowledged from a lengthy roster. At one point, a guitarist with long curly blonde hair wearing a pink lei serenaded audience members.

Tul-seeeeee, Tulsi 2020, he sang to attendees, who clapped along enthusiastically. Everyone! Were backing Tulsiiiiii, shes the onlyyyyy choice.

If youre not sure if youre on keyI would say sing louder! Gabbards Deputy Campaign Manager Caitlin Rose Pomerantz instructed the crowd.

Shortly after, lyrics titled, We, The People appeared on the screen, replacing Gabbard. After that, her aide recited a poem with the identical name.

When we get bitter, thats when they win, Rose Pomerantz said. We are the people who are still alive inside.

Tulsi Gabbard Beamed in to Her Debate Night Alternative Event - The Daily Beast

Mark Stewart is running for president of the United States, but he knows he wont win.

That said, hes officially on the ballot the Vermont Secretary of States office released its official list of presidential primary candidates this week, and Stewarts name is there, along with names like Biden, Bloomberg, Warren, Sanders and Trump.

Im on the ballot to try to make a stink in four states, Stewart said.

Vermont approved his ballot application he submitted a petition with 1,200 names on the list and hell be running in the Democratic primary for sure in New Hampshire and California. Rhode Island is still a hurdle, but hes confident hell make it on that states ballot, too.

Im not doing Connecticut, he said. The ballot access to too hard.

Stewart knows that winning the presidency is unrealistic, but his goal is not actually a victory.

What he wants is for an outsider, for a free-market Libertarian, to voice issues within the primary process, to roll back socialism and try to extinguish the leftist lurch that leaders in the democrat party have.

I dont believe your average Democrat voter really buys into all the big government promises that these televised candidates want, he said.

Stewart is also vying to be the Libertarian Partys choice for vice president, and hopes that running for president will help him be seen as a fighter.

If I have a little cred as a warrior it might help, he said.

But Stewart said his primary goal is to inspire other potential candidates.

I know there will be other candidates for state house seats and maybe even congressional seats that have until now felt stymied, he said. We need more people running for offices. if more candidates are in the mix we get better public servants.

Stewart whose full name is Mark Stewart Greenstein is originally from West Hartford, where he still calls home. He founded and runs an SAT-prep firm, and said he intends to spend no more than $99,900 on his own campaign.

This is not the first time hes run a long-shot campaign for national office. Four years ago, he was on the ballot in Rhode Island, for the sole purpose of beating Hillary Clinton. He received 240 votes, which put him in third place.

The main mission four years ago was not to run for president, but to stop Hillary, he said.

He ran for Senate in New York also for the stated purpose of beating Clinton in 2006. This year, he tried for the 5th Connecticut State Senate District, and garnered 0.5 percent of the electorate, a total of 51 votes.

In 2018 he ran an unsuccessful bid for Connecticut governor, against Ned Lamont. He qualified for the November ballot, but said it did not go well. He received only 0.1 percent of the vote.

In that race, he ran under the Amigo Constitution Party, but Stewart is currently trying to form a new political party he calls EPIC, an acronym for Every Politically Independent Citizen.

The new party will run a convention in August. Stewarts last primary in this election cycle will be when Rhode Islanders go to the polls on April 28, 2020, called the Acela primary. That will give his EPIC party enough time to register any candidates for office who have become disillusioned with the major parties, he said.

As for why hes running as a Democrat, in the Democratic primary, Stewart said its because they need the most help.

They are so wayward in their leadership, he said. They give rise to leftism, which I will define as people who want to take America down.

But the EPIC party will not be choosy when it comes to political affiliation.

This is a beautiful way to offer conservatism as a candidate and not be painted as pro-Trump, he said.

Useful Tips for Writing an Application in College - The Libertarian Republic

December 7th commemorates a day America sets its jaw, rolled up its sleeves, and vowed to counterattack a vicious totalitarian enemy.

In short order this enemy much of its homeland in virtual ashes - found itself degradingly signing an unconditional surrender. This enemy was shocked at the courage and resourcefulness in battle of the sleeping giant they wokeand equally shocked by its magnanimity in victory.

On the other hand, Dec. 17th commemorates a day a whimpering American president surrendered unconditionally to blackmail from the totalitarian enemy 90 miles off our coast.

The Fake News Media, Democrats and libertarians hail Obamas surrender to Raul Castro as an opening! as a diplomatic milestone! In fact it was a humiliating U.S. surrender to terrorist regime that had kidnapped a U.S. hostage named Alan Gross and offered to exchange him upon the freeing and return to Cuba of multi-convicted Castroite spy/terrorist/murderer (of American citizens) Gerardo Hernandez.

We WON THE WAR! exhulted Stalinist dictator Raul Castro on Dec. 20th, 2014.

This blackmail by the mass-murdering Russian satraps on our doorstep gave Obama just the excuse he needed to finally and officially--buddy-up with them, a Democrat goal/craving for decades.

In brief: Obamas Cuba legacy (for the folks who actually bother to study this issue) is simply one of shame, disgrace and humiliation for the USA.And oh! Almost forgotincreased poverty and repression for the Cuban people, for whom Obama (and his lap-dog media) claimed he was acting as benefactor.

In brief, everything your humble servant predicted on Fox News five years ago came to pass.

Not that the prediction required special clairvoyance or education. Practically all of those media-loathed deplorable right-wing Cuban exiles! (i.e. people with actual experience under Castroism) were predicting the identical thing.

Accurate predictions regarding Cuba policy is not rocket science, amigos. Its simply a matter of rejecting practically everything the Fake News Media has reported about the Castros and Che Guevara since 1957.

You see, amigos: Back onDecember 3rd, 2009, Alan Gross, a U.S. citizen distributing cell phones and computer equipment to Cubas Jewish community on contract for the U.S. Agency for International Development, prepared to board a plane homeward at Havanas International Airport. Hovering nearby, but unnoticed by Mr. Gross, were plainclothes officers of Castros KGB-trained secret-police.

As the boarding order loomed, these officers rushed up and grabbed Mr. Gross, who then languished in Castros dungeons until he was ransomed by Obama on Dec. 17th 2014, under the guise of a diplomatic opening.

This ransoming involved treachery on the part of the State Department that rivaled their treachery in the Benghazi scandal/tragedy. Your humble servant detailed this treachery right here at Townhall.

The U.S. ransom was almost unprecedentedly shameful in the annals of U.S. diplomacy. I say almost because it closely mimicked the whimpering Obamas ransom to the snickering Taliban for Bowe Bergdahl. Youll recall the Taliban got five of their terrorists back from Gitmo as the ransom.

But Castro came out of his blackmailing of Obama smelling even rosier than the Taliban. In fact, well before the Stalinist dictator got his spy/murderer back, Castro was already reaping enormous benefits from the Obama Team.

You see, amigos:Promptly upon entering office in 2009Obama began frantically issuing executive orders to circumvent the (so-called) embargo of Cuba and open a financial lifeline from the U.S. (often on the taxpayers dime) to the Castro Family-Crime-Syndicate (grotesquely mislabeled as Cuba by the Fake News Media.)

Here I come to save the day! was a good motto for Obama and his team of whimpering Cuba policy Pajama Boys (Ben Rhodes, particularly) - because that U.S. economic lifeline came just as Venezuelas was drying up.

Despite Deep State (especially Deep State Department) foot-dragging and outright sabotage, the Trump Team recognized and rectified the Democrat racket to extend the terror-sponsoring Castro regime a financial lifeline. The squeals of pain and outrage from Castros (unregistered) U.S. agents provide the best proof.

Whats good for General Motors is good for the U.S. went the old (misquote) of GM CEO Charles Wilson. Well, whatevers BAD in the eyes of the New York Times is GREAT for the U.S. And the New York Times detests Trumps Cuba policy.

Interestingly, similar to Patty Hearst with her kidnappers, Castros kidnap victim Alan Gross seemed to develop (a type of) crush on his kidnappersthough on a different level than Hearsts.

Once free upon Obamas surrender to his kidnappers, Alan Gross quickly joined the ranks of Castros (unregistered) U.S. agents in calling for an end to the (so-called) Cuban embargo.

Oh, I knowI know the liberal/libertarian mantra has it that the embargo is the Castro regimes best friend because it gives them an excuseblahblahblah. Despite this Ana Belen Montes, Carlos and Elsa Alvarez and Kendall and Gwendolyn Myers (all convicted Castroite spies in federal prison today) worked tirelessly to influence U.S. policy AGAINST the embargo while working as secret agents. Interesting no?If that doesnt close the case against the KGB/Castro-crafted and liberal/libertarian-parroted anti-embargo meme I dont know what does.

Alan Gross started chanting the Castro/KGB-crafted and liberal/libertarian-parroted critique of the (so-called) embargo perfectly on cue, almost upon his release.

Afterwards he took to bashing Trumps Cuba policy and even comparing Trump to Fidel Castro! Well, kidnap and Stockholm-syndrome victim Alan Gross was always an Obama backer. But heres a question:

Would a snickering Castro have tried his little kidnapping of a U.S. hostage stunt with Trump in the White House? Not a chance.

NEW YORK (WCBS 880) There's an unlikely alliance between the Libertarian and the Green Parties in New York State, both fighting new rules they think might box them out of future elections.

It's not often you see leaders of the Libertarian Party and the Green Party sharing a podium, but thats exactly what happened recently, according to WCBS 880s Steve Burns.

The Libertarian Party is pleased to partner with the Green, said Libertarian Party of New York Chairman Jim Rosenbeck.

Rosenbeck says the new rules set up by the Public Campaign Financing Commission are insulting to New Yorkers.

We find it to be a shameless attempt to limit public debate, he said.

In order to have full ballot status parties need to receive at least 50,000 votes in governor's races.

The new rules raise that threshold to a 130,000 votes, or 2% of total turnout whichever is higher.

Those totals have to be attained every two years instead of every four.

Green Party of New York Co-Chairman Peter Lavenia says they'll likely be knocked off the ballot in the next two years over the changes.

Were looking at this as an assault on democracy, he said.

The two parties are filing a joint lawsuit against the commission.

State lawmakers could reconvene and change the rules, though that prospect is looking increasingly unlikely with a deadline at the end of this week.
