The Incredible Shrinking Tulsi Gabbard
Yes glinda. I've heard several news stories since Saturday about other candidates who announced their intention to run for president - - Tulsi wasn't even mentioned. Not even as an also-running candidate or after thought at the close of the stories.
I think her baggage was/is just too much, starting with her support for the Hawaii Constitutional Amendment 2 in 1998, which defended traditional marriage and banned same sex unions. It passed with 69.2% of the vote.
Voters enjoy the luxury of discarding and forgetting their own doddery personal views, but won't overlook and forgive the same views abandoned by candidates when those positions go out of fashion.
