Tulsi's 2.5 hour interview with Joe Rogan 6 days ago resulted in a solid attention bump.

The YouTube version of the video has so far garnered more than 1.6 million views, and on average his podcast downloads are about double that number.

After that interview, Tulsi's Instagram account gained 11,000 new followers and her Twitter account gained 30,000 new followers. The more people watching her on a regular basis, the better!

Tulsi got a couple of major endorsements (of sorts) this past week.

Joe Rogan

First, and probably most importantly, was Joe Rogan who commented in one of his shows that he is voting for Tulsi and not even thinking about anyone else. Rogan had interviewed Tulsi last September (well before she declared), which was a very good conversation.

There are rules, you see. Many, many rules. So speaketh the DNC.

In order to get a spot in the first two televised national Democratic debates, you must reach at least one of two goals. 1) Get 65,000 unique donors to your campaign; or 2) score at least 1% or more in three separate polls in a nationwide or Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada, or South Carolina poll from a predetermined slate of poll takers.

And, there can only be 20 total candidates (that's another rule).

Hello All,

First, in response to others saying Leftists should support Bernie unless they have an adversity to winning elections, I propose a couple of thoughts. The first is this link showing Jimmy Carter's status in the Democratic primary race through June of 1975--he's almost exactly where Tulsi is right now in polling, and guess what? He won against the giants of his time.

Tulsi turned 38 two days ago (April 12)!!! Happy birthday to her!

Niko House interviewed candidate Mike Gravel yesterday. Gravel is a former Democratic Senator from Alaska for 12 years, before which he was involved in the Pentagon Papers and Watergate (on the correct side of things).

She did it, an hour ago!

Tulsi Gabbard now has enough individual donors to make it into the televised Democratic debates! Thanks to those of you who helped, either by becoming a donor, or in spirit!

An email today indicates that Tulsi is only 653 new donors away from making the 65,000 goal.

She just needs 19 new donors per day through May 14 in order to make it!

Plus, Tulsi evidently has studied many martial arts since she was a kid, including Capoeira. Here is a link posted showing her do some Capoeira (she's pretty good).
