Tulsi’s going to soldier on whether she gets into the October debate or not, at least through the early primaries if not all the way to the convention. She absolutely ought to, at least through the early primaries, considering the most recent Emerson poll (a more highly respected pollster than several of the “qualified” DNC polls) in New Hampshire shows Tulsi (6%) in sixth place, just behind wannabe “top tier” Kamala Harris (8%) — and that’s even within the poll’s statistical margin of error.

Add to this that Tulsi’s got one of the best Congressional attendance records of any of the candidates, that she’s faithfully fulfilling her once-a-month weekend National Guard duties (it’s quite a plane trip from Washington to Honolulu, six time zones), and that she took two critical weeks off from her campaign to fulfill her annual Guard commitment at a training mission in Indonesia.

Tulsi’s going to keep on fighting, as she’s already pledged to do, whether she makes the October debate or not.
