Tulsi Gabbard is a decorated veteran, and is still a military policeman in the National Guard in Hawaii. Her speech is accurate and she makes so much sense when it comes to the wasting of money on the military industrial complex...something we can be sure HRC will do. I applaud her, and think Bernie should definitely place her on his short list for VP if he wins the nomination.

Gabbard is my hero, just for talking about this.

Hillary and her neocon buddies need to be kicked to the curb (and that curb should be very, very far away).

I can't think a more pressing or dead-serious subject.

The founder of the neocon movement, Robert Kagan, endorsed Hillary in February. Kagan was also one of Hillary Clinton's foreign-policy advisers while she was Secretary of State. And while she was Secretary of State, she was instrumental in toppling Gaddafi in Libya. Libya is one of the countries that the neocons have had in their crosshairs--since 1996 when they listed Libya in their war blueprints.

Distilled down--Clinton surrounds herself with hand-picked neocons. She works with them to take down the countries that they've wanted for twenty years. In turn, the founder of the war movement endorses her for President--over any Republican.

Enough. Seriously. Enough. And we have a very brave woman Tulsi Gabbard who is willing to take all of this on with Sanders. It's like the calvary has arrived.

She won't be 35 years old until next month.

She was born in American Samoa.

She is very, very young.

Like Barry Goldwater, I don't think the place of birth issue is relevant.

Personally, I think Tulsi Gabbard is a great Sanders pick for a running mate.

Sanders needs to pick a woman. I hear from a very few older Hillary supporters that they want to see a woman president in their lifetimes. By picking Gabbard and getting elected, the argument can be made that they will see a woman president very soon (I think Bernie is a one term president by choice).

And Gabbard would be a president who got there by merit, not by marriage.

but Gabbard is barely old enough, too young imo, although she could get a spot somewhere. Nina Turner has zero national experience. she served in the Ohio Senate.
