The thousands of people who have streamed to Bernie Sanderss rallies around the country in recent days have been treated to an opening act -- Rep. Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii -- who arguably does more to articulate Sanderss views on foreign policy than he does.
Gabbard, 34, who resigned as vice chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee last month to endorse Sanders for president, has been tasked with introducing him at recent events, including one here Thursday that drew more than 5,000 people.
Unlike the Vermont senator, who focuses heavily on domestic policy at his rallies, Gabbard is talking about U.S. entanglements abroad. And she doesnt pull any punches when relaying what she sees as a crucial difference between Sanders and her partys front-runner, Hillary Clinton
(snip)
She said she trusts Sanders to make those decisions about when and where our American military powers should be used and just as importantly, when and where it should not be used.

She'll be 35 next month, so eligible for the VP spot.
Things just got interesting.

(3,017 posts)I would prefer to see Tulsi Gabbard as Secretary of Defense or State and Elizabeth Warren as Secretary of the Treasury instead of either of them as Vice President. They would have much bigger impacts in those roles.

I already respected Rep. Gabbard for her valor. Now, I respect her candor and integrity just as much.
Let's support our troops and remember our veterans every day!

they looked around and saw time-servers, war hawks, Orwell-level flacks, and petty bullies, and said "enough"
