No matter what happens today, things are going to get better for Bernie. Why?

After all my rants about Rachel nothing was sweeter than watching her being left speechless by Tulsi Gabbard.

Tulsi slayed Hillary on foreign policy. You must listen to this. There is no video, just audio.

Start at 30:00 You won't be disappointed. (approx 5 mins)



Here is a mini video (not of the entire interview)


Unfortunately she didn't endorse sooner.
Now I know there are some things about Tulsi being a little rw - but one thing is undeniable, she is a veteran, she lived the outcome of Hillary's vote for the IWR. And is VERY concerned about Hillary being our CoC.
She is very well spoken, and attractive (which is great for tv).

"We're just beginning, Rachel".

yet to be that big of a deal, but what she had to say sure was.

It was devastating and I wish more people could see it before it is too late for Bernie.

and you could see they were so reluctant and sour-faced to have her on.
They placed her interview at the end of the segment, they didn't do any follow-up questions, they didn't mull it over with their "panels," all so they could give her the least amount of time and attention possible. After the interview, they moved on to whatever bullshit nonsense Mike fucking Huckabee spewed that day, as if the endorsement never happened.

You would think that MSM, which should cherish conflicts and sensationalism above all else for the sake of ratings, will love the story of Vice chairwoman of DNC stepping down to endorse one of the two candidates. But no. They have more important things to care about, which is to toe the line.

But despite all of that, Tulsi Gabbard is just terrific on FP. And she is so well-spoken. I would love to see her with Bernie on the campaign trail.

about this interview. All I heard was Bernie has no path to the nomination.

Things are going to change. She's going after Hillary on her strength (other than being a woman & it's her turn).

Wasserman-Schultz's face looking at Tulsi was incredible. The woman just spews hatred from her eyes...I loved it..
