There are several candidates in the Democratic primary that most of us would agree

have very little chance to win the nomination. But, these folks have every right to be in the race. They are honest, sincere people who contribute valuable ideas and enthusiasm to our party. And, while I don't believe I will have the opportunity, I could vote for any of them with a clear conscience and the certainty that I'd voted for the best candidate running for POTUS. This is true of all the "minor" candidates EXCEPT---Tulsi.

In my view, she criticizes the Democratic Party not to improve it, but to damage it. Her judgment is flawed, her integrity suspect and her true motivation for entering the primary a mystery. As I type this, some of her attacks on our party in this evening's debate are being quoted on Trump's "War Room" web site.

Those who support her oppose the Democratic party that I have supported for over 50 years. My precinct committeeman union member Dad and civil servant Mom would spin in their graves if I supported such a pretend Democrat. They will continue to rest in peace.

She is antagonistic to the Democratic Party. It doesn’t make sense.

I heard her use "Democrat" as an adjective, something I rarely hear from a Democrat.

That her vision for American foreign policy would directly benefit Putin. I see a lot of people praising her for her bold stand against the MIC, but they always leave that part out.

Definitely all of of our top tier and most of the lower tier at this time. Some of the lower tier are amazing Democratic powerhouses, if I'm being totally frank! Great Democrats one and all. They make me proud of my Party and my choices in my political life thus far.

Tulsi is not within any of my previous comments. I feel no pride she's attached to our party. There are intentional actions on her part which worry me greatly.

I want us united not divided by obvious tactics.
