Democrats, and some Republicans, are concerned that Tulsi might not lie 24 hours a day, spreading CNN/CIA propaganda that would insult a third-grader, but the rest of us are intrigued by what it might be like to have someone in that position who isn’t a clone of Mitt Romney or Hillary Clinton.
What’s been interesting to watch in all this has been the conduct of Bernie Sanders, who’s been his usual phony self.
That Bernie endorsed Hillary Clinton in the face of DNC shenanigans against him and, much more importantly, Hillary’s hawkish and morally repugnant foreign policy — which in the old days progressives would have considered non-negotiable and disqualifying — told us pretty much what we needed to know.
But his behavior regarding Tulsi takes the cake.
He knows full well that the dumb-guy criticisms are false, but because he goes along to get along, he jumped on the anti-Tulsi bandwagon anyway.
Tulsi actually stepped down as vice chair of the Democratic National Committee over its unfair treatment of Bernie, and then went to work for him.

In the past, Bernie has described Tulsi as “one of the important voices of a new generation of leaders. As a veteran of the Iraq War she understands the cost of war and is fighting to create a foreign policy that not only protects America but keeps us out of perpetual wars that we should not be in.”
The only reason Bernie opposes Tulsi is his obeisance to the Democratic Party. He surely realizes that from his (alleged) point of view Tulsi is the best he is going to get in that position, and anyone else who might get nominated in her place would be much worse. He knows that. He opposes her anyway.
I used to hear Bernie described as the left’s answer to Ron Paul. You have to be kidding me.
Dr. Paul’s congressional career was entirely different. Ron believed in things — and had a spine.
