20. I agree. She has burned too many bridges.

But I do think she was smart, maybe not nice, but smart, about targeting a demographic that no one else was. And that could carry a candidate to victory against Trump. Her plan counted on connecting right away, and being a front runner. It didn't happen for her, and while I believe she has only the best intentions for the country, and its appalling and absurd the push to re-define her as working for Putin or Trump, she should realize that she has no chance, and hopefully decides not to fire too many holes in the ship on her way back to land.

Time will tell if we all were the stupid ones that rejected her. If Trump actually won in 2020, we may all lament not running a candidate like Tulsi who could have bridged The Great Divide, and dragged with her a majority of voters, as well as D seats.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
