Yes it is very likely. In 2016 Bernie needed a VP listed on the CA ballot and Tulsi was his VP on that ticket. Plus when Bernie interviewed on TYT Cenk asked him about his VP choice and he said a younger woman was likely so that pretty much makes the choice Tulsi or Turner. I suspect we will see Tulsi she will bring more to the ticket as she would bring all the support she is building for her own campaign.

@anthonyogletree5413 yes I would love to see commander bone spur try to attack someone who served 2 tours of duty in the middle east. Tulsi would mop the floor with him. Somehow I don't think his own personal Vietnam (avoiding STD's) will serve him very will in a debate on the merits of our endless wars vs someone who volunteered to serve in those same wars.

Music let me guess your math comment comes from someone who will say they knew all along trump could win... you idiots don't understand that in this age things are fluid. But that Biden as an establishment candidate doesn't stand a chance for the same reason the entire field of GOP establishment candidate failed again an orange clown. Voters doesn't want the establishment status quo. The only difference is with Bernie and Tulsi you actually have a chance to vote for real populist not fake populist.

@chiomob being against the right wing government of Israel doesn't make you a Zionist or anti semitic. There is a difference between the religion and the government of a country.

@helderp631 why throw away the one candidate who has the most name recognition and the most volunteers signed up to support him? That is like firing the star quarterback before you start the superbowl.

@EricG-bv2ui oh he can attack her but Tulsi will still mop the floor with him and anyone who is in the military will definitely like her much better than a draft Dodger.

@helderp631 actually Bernie and Tulsi have most of the same policies. I would rather see 4 years of Bernie with Tulsi as the VP followed by 8 years of Tulsi as president. 12 years of solid progressives sounds better to me. But you do you boo.

@helderp631 I have read a lot about both candidates. On healthcare you are wrong both Tulsi and Bernie want the current Medicare system expanded to cover all Americans. Tulsi has pointed out that our current Medicare system allows for supplemental coverage Bernie is not going to change that. Tulsi was very clear in her CNN town hall that insurance is not allowed to provide any coverage for anything covered in Medicare. That is the same policy. You need to read Tulsi Gabbard's off ff act that she introduced to the house in 2017 she has definitely proposed the most aggressive climate change legislation in that bill. It has a target of 80% reduction in 10 years across the board in all sectors of the economy transportation and energy. Bernie has not proposed anything that aggressive and Bernie has agreed with the green new deal. But the GND is only a general outline not a bill. On economics there is a difference Bernie is more of a supporter of MMT Tulsi is not a fan of MMT. Both believe income inequality is a major problem and both support more taxes on the wealthy elite. But feel free to vote for either one you feel better fits your views. For once we have a choice between some good options not the lesser of evils.

@helderp631 oh as to the jobs guarantee. I have not seen anywhere where Tulsi has been asked about that issue. Honestly I have not seen anywhere that someone has explained how that would work. Bernie has said we will need to employ more people building the Green Energy Economy which is definitely true. If we change out all new car manufacturing to BEV and we change all the energy sector to renewable energy it will definitely create millions of jobs. But I haven't seen any documents explaining what a jobs guarantee looks like. The only comment about how it would be implemented I have seen is that the federal government would provide work at minimum wage to everyone and the private sector would simply have to offer a higher wage then the minimum wage to attract help. If that is the system clearly the jobs guarantee wouldn't be a threat to small businesses or large corporations because skilled labor doesn't work for min wage. But just as clearly the federal government won't be implementing the transition to Renewable Energy on government labor because engineers designing wind farms won't work for min wage. So in short no one is talking about government taking over the means of production. I suspect Bernie Sanders would back the off focial fuel act Tulsi introduced to the house if it was up for a vote in the Senate. I suspect Bernie would be thrilled to see the private sector grow in the process of implementing it.

@chelecovers6893 that doesn't change the fact that Tulsi was on his ticket in California.

@helderp631 Bernie said he would end private insurance as it is today which is true but you are wrong if you think that means an end to supplemental insurance Bernie never said he would end that. My point is you seem to know the reality but choose to say otherwise.

@helderp631 Tulsi Gabbard clearly said the private insurance would not be allowed to cover anything covered by Medicare for All. That is the same thing as Bernie Sanders has said and it does effectively abolish private health insurance because it relegates it to supplemental care. My mother is on Medicare and has Supplemental coverage as well I have a very clear understanding of how that system works. Her health insurance only covers what is not already covered by Medicare. This is exactly what Bernie and Tulsi want for all citizens. There are only 2 camps on healthcare the Medicare for All camp and the corporatist camp who want to keep the system we have only maybe tweak it some more. Well ok there is a 3rd gop camp who wants scam insurance which doesn't cover illness but I don't count them as a real option they couldn't even do that when they controlled everything for the last 2 years so they are all talk and road blocks.

BartJ583 how is volunteering as a medic in a time of war a blemish on her record? Seriously do you think it is a bad thing that she cared about her fellow man enough to risk her life to provide life saving care to her fellow Americans?
1
BartJ583 you seem to have forgotten that Tulsi serves on the house foreign affairs committee. She has more foreign policy experience then Obama did. I don't think Harvard law qualities as foriegn policy experience so try again. I mean people attack Tulsi for the fact that she has traveled to foreign countries and meet with their leaders.

BartJ583 please explain why when we pay twice per capita for healthcare then any other developed nation on earth you don't think the overall cost of healthcare in the USA can be reduced. Every single study on Medicare for All has proven it will save between 2 and 15 trillion dollars over the next decade. We have the most expensive healthcare system in the world ofcourse the average cost of care can be reduced. For starters the government wouldn't be making a profit off health insurance so the the entire profit margins of the health insurance industry would be a reduction in the cost of healthcare in the USA. Next there is the fact that the Medicare pricing schedule is lower costs then the non Medicare billing rates at hospitals in the USA. Third the cost of prescription drugs in the USA are out of control. So ofcourse we can do like every other development nation and lower our per capita healthcare costs all we need to do us look at how they have already solved the problem and apply it to our country.

BartJ583 Medicare does lower the cost of healthcare in the USA today compared to that of people who don't have Medicare so yes it can be lowered today and is infact being lowered in the USA we just need to extend that plan to everyone. As to your argument about someone being a medic being the same as a soldier sorry but you are just wrong there is a moral difference. The blame you are looking to place between WWII and the current wars is a fault of the government which sends in the troops not the soldiers. If your argument was simply that you object to taking human life you might have a moral argument against the troops but if your argument is that the oil wars are unjustified then your argument is against the president and Congress which allow them to happen not the soldiers.
1
BartJ583 we will just have to agree to disagree on the war issue. I don't hold the soldiers responsible for the fact that the government sent them into a war I disagree with. But clearly you do.
1
BartJ583 sorry your feeling are hurt but I still don't see the problem with Tulsi volunteering to put herself in harms way to save lives guess you would rather there where no field medics.

BartJ583 I guess you will have to not care because I done lie

@KyrieChii so true.
