I agree. Having met w/ her and having observed her policy evolution, I'm comfortable with her core beliefs and moral standing. I actually think in some respects, it's more impressive to observe the journey of someone who was programmed by religious conservatism - to later evolve through internal inquiry and experience - into the progressive champion that Tulsi is today.

I realize many will judge her on her past - but I'm judging her on the platform she is presenting and the positions she is working to implement today, not when she was 21.

There's only one Bernie Sanders, though.

For me - I'm largely a supporter of hers because of her foreign policy prescription - which is a centerpiece issue for me. The fact that her platform mirrors Bernie's in many ways certainly helps to buoy support - but if she didn't have the conviction and nuanced understanding of foreign policy that she has, I likely wouldn't be so high on her. I do also genuinely believe that she has a unique ability to appeal to a broad electorate in a general. In Hawaii she has drawn support all across the political spectrum. That's what you want in a presidential election.
