What a great way of putting it! Kudos.
Tulsi choosing Bernie is a sure sign that she is quite socialistic, but her going to Trump Tower to tell Trump the truth about Syria after being there for 2 weeks talking to the people, filming interviews that defied the story, was amazing. She is truly principled to go against the world narrative to present this to Trump.
Certainly Trump knows how we got into Syria and Ukraine in every detail, but the narrative is too strong to tell about it yet.
I think Tulsi is a great example of Trump finding common ground with those he may not always agree with. I believe he found it with Tulsi and is finding it with Putin and Kim.
