Not surprising. It is not a coincidence that Tulsi goes out of her way to attack everyone, but Bernie even though she is ostensibly competing for the same pool of supporters as Bernie. Bernie was slammed for going negative on Hillary such that Trump simply picked up on his lines of attack. This time around, Tulsi is acting as a surrogate, and is happy to go on Fox News to give them talking points that the "left" does not like either Biden, Warren or anyone else, but Bernie.

Democratic presidential candidate Mike Gravel said in an interview that aired Friday on Hill.TV's "Rising" that he thinks that Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-Hawaii) would make the ideal 2020 Democratic ticket.

"In my mind, the ideal group would be either Bernie as president or Tulsi as president and Bernie as vice president," Gravel, who served as a senator and congressman from Alaska, told hosts Krystal Ball and Saagar Enjeti.

Gravel went on to praise Sanders's domestic agenda and Gabbard's military service, adding that Gabbard would be his ideal choice for the top of the ticket.

"I think he's got a great domestic agenda. I thought, back then, he was a little weak on foreign policy. He himself has admitted that he was weak on foreign policy, and he's trying to bring himself up to speed," he said.
If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
