Zuesse points out that Tulsi's actual votes in Congress were strictly in line with D and R orthodoxy on Russia. Every vote, and every public statement until this year's candidacy, was firmly against Russia and for the blockades and sanctions.
I've given up waiting for Tulsi to DO something meaningful. The only possible conclusion is that Tulsi is a milder version of the Trump Pied Piper. She's an Agent Provocateur. Putting it another way, she's a quality control magnet. Her job is to draw off and identify unorthodox voters so they can be explicitly discarded.
