Tulsi Gabbard might be an ideal VP choice. She would certainly round out the military / foreign policy aspect of the ticket. (As quoted below.) The important thing is to do it ASAP, preferably now. As a survivor of the 1972 McGovern campaign, I know what can happen if the VP selection is left to the last minute. Ronald Reagan set a good example in 1976 when he picked Pennsylvania moderate Senator Richard Schweiker prior to the convention, and campaigned jointly with him.
Sanders Must Offer Tulsi Gabbard The VP Slot. Now!
By Moon Of Alabama
March 01, 2016 "Information Clearing House" - "Moon Of Alabama" - Tulsi Gabbard, a U.S. Congress representative from Hawaii, stepped down as a vice chair of the Democrat National Committee to endorse Bernie Sanders. In the video below the fold she explains her reasoning. It is Clinton's militarism in foreign policies that makes her take the other side.
Described as "libertarian-leaning progressive" the woman is smart, pretty and speaks well. She is also a former officer in the U.S. military with combat experience and an interest in foreign policy.
Politically her endorsement is manna from heaven for Sanders.
Sanders should IMMEDIATELY offer her the Vice-President slot. Her task in the campaign is to stand in on all foreign policy issues. Sanders then can continue to focus on inequality in the United States.
Hillary Clinton would have no chance to beat that team. Unlike the neoconned Clinton, a Sanders/Gabbard ticket can attract young voters which will be needed to beat Trump. If Clinton runs against Trump the large and growing "anything but Clinton" crowd would likely let her loose.
Someone tell Sanders that he better act fast to announce her nomination before Clinton collects more states and takes away the buzz that the Sanders campaign urgently needs.
