Do you think after the emails, locked doors, VP pick, etc in the last 48 hours that will be acceptable to the Bernie people in the party?

Put Tulsi in the seat till the term is up in Jan, and help win the White House.

The D party is far from united going into the convention. This would do a lot to bring unity! It's the smart play.
