Maybe she could shake some of those Democratic core beliefs, maybe she has found out, the Democrat party is not for her. I would not say the Republican party is either at this point. She has been rated as having a 100% rating by NARAL, a big pro-choice organization. I also saw a chart of all of her pertinent positions.
She is a liberal...no doubt on that point. As such, I disagree with her on most issues...some agreement perhaps on the use of our troops abroad.
That said, she is of the "old school" liberal type in which conservatives are her political opponent but not her enemy. She does not view politics as good vs evil and that...in the Dem Left...is apostasy. To the Dem Left ALL Republicans are Nazis, racists, homophobes, old, white and hateful. Tulsi...to her credit, and probably as a result of her military service, understands that such a view is destructive to our Republic.
Its sad that a person who is so clearly a liberal on nearly every issue...is seen as a rightwing Quisling by the radicalized Dem party of today. These people have fallen off the cliff into the valley of nutcake Socialism.
