Foreign dictators don't take meetings with house members unless there is something to gain.

Why are we people pretending that Tulsi was on a grand diplomatic mission when she was a powerless house member with no influence on Syrian policy?

The only reason Assad would take a meeting from someone that could offer him nothing is if he felt that they were a sympathetic ear. No dictator is going to risk being lambasted by a house member after rolling out the red carpet.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden

and happy Tulsi went after her.

Of course, a month from now nothing much in the polls will have changed because few are paying attention and until we narrow the field we can't get to details with anyone.

If anything, they should be happy that it inspired his resurgence tonight. His campaign was on autopilot until Kamala showed him that candidates would be out for blood. He's my #2 (and I don't really want to change my candidate on here, I'd rather just let is stay until the end) , but "VP Joe the Elder Statesman" had nothing on "VP Joe from the 2012 VP debate" and it looks like we are finally getting that VP back.
