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

"In 2015, the South Pacific island state of 200,000 residents was ranked the world's most financially secretive nation in a list of tax havens compiled by the Tax Justice Network.

Samoa is also on the EU's blacklist of global tax havens."

Which is one more than she will get from Hawaii, even if she stays in the race through the Hawaii primary.

Thanks to Mike for limiting Tulsi's delegate count to 1 person.

Incidentally, American Samoa is where Tulsi was born.
