As I have pointed out elsewhere, as I recall, she left the DNC to support Bernie Sanders, who is an outright Socialist. Although she shares a number of views with Republicans, she is not a true conservative (and, sadly, neither are many RINO's these days). In my opinion, in some of her views, she is much more in the category of what used to be called "Blue Dog Democrats." She shares a number of views with conservatives, especially on some foreign policy issues, but she is definitely a liberal on key social issues. [politico.com]

On a side note, she is extremely confused on spiritual issues, as her statements here clearly indicate: [tulsigabbard.com]

If she can claim to agree with "the teachings of both the Bhagavad-Gita and the New Testament," then she probably doesn't understand either, but she certainly doesn't understand the New Testament. So, she is apparently as inconsistent (and, perhaps, confused) in her political perspective as she is in her religious perspective. She apparently tries to straddle the fence in both areas. At any rate, I don't see how she will ever get the support of true conservatives once they really see who she is in all of her political views. If Tulsi Gabbard joined the Republican Party, she would simply be just another RINO we would have to deal with.

"Spiritual issues!" Really?
