> CBS Interviewer: Earlier this month you told our political reporter
> Caitlin Huey-Burns[1] that you would support the Democratic nominee if 
> you end up not winning the primary. Is there any policy a Democratic 
> nominee could hold that would persuade you not to elect them in the 
> general election?
> 
> Tulsi Gabbard: No. I am, as are all of the other candidates that I'm
> aware of running for president, committed to defeating Donald Trump in 
> 2020. I look forward and hope to be able to earn that nomination myself 
> but if not then I'll join with others in making sure that that happens.
