You prefer Tulsi? She prefers $15 minimum wage, supports abortion thru the first 20 weeks of pregnancy, free 4 year college, prison/criminal justice reform and the list goes on and on. I agree with her on most foreign policy issues but that is where it stops.

I am of the same mind, which is why I wrote “on that score”. I thought she would make a great National Security Advisor or even SecState, but because of all the other issues, including those you listed, not my choice for president.

In her interview with Jordan Peterson, she not only made a great showing on FP, but exposed how congress critters on both sides spend more time fundraising than doing their jobs (long, but worth a listen as you do household tasks):

So long as our elected representatives are more focused on fundraising and schmoozing with big donors and lobbyists than actually doing their jobs, we’ll never “drain the swamp” and “fight Deep State”. We need to fix this for the sake of our Republic, or we won’t keep it. The sort of campaign finance reform we really need is never discussed. Gee, I wonder why?

I would love for Gabbard to get more attention in the press and “the national discourse” when it comes to those two issues: FP and fundraising. She is one of the few who have the wisdom and courage to make a good case on both fronts.

If only she were right when it came to all the other issues, she would be perfect. Sadly, she takes the positions you listed. Until we enact electoral and campaign finance reform, though, all is lost. First things first.
