That’s what I keep telling people — DO NOT VOTE ON LOOKS, STYLE, OR ORATORY. VOTE BASE ON RECORD AND THEIR STANCE ON ISSUES.
Unfortunately, a huge segment of America vote as if this was an American Idol contest....
That is the nature of our media age. It’s how Kennedy beat Nixon. He was better looking on TV ...even though over the radio, most people thought Nixon had better ideas.
Of course: people like Tulsi are attractive faces to horrendously deceptive, harmful, and outright anti-Christian agendas. But I will admit that although I was too young to enlist at the time of 9/11...I don’t think I would have willingly volunteered to join the military the way she did even if I was of age... And to serve in a medical unit at that. So I will at least hand her credit where it’s due.
Unfortunately I could also see how easily this can be used a shtick to discount people simply for never having been in the military.
