Do you want to see Tulsi on the debate stage? The DNC wants to see 65k unique donors for a candidate to qualify to for debates―there is only 1 person who can get her on that debate stage: YOU. If you haven't donated yet, we need your help. Link: https://t.co/VGmmimmYir
I'll buy that for a dollar! Seriously though. The way she dodges some of the quesitons put to her, she definitely has the skill to work the debates. I bet she's extremely hard to pin down.

She's starting pretty much exactly where Ron Paul started in 2006. Wow that Megan is seriously bent.

I thought Ron Paul got a reasonably fair shake for a while & then the MSM blackout & ridicule started later in his campaign when he got some momentum. With Tulsi they don't seem to be willing to take any chances.
Her tactics are a bit more aggressive too, showing a bit of a tendency to want to get a kind of revenge on her demoters.... not sure if this will serve her to well or if it's a good trait for a politician aiming to head the US empire...
For @MeghanMcCain and those clamoring for regime change wars: Sen McCain “The (Iraq) war, with its cost in lives and treasure and security, can’t be judged as anything other than a mistake, a very serious one, and I have to accept my share of the blame for it.”
One of the deficits of Paul was his refusal to show teeth, and his tendency to become visibly flustered when confronted with moralizing smear shit and warmongering. He never attacked the interventionists on a moral level - it was always on a rational and financial level. You have to turn the hypocritical false compassion and show how it masks a result that actually dramatically increases the suffering of those the warmonger claims to care about helping. Tulsi carries herself with a better kind of Zen - a calmness but stern directness but I don't know how well that will resonate with voters. I'm not like most people - I don't understand why people aren't clammering and rushing to her campaign. It's so obvious that she's the one.

Moral arguments are a slippery slope & not his style. You shouldn't even need them but unfortunately that's what resontes with the masses in US, way more than anything else these days. I reckon he understands this but takes the high ground by not going there.
There are some problems with Tulsi. She's defended torture, voted to increase Obama's war spending & capitulated with the "Assad's an evil dictator" thing. She's trying to navigate the corporate media by being a hypocrite which kinda leaves her in no-mans land. She may be the best alternative but she's no Ron Paul. He never compromises his principles. She walks into every interview with talking points which has a kind of Hillary vibe. That's something even retarded Americans can pick up on & they don't like it.

The problem is that you need the platform or you're done. So although it would give me great joy to see her directly call for example the idiots on Morning Joe hypocritical warmongers who are either bafflingly ignorant and oblivious or deliberately malicious and deceptive I don't think that any MSM outlet would have her back after that. And she would be ostracized to the bleachers of the alternative media. Sea with Paul the MSM knew that they could smear him and attack him and that he wouldn't meet them on their own terms and that as a result they could smother him. That's why when Trump appeared and he had similar foreign policy ambitions and was able to fight back in an entertaining way that played well in the media he did so much better. He also knew how to outmaneuver at the primary.

The establishment is unbreakable. Tulsi getting elected wouldn't change anything. Ron Paul might have been able to right the course but I doubt it. A smart president who can cooperate with China & Russia is what's needed. Tulsi's anti-war stance is just one piece of the puzzle & it's not unique in Washington. She just has some qualities like being a veteran, attractive & young that make her stand out. I like that she's consistently anti-regime-change & hope she gets to the debate so more people can hear the sense in that message but Americans are the dumbest, most manipulated population on the planet & it will change nothing.

Pretty sure advocating for al Qaeda & neo-Nazis is worse than meeting a president.
