Consistently anti-war, other than Syria. I think the inexperienced politician thing is also a big deal. She's played the flip flopping properly in that we're all talking about her, but yet she's still a very inexperienced politician that never really did anything impactful for her constituents, so much so that the majority seems to very much dislike her. That matters.

 

Agree with your second point entirely, but in the case of Tulsi Gabbard, there's a tremendous amount of evidence of her actually being very pro-war. Has she had a true change of heart, or is it uh, money? I guess none of us will really know. The thing about Tulsi though is she completely disappears, which I think will impact her rise. She doesn't have the Trump, Lake energy. She kind of pops up, says something that causes some minor waves, and then falls off the map for months. That's not gonna cut it.

spot on.  The other thing that struck a chord is if you blur some of the details the above analysis describes Liz Cheney. Very similar calculus. occasionally popping headlines, losing at home, inexperienced politician. Etc.  

 

RE: the money motive, other than the obvious comp from conservative outlets for appearing as the contentious objector, are there other sponsors?

I LOVE THE RESPONSES CALLING HER A “CHRISTOFASCIST” WHEN SHE’S ACTUALLY A HINDU:
