JOHN CHUCKMAN COMMENT: THE UNSINKABLE TULSI GABBARD - THE MOST PROMISING AMERICAN PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE IN MANY YEARS - SHE'LL ALMOST CERTAINLY FAIL BUT SHE'LL GO DOWN FIGHTING

“Propagandists Freak Out Over Gabbard’s Destruction of Harris

“Establishment narrative managers distracted attention from a notable antiwar contender, seizing instead the chance to marshal an old smear against her”



Tulsi is the most original and interesting candidate to come along in many years.

She's authentic, something not true of most of that pack.

And not true of most of the House and Senate with their oh-so-predictable statements on most matters and all those crinkly-faced servants of plutocracy.

She has courage, too, a rare quality in Washington where, indeed, cowards often do well. Witness Trump, Biden, Clinton, Bush, Johnson, et al.

If there's ever going to be any change in a that huge country which has become a force for darkness and fear in much of the world, it's going to come from the likes of Tulsi.

But I'm not holding my breath. It's clear from many signals, the establishment very much dislikes her.

So, the odds are, they'll make sure she doesn't win.

Still, I admire a valiant try.

Just as I admire honesty, something almost unheard of in Washington, but she has it, in spades.
