    I met Nikki personally at a Clemson football game in the presidential Suite, so I am just going to not say anything more about this comment, she is really nice so is her husband and children.

    When the waves are calm and the drinks are flowing - everyone is your friend :)

    What does this have to do with the dirty deeds done by Nikki as the mouthpiece for the establishment neocons ?

    If you don't stand for something - you will fall for anything or so goes the tune. What does Nikki stand for ?

    I think Nikki might well be a fine person - but she is an opportunist who sold he soul for rock and roll ... It is not easy to run against a herd of stampeding bulls .. . I get it.

    But lets not kid ourselves here - Tulsi is that one who is running against the herd. Nikki is a wide eyed girl who got caught up with the wrong crowd .. or the right crowd .. depending on one's perspective.

    Well, Trump isn't really a politician and all the other cannot be believed because their lips moved.

    Nikki is the female version of Mitt Romney and yes, Tulsi is running against the insane left wing herd.

    Don't care for Mitt much either but - don't really see a close connection. Either way - as you noted - Tulsi is running against the herd .. and not just the Dem Establishment - The Establishment in General which includes both left and right.

    The insane left is irrelevant to this conversation. Do you wish a list of Establishment agenda items that Tulsi is against which Red Establishment supports ?

    Political opportunists. She already has a Presidential SuperPac created 4 years before the 2024 election and long before you would create one so is betting on replacing Trump.

    By their actions and their words, they are at opposite ends of the political spectrum.

    Nikki is a war monger as Tulsi is the opposite.

    Thomas Massie is the best in Congress right now. My two cents.

    A true statesman only comes around about once every century. Ron Paul certainly was/is the Thomas Jefferson of our time. So much of what dominates discussion today started with him. Our failed foreign policy. Our failed monetary policy. Civil liberties. Out of control government. And so much more. I'm glad that he remains active over at the Liberty Report and the Ron Paul Institute for Peace and Prosperity.

    John B Anderson. Died 2 years ago. Ran against Reagan and Carter in 1980.
    His platform included many forward thinking plans including a tax on fuel that would pay for infrastructure including high speed rail. Imagine NY to Chicago in two hours , you don't get past airport security in that time.
    His later work included ranked voting which is the surest way for us to get the government we deserve, no more voting against a candidate out of fear that voting who you really want would open the door for who you really don't want to win
