show her values more. Her "powerpoints" are shallow. Too many catch-phrases. Sometimes it feels as if she is hiding something. After seeing her in front of cameras for several months, she seems to have no "voice": that quality in a communicator in which the audience gets a sense of who the speaker is. There seems to be no internal flow, from the inside to the outside. I'm not sure how it could be described otherwise. You know something about Booker, about Buttigieg, Harris, etc. They branded themselves with a consistent approach to politics and tie that approach to who they are. The "own it." Tulsi doesn't seem to own her brand.

Here is the link to an article about Tulsi, her upbringing, and her adherence to same. If her affect seems false to you, it's because she is.

At the end of the thread, post 16 I think, is my post with a collection of sources on Tulsi.

disingenuous.

Having reviewed her background thoroughly, it is not hard to understand what she is doing and it is disconcerting as hell that she is effective in the tactics--at least with some.
