I'm With Tulsi

Congressman Tulsi Gabbard was on a show today when she was asked about her rival for the Democrat nomination for president.  Gabbard said the following:  “I think one of the things that I am most concerned with is Kamala Harris is not qualified to serve as commander-in-chief.  I can say this from a personal perspective as a soldier. She has no background or experience in foreign policy and she lacks the temperament that is necessary for a commander-in-chief.”

I don't often say this, but I agree completely with Tulsi Gabbard.  America needs a president who has a good understanding of foreign policy and who would make a good commander in chief.  That doesn't mean we need someone who the foreign policy establishment likes.  Rather it means we need someone who has the sort of experience that translates into being able to conduct the sort of negotiations that constitute most foreign policy.  Harris has no such experience; her experience with relations did not involve the foreign sort.  She got her start in politics by being the "girlfriend" of California's then leading Democrat Willie Brown.  Since then, she hasn't had much of any experience in foreign relations.

This story will probably be buried by the mainstream media which won't want to criticize Harris for fear of being branded "racist".  Nevertheless, it remains an important issue for voters.
