Says Tom Woods:

Imagine you’re Tulsi Gabbard, and the Democratic Party wants to slit your throat.

You refer — provocatively — to the “Bush-Clinton-Trump” foreign policy, thereby identifying the empire as a bipartisan phenomenon.

You’ve attacked Hillary Clinton as personifying the “rot” within the Democratic Party.

The mass media despises you, and constantly puts you in a bad light.

You have no major allies.

Therefore:

You need to look into that camera and appeal directly to people who see the world the way you do.

You need to differentiate yourself sharply from everyone else on that stage.

And here’s what she said:

My personal commitment to you, to all of my fellow Americans, is to treat you with respect and compassion, something that we in Hawaii called aloha. Every single person deserves to be treated with respect, regardless of race, religion, or gender, or even your politics. Inclusion, unity, respect, aloha, these will be the operating principles for my administration.

Now, Dr. Martin Luther King visited Hawaii first back in 1959, where he expressed his appreciation for what we call the aloha spirit. He said we look to you for inspiration as a bold example for what you have already succeeded in the areas of racial harmony and racial justice, where we are still struggling to achieve in other sections of the country. He later went on to say, as I looked out at the various faces and various colors mingled together like the waters of the sea, I see only one face, the face of the future.

Working side by side, let’s defeat the divisiveness of Donald Trump, come together and usher in a 21st century of racial harmony, of racial justice, peace, inclusion, and true equality, working side by side. Let’s make Dr. King’s dream our reality.

So she gives a forgettable, boilerplate speech full of platitudes that could have been uttered by anyone.

Missed opportunity.

Lew Rockwell and I did our best debate analysis of the season this week, so enjoy this guilty pleasure:
