I just finished watching her speech. While I am not a "Tulsi fan", I found her speech entirely acceptable as a general statement of her positions now, not what they were 8 or 12 years ago when she was representing uber-left Hawaii. I look forward to hearing more position/policy specifics.
I encourage those FReepers who have knee-jerk reactions and post negative comments based on old data, to consider that some respected, even revered Republicans (Donald Trump , Ronald Reagan, etc.) were ardent Democrats before they became Republicans. Would you reject Trump now in 2024 because he previously supported, contributed to, and voted for Democrats?
On the off chance that Trump picks her as his running mate, I encourage FReepers to watch her speech and form a more informed opinion. It might not change your opinion, but it will be better informed.
I also note that she spoke quite well for an hour without a teleprompter, just some written notes. Our current president can't even speak coherently for 30 seconds even using a teleprompter. ("pause")

She voted for her positions.
Now she only talks because she wants to be elected.
Talk is cheap. But *all* she does is talk.
Has she said she repents from supporting the Communist Bernie?
