For the record. I think Tulsi does a *very* good job at using the media to drive a message that is much larger than her natural platform.

But I see a lot my conservative friends say they'd vote for her.

I find that.... Highly doubtful personally.

I'll explain:
Tulsi is an interesting politician. She isn't a party line walker, which is good! But neither are people like Mitt or Sasse and plenty of conservatives really don't like either of them today. And boy they are *way* more to the right of Tulsi.
For example:

-Tulsi is in favor of DC statehood.

-Tulsi was in favor of expanding the ACA (Obamacare)

-She's in favor of restricting Oil and Gas exploration.

-pro net neutrality
- in favor of the Paris Climate accords
Tulsi is pro 2nd amendment but some of the bills she's sponsored in congress or some of the things she's been on record about are certain to bug people.
-She's pro choice, but against any elective abortions in the 3rd trimester fwiw.

-She's pro medicare for all
So given the above, why is she all over Fox these days?

Because she's a strong advocate of breaking up big tech companies for having monopoly power.

She's never voted in either impeachment, and has been fairly against the 2nd impeachment.
And she's more than happy to berate other Democrats for any issue she sees. Which some are fair and some seem... Well it's her choice.

But she's very against "big tech" and right now that's a hot talking point.
But excuse me if I'm highly doubtful that any of my fairly strong conservative friends would actually vote for a candidate that is:

Pro choice
Pro MFA
Cosponsored a bill to ban assault rifle sales and require enhanced background checks.
