The Gabbard Doctrine

In this episode we listen to an NPR interview from a series called "On The Trail," done with Tulsi Gabbard, a 2020 candidate for President. Take a listen to this one to learn:

• What Gabbard does with her voice repeatedly in order to seem more Presidential
• Why the way she addresses her potential influence with Russia reveals more than what she actually says, and a first hand experience with Russian bots on Twitter.
• How she is using code language to call out to those who serve in the armed forces or who are related to military
• Her past as it relates to climate policy and how a trip back to her childhood reveals surprising insights
• The one mistake she made in her life and how she manages to turn it around into an inspirational narrative
• How NPR interviewers change their questions in order to influence the type of answer that comes back
• Gabbard's catch phrase that she uses repeatedly in order to suggest that she has a particular personality trait
• The hypnosis technique of Pacing Current Experience and how it is being used by politicians to create rapport and suggest familiarity
• What Gabbard thinks of Justin Amash and how he might be similar to her
• Whether Gabbard has considered leaving the Democratic party
• And more!
