What is Gabbard's end game?

I'm pretty sure she's not going to get the Democratic nomination for president, so what's next for her? A third party run? What will that get her? A spot in the crime syndicate if that thing manages to steal another election? She's not running again for her seat in Hawaii so she'll be out in the political wilderness. I guess she could switch parties, but she'd have to move away from Hawaii. Republicans don't fare well there nationally, nor do third party candidates. TRUMPRAVDA, er, Fox? RT? Tass? It's just plain weird.

They have a history of actively proselytizing and a strongly Conservative Political leaning. Perhaps she will become a TV Evangelist. She knew what she was doing going after Hillary...Her career as a Democrat was over before that. She's solidified her FOX connections now so their viewers will be tuned in to watch her no matter what the venue. She will have to act fast as she ultimately is a nobody who is having their 5 minutes....
