(orders from Moscow)

Run.

Have Russian hackers siphon off 7% of Bidens vote to her in key states and the Dictator wins those states and walks into an electoral college win. Media comments: " Gabard really drew votes away from Biden and Trump both!"

The Dems she appeals to are mostly the far left, who probably wouldn’t vote for Joe anyhow. I think she might draw more votes from Trump and from Jill Stein than she would from Biden. She was a better independent candidate when it looked like Bernie would get the nomination.

Unless she's selling something that Moscow wants to order.

She's spending for sure-- I see her ads on some news sites.

He had a Tulsi 2020 sticker on his Silverado. I saw that today and had to do a double take

She dropped out of her congressional district reelection because it was unlikely she could even win that primary.

By all measures, she's an unconventional candidate leaving a lot of experts baffled about her agenda

Inquiring minds want to know.

I make no judgement about the candidates character or positions on the issues. But there is no plausible path to her nomination. And she doesn't wield enough clout or support to influence the platform or direction of the party. Ergo .. not about the party or the election.

In fairness .. the most generous explanation is that the candidate legitimately thinks there is a "message" of value .. and there is still some small audience it might reach and influence.

she wants to divide this party like Jill Stein.

all you know is she is a female from Hawaii.

There are so many cults with a few hundred adherents that we don't know much about.

She has no place else to go, she's very likely to lose her seat in the House. In the meantime, she's auditioning for Fox News.

and doesn't care who she works for or what crap she has to spout to get and keep the job. She's in the wrong party.

Remember Jim DeMint from South Carolina? He was one of the poorest people in the Senate. He gave up his Senate seat to work for a Think Tank making $1 million plus to start, he has been there around 6-7 years.

Gabbard could be making a play for speaking gigs, a Think Tank job, a job as a lobbyist. The last two would allow her to make massive money. Of course, she can sign on at Fox for over a million per year minimum.

My guess. She doesn't run third party unless she has guaranteed big money from Moscow. If she doesn't have the Russian money, she seriously damages her financial future with a third party run, imagine Ralph Nader, without already being rich.

...I expect she’ll be dying her hair blonde in preparation for the new job soon...

She wanted a constitutional amendment against gay marriage and didn't apologize in any way until 2012 and right before running for President.

If there is one person that Bernie should have some pull with, it is Tulsi Gabbard. Bernie's Campaign Has Been Pressuring Warren for an Endorsement. Why not put similar pressure on Tulsi to drop out and endorse Bernie?
