Democrats are growing increasingly suspicious of Rep. Tulsi Gabbard's (D-Hawaii) political intentions, fearing that she may be considering a third-party bid for the White House in 2020 if she doesn't win the Democratic presidential nomination.
Gabbard's announcement last week that she would not seek reelection to her House seat and would instead focus solely on her presidential bid only served to hasten those concerns.
Some party strategists and operatives fear that a third-party bid by the Hawaii congresswoman could fracture parts of the electorate and stir chaos in the 2020 contest, ultimately setting the stage for President Trump's reelection.
The criticisms are particularly pointed from people in former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's orbit.
"She has absolutely zero path to becoming the Democratic nominee, so what is she doing?" said Adam Parkhomenko, a Democratic strategist and former aide to Clinton, the party's 2016 presidential nominee. "To say that she's going to take her campaign all the way to the convention just suggests that she's trying to create chaos."

This is a setup. Gabbard is being GROOMED to either be the candidate OR run 3rd party. The hope is that she will siphon votes from Trump instead of Hillary. Thats why Hillary elevated her a few weeks ago by calling her a russian asset. This is the democrats plan. They can’t beat Trump straight up.
Tulsi is a willing participant in the Deep State plan to get Hillary elected - not that it will work. That plan, in theory, is to have Tulsi run 3rd party in order to syphon moderate votes from Trump. It should be pretty obvious that the whole “Tulsi is a Russian agent” accusation from Hillary and Gabbard’s “It’s just you and me Hillary, let’s have at it” retort was preplanned. It was all too scripted. It’s amazing how many people are falling for Tulsi’s act. She’s the deepest of the deep state. A full blown actress. Don’t fall for the “Tulsi is a victim narrative”. She’s not, never has been and never will be on our side. She’s as conniving as it gets.
Agreed. Beat me to it!
This is exactly, almost word for word, what the Republican establishment was saying about Trump for most of the 2016 campaign.
How many times did we hear how Trump needed to step aside in order that we not get Hillary as president?
Thank you!! IT seems like so many on FreeRepublic are cheering her on. Trump can beat her easily. Just make the obvious case that Hillary (or Moochele) are working together.
Tulsi running as an Indy would be poetic justice...and insure Trump a bigger sweep....
I think that Gyorgy Schwartz runs that political cult.
Maybe Gabbard/Bloomberg?
Think you're missing a zero. Just the lot on lakes around here cost $600k and I'm not even in an expensive place.
