No, it was a rant from a deranged woman.
Don’t kid yourself a 3rd party Gabbard run would hurt Trump. That said, it is not why the witch attacked her She attacked her because HRC is insane.
I think it is a manifestation of TDS where she thinks she’s still relevant. The DNC will see the light and draft her as the nominee in a deadlocked convention. She doesn’t want to run against both Trump and a”moderate” democrat.
