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."

Gabbard can see she is being intentionally screwed by her own party.
I wouldn’t blame her if she ran independent.
Wouldn’t hurt President Trump, but would certainly take a point or 2 off whoever would be the DemonRAT Nominee.....there are still a few decent Dems out there, I suspect!
Go Tulsi!!!!!
