Does Tulsi Gabbard want to win the primaries?

Among Democrats, 93% blame Trump/Republicans for the shutdown. 5% blame Democrats.
Source: https://poll.qu.edu/national/release-detail?ReleaseID=2592
Yesterday Gabbard blamed both sides while talking to Jake Tapper.

While I haven't seen no polling on Assad, I think it's safe to assume that Democrats oppose Pro-Russia dictators who gas children. Yet Tulsi Gabbard expressed no regrets yesterday for loving him.

I would like to know whether you think Tulsi Gabbard wants to become the Democratic nominee, or is she trying to achieve something else?

1. Gabbard is doing Putin's bidding, via her cult leader.

I hope that the scrutiny causes her to lose her House seat.

3. I no more think she will win the primaries nor thinks she will win than I did Jill Stein...

Perhaps her motivations in running somewhat echo those of Stein's, though whether less than benign--which we now have reason to believe re: Stein-- remains to be seen.

5. I have a feeling that she is there to hurt the Democratic Party

And I wouldn’t be surprised if she is working for someone.

9. This! She's the 2020 divisive element, whatever discord she can cause.

She actually said on the Tapper interview that blame for the shut down is on both sides.

The use of that "both sides" phrase is a huge tip off that she's not working for us.

6. Probably a publicity stunt to increase her name recognition. Banking that

for a future run for a bigger job, e.g., U.S. senator.

7. She wants to be Bernie's VP pick

in the unlikely event Bernie gets the nomination.

8. Based on journalistic research in her home state, she's as much a Dem as Trump is a Republican...

She's a wolf in sheep's clothing -- a more attractively-packaged disruptor.
