Her voting record, world view, and connections resemble much more closely a resume, tailor- made to be both barely acceptable to the leaders of the Democratic Party, and a perfect Libertarian plant. The organization Progressive Punch is a searchable database of Congressional voting records, from the perspective of the far left. They gave Bernie Sanders an A, for his lifetime support of progressive causes. Tulsi Gabbard got an F.
The tangled tale of Tulsi Gabbard makes most sense, if you consider the possibility she might really be a carefully cultivated mole, used to leak data to our enemies. It would be clear that she makes for a powerful pivotal point strategically. The far right has often been able to use her voice and power to manipulate the far left. Stirred up radicals often end up signing off on very bad ideas. Anytime they need their opposites to go along with some plot they’re cooking up, they give the job to Tulsi. Her views are often much more in line with the conservative end of our spectrum, as exemplified by her trip to Syria recently and her unending support of Assad.
Take the DNC mole. President Obama admitted that he had no intelligence on how Wikileaks got ahold of the Podesta emails whose release caused the supporters of Bernie Sanders to riot in the streets of Philadelphia. But a man named Chris Murray, a former British ambassador, had claimed that days earlier, a high ranking DNC member, said to be “disgusted” by the supposed favoring of Hillary Clinton by the DNC, had actually been the one to leak those emails, to him. At this time, Tulsi Gabbard held the position of Deputy DNC Chairman. She resigned in a huff.

Her political record viewed as a whole gives one the eerie impression that it was tailor-made to be borderline acceptable to the Democratic hierarchy, while actually placing her much more closely in line with the Koch brothers brand of libertarianism, an experiment that failed back in the 1980’s, but whose adherents have never really abandoned. Googling “tulsi gabbard libertarian” will lead you to an entire galaxy of Libertarian newspapers, each singing her praises more fervently then the last.
BeingLibertarian.com eagerly lists us off all the reasons why Gabbard 2020 is a shoo-in, with a headline saying “Democrat Tulsi Gabbard Will Likely Be Next President.
swipes at what they refer to as "centrist Democrats", just before the midterm elections
How convenient to ignore those centrists Democrats that gave Medicare, Medicaid, pushed through the Civil Rights Act, the Voting Rights Act, and SC court justices like Ruth Bader Ginsberg, the Iran Nuclear treaty, Paris Accords on Global Warming, Lilly Ledbeder Act, etc. etc. etc.
Damn those centrist Democrats..........
The OP is just a typical reference to The Hill article which does more than their share to go out of their way to create controversy between Democrats.
The article itself is vaugely worded, "Is reportedly that she is seriously considering......"
I doubt she will run, but if she did, she wouldn't even make it to Super Tuesday
As you said, she doesn't stand a chance
