Trojan Horse for the old Blue-Dog conservative and moderate Democrats the DNC abandoned & kicked to the curb 1992-2016.  Some went to Ralph Nader's Green Party, some Republican Tea Party, most Independent Libertarian. With losing Blacks and Legal Hispanics, the crack down on voter fraud, deportations, and the wall, Dems realize they no longer have the votes and betrayed their own too soon.  By pretending to be moderate they hope Gabbard can trick them into coming back. Hillary's health has gone to shit, Bernie is an age risk, Biden is old & done, Warren would cost them too many donors, Harris is an Anchor baby, Buttigrieg too extreme, Yang is liked Tokenism, but Dems are the real racist. DNC and DS need a Strong Socialist backup.
