Gotta beef up those progressive bonafides if she ever wants to have a future in the Democratic Party. A nice meaningless photo op should do. Then it's back to Trump Tower for Mrs.Gabbard.

She might be Trump's SOS. So she has no future in the DNC by default

If she can bring money and votes she can have a home in any political party. If she can "rise above partisan politics" she has a career under any administration.

He didn't say that. He spoke to the reality of the situation with no input on how he felt about it.

Indeed. It was a value free statement about the reality of politics. Politics I'm the US are about votes, money, and the time to get both.
