It would especially hurt her with mainstream Dems because Hillary's claim was that Russia was grooming Tulsi for a third party run, so doing that would play right into the claims about her.
and there's pretty much no fucking way in hell a 3rd party candidate is going to win the presidential election anyway, so......I kinda doubt she'll do a third party run. If she does, I think it will have a John Anderson effect and steal more Trump voters than Dem voters. Dems broadly hate her aside from the minority of Jimmy Dores of the world, and if Biden loses to Warren in the primary, then she won't even be distinguished on economic policy. All she'll have is an anti-war plank and an underdog image, which are two of Trump's major selling points.
the problem i instantly see with this story is the possibility that none of it would have even made the news at all if she had gone ahead and actually accepted the judge's offer...
I just found the title of the article amusing. It makes it sound like the judge offered to rape the person in question.
