I agree with you about Gabbard; pass, thanks.
I also agree with you about his most effective contribution (pardon the choice of words) to the most important goal of defeating Trump.
I don't know about his claim (which I didn't see) about keeping his tax bill low by blocking the advance of the campaigns of Sanders or Warren. I think that mistakenly dismisses the function of Congress when it comes to changing taxes.
Getting a different president come November and getting a dramatically different Congress, especially the Senate come November are not the same thing.
