**Breaking** Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand enters Democrat's 2020 presidential race with gender pitch [View all] hlthe2b Jan 2019 OP

I couldn't care less what kind of pitch she made sdfernando Jan 2019 #1

I think this will be the case for nearly all of us--certainly for me. She will be rudely awakened. hlthe2b Jan 2019 #2

+1 MontanaMama Jan 2019 #4

Same. demmiblue Jan 2019 #9

If she makes her case better than the others, she has my vote in the primary. Blue_true Jan 2019 #10

I'm with you on this. WeekiWater Jan 2019 #60

What you said dfernando: I couldn't care less what kind of pitch won't have my support either. trueblue2007 Jan 2019 #50

Her conservative history makes me wonder if she's not Hortensis Jan 2019 #3

She is one of the most solid progressives in the senate. NT WeekiWater Jan 2019 #61

Sure, WeekiWater. America's had many progressive conservatives. Hortensis Jan 2019 #120

She has a record to run on... WeekiWater Jan 2019 #121

Having a record to examine is a huge plus with me too. Hortensis Jan 2019 #125

Saw snippets of Sen. Harris questioning Barr today. For me Sen. Gillibrand has an uphill climb Raven123 Jan 2019 #5

Yup... Harris is incredibly impressive. hlthe2b Jan 2019 #6

Harris called on Franken to resign too Trumpocalypse Jan 2019 #69

Al Franken msdogi Jan 2019 #7

So we've knocked out Harris, Sanders, Booker, Brown, Klobuchar... brooklynite Jan 2019 #89

Klobuchar did not actually call on Franken to resign wellst0nev0ter Jan 2019 #95

Wrong - she just didn't say it publicly brooklynite Jan 2019 #96

That's not remotely the same as what Gillibrand did wellst0nev0ter Jan 2019 #103

From what I recall, the Senate Women decided this jointly... brooklynite Jan 2019 #107

They were wrong wellst0nev0ter Jan 2019 #109

But of course, only Gillibrand gets the blame. brooklynite Jan 2019 #110

If that's the consequence of her decision wellst0nev0ter Jan 2019 #114

Everyone seems to forget that the whole thing was coordinated. tammywammy Jan 2019 #116

Did she work for big tobacco? dem4decades Jan 2019 #18

Yup. Phillip Morris TexasBushwhacker Jan 2019 #43

She didn't defend them did she? That would be a big no for me. dem4decades Jan 2019 #44

Yes TexasBushwhacker Jan 2019 #46

So you only can do pro bono work if you defend corporations that kill people? I didn't know that. dem4decades Jan 2019 #48

I will vote for her in the primary if she makes her case. Blue_true Jan 2019 #83
