Disqualifies her at all. Would you prefer Gillibrand or Harris, both of whom thought Franken should resign?

Sally Yates nt avebury Dec 2017 #35

Not a bad suggestion. JimBeard Dec 2017 #100

Franken & Yates onetexan Dec 2017 #111

Then I hope you work hard for your Democratic candidate to win. I want your voice CTyankee Dec 2017 #8

Fortunately, she won't even come close. TheCowsCameHome Dec 2017 #4

She wont be Egnever Dec 2017 #6

You artfully created a distinction lacking any relevant difference. LanternWaste Dec 2017 #91

What? JimBeard Dec 2017 #101

Ill always vote for the Democratic nominee DesertRat Dec 2017 #9

She won't be...I have seen social media...her chances are gone after Franken. Demsrule86 Dec 2017 #10

A silver lining imo flamingdem Dec 2017 #14

Who do you think would best lead our party in 2020 (know it's early)? CTyankee Dec 2017 #18

I am not sure. I like Joe Kennedy III Demsrule86 Dec 2017 #63

GOOD, that is good news. Franken is an absolute star. And he got where R B Garr Dec 2017 #20

But look at what the pukes tried to do with him and how that awful attempt at CTyankee Dec 2017 #26

Yes customerserviceguy Dec 2017 #85

I'd vote for her. I just wouldn't be very happy about it. (nt) Paladin Dec 2017 #12

I will be writing Al Franken in . stonecutter357 Dec 2017 #15

In CT, that can be done in the General. I think that's great. CTyankee Dec 2017 #23

Hell NO ebbie15644 Dec 2017 #37

I haven't decided who I'll work for/contribute to in the primary. CTyankee Dec 2017 #43

Do you not see the irony of talking about teamwork and then OnDoutside Dec 2017 #103

I thought we were all Democrats here, irony or not. CTyankee Dec 2017 #105

Of course but at this stage there's more chance of Trump being OnDoutside Dec 2017 #106

I think you should take your energy and work for the Democratic candidate you CTyankee Dec 2017 #107

Don't make stuff up. I didn't say that. OnDoutside Dec 2017 #108

Fine. I will support the candidate that emerges as our party's candidate. CTyankee Dec 2017 #109

I'll vote for the democratic candidate, but she'll jrthin Dec 2017 #17

She didn't and hasn't. I said "if." I think Harris is strong and I would happily vote for CTyankee Dec 2017 #19

Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) calls on Sen. Al Franken (D-MN) to leave office oberliner Dec 2017 #24

she won't make it that far Skittles Dec 2017 #27

Can't imagine who the repugs could put up that would be the least bit Motley13 Dec 2017 #30

A list of her contributors: guillaumeb Dec 2017 #32

Good information, thanks! She should be seriously challenged on some of these CTyankee Dec 2017 #45

One wonders if every Senator were to be looked at, guillaumeb Dec 2017 #47

well, it's up to us Dems to fight this...we gotta have some sanity here... CTyankee Dec 2017 #52

People would probably be surprised lapucelle Dec 2017 #83

Yes, some would be surprised. guillaumeb Dec 2017 #88

The surprise concerns those who accepted the contributions, not those who made them. lapucelle Dec 2017 #89

There is nobody terribly interesting or sinister on that list. Sen. Walter Sobchak Dec 2017 #58

Even worse, characterizing it as those firms contributing is dishonest. The page itself says it was stevenleser Dec 2017 #64

I included the link. guillaumeb Dec 2017 #75

I know you did, thats why your mischaracterization is so puzzling. Nt stevenleser Dec 2017 #82

That depends of course on the person reading the list. eom guillaumeb Dec 2017 #74

Nope, we have been through this before. Individuals who happen to work there contributed. stevenleser Dec 2017 #62

We will lose. jalan48 Dec 2017 #33

Exactly...I'll vote for her but the campaign won't be worth following Awsi Dooger Dec 2017 #42

I'm not sure of that. Trump is an increasingly unhinged man and I think it is scaring CTyankee Dec 2017 #48

Good for you. n/t tazkcmo Dec 2017 #34

I will vote for the Democrat. It is the party that speaks to my beliefs n/t Guilded Lilly Dec 2017 #38

Didn't know much abt her before. Thought her just another politician trying to break out from crowd. bobbieinok Dec 2017 #40

I want a woman president... blue cat Dec 2017 #41

which woman would you favor at this point? CTyankee Dec 2017 #51

If she wants to run I think Tammy Duckworth would win. jalan48 Dec 2017 #53

Id fully support either Gillibrand ClarendonDem Dec 2017 #76

Well we cant afford to play chicken with the new never Gillibrand wing Exultant Democracy Dec 2017 #44

Interesting view. Glad you contributed that. It will be an important factor as we consider CTyankee Dec 2017 #49

The "Never Gillibrand Wing"? aka, the I'd rather be pure and have tRump for 8 years wing? SFnomad Dec 2017 #68

Yeah, exactly. Dont expect people to change all a sudden Exultant Democracy Dec 2017 #70

No. Polly Hennessey Dec 2017 #46

At this point, who do you favor? CTyankee Dec 2017 #50

I think at this point the Democratic party should kacekwl Dec 2017 #54

Even if none of this happened Gillibrand would struggle in the primaries Sen. Walter Sobchak Dec 2017 #57

I'm not a fan of her running for President, but silly accusations like these are unacceptable. stevenleser Dec 2017 #90

You will have ample opportunities to make that point Sen. Walter Sobchak Dec 2017 #98

She Won't Be Dalton Mac Dec 2017 #60

I would vote for her too in a general...but not a primary. Demsrule86 Dec 2017 #65

The Peoples's Republic of New Haven! CTyankee Dec 2017 #67

Loyalty is important to me. I'd vote for her if she were the nominee, ecstatic Dec 2017 #66

At this point it's hard to tell, but I think her decision to do what she helped do was CTyankee Dec 2017 #69

Well, it's wrongheaded. Denzil_DC Dec 2017 #71

This is a political strategy that is all too common. CTyankee Dec 2017 #72

Agreed. Denzil_DC Dec 2017 #73

I do not like her... chillfactor Dec 2017 #77

Who are you looking at right now? CTyankee Dec 2017 #81

i will vote for the Dem candidate as long as they are not a crazy ass populist... samnsara Dec 2017 #79

I don't know how I feel about her prospective candidacy. DemocratSinceBirth Dec 2017 #80

Yes, we'll be stuck with her customerserviceguy Dec 2017 #84

I have not gotten caught up in any primary wars here on DU NewJeffCT Dec 2017 #86

I will never support or vote for her for anything! ananda Dec 2017 #87

So if she were the nominee vs Trump in 20 Trumpocalypse Dec 2017 #95

2020 DU Primary wars and nobody has even announced they are running snooper2 Dec 2017 #92

I voted for Bernie in the IL primary, Hillary in the GE. apnu Dec 2017 #93

Of course. We don't know now who will make it to the "finals" but Gillibrand is far CTyankee Dec 2017 #94

I don't think she's that bad. apnu Dec 2017 #97

Gillibrand will not be our candidate in 2020, will not be popular outside of Wall street. FreeStateDemocrat Dec 2017 #96

I will too. Willie Pep Dec 2017 #99

No way SHRED Dec 2017 #102

And judgement which is poor. I would also discount anyone who piled in early against OnDoutside Dec 2017 #104

Candidate,gender, race, history doesn't matter... Baconator Dec 2017 #110

let me be blunt DonCoquixote Dec 2017 #112

I will vote for our nominee DFW Dec 2017 #113

gilliband would have ZERO problem calling trump an "asshole" directly to his face in any debate beachbum bob Dec 2017 #114

Gillibrand caved to a right wing hit job on Franken. I don't think she is tough enough to be Demsrule86 Dec 2017 #115

She won't be the nominee after her back stabbing efforts against the best Senator Al Franken Rene Dec 2017 #116
