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

It's too early.

Also, we don't know what's going to happen with Trump. Too much is up in the air for us to assume he will be the GOP candidate in 2020. Could be Pence, who won't be so obviously offensive to many voters who don't know his vile policy ideas and what a POS he is.

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
