for yet. We knew whenever he said, "This is a serious problem and there are no easy answers. But we've just got to get it done!" he didn't have an answer. "We've got to get this done" became a euphemism among the staff for "I have no effing idea!"

That's exactly what Gillibrand's "We must lift up women's voices" sounds like. All that was missing was adding, "We've just got to get this done!"

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
