Gillibrand is going to try to make her name conflating his Anita Hill issues with "Me-Too" hlthe2b Jun 2019 #2

What could get really interesting on that subject is if Funtatlaguy Jun 2019 #3

I totally agree... However, there will be big motivation to stand out... hlthe2b Jun 2019 #4

Wouldn't surprise me, she strikes me as a scorched earth opportunist anyway. (n/t) thesquanderer Jun 2019 #24

Which almost certainly means with her 2 left feet approach, she will go there. lark Jun 2019 #18

Yes. Especially since Sanders, Harris, and Bennet will be on the stage with her. Shrek Jun 2019 #28

She better watch it DownriverDem Jun 2019 #15

She can try all she wants but the polls have her down near 0% onetexan Jun 2019 #32

And that's where she will stay. IluvPitties Jun 2019 #41

I only have one fear about Joe; looking "old". oldsoftie Jun 2019 #5

I think he's likely to be very well rested and "pumped"... so while this might happen on trail hlthe2b Jun 2019 #6

Good point oldsoftie Jun 2019 #7

Yep, you are correct. Imagine drinking to all of them. Funtatlaguy Jun 2019 #11

And? Demsrule86 Jun 2019 #21

I just wondered...not taking it as a criticism... he connects. I have seen him work a crowd like no Demsrule86 Jun 2019 #26

I'm a huge fan of his. Even moreso as a person than a politician. Funtatlaguy Jun 2019 #29

Me too. Demsrule86 Jun 2019 #30

Obama was big on saying, "Look...". Drunken Irishman Jun 2019 #42

I don't know... the Iowa speech was a big deal for him too, and if that was him at/near his best... thesquanderer Jun 2019 #33

if that happens it's best it happens early on so people can start looking to others JI7 Jun 2019 #14

Despite some common thinking by some that Bernie is just Funtatlaguy Jun 2019 #25

I don't see ithat way...he take all things personally...always the victim in my opinion. But then I Demsrule86 Jun 2019 #31

He certainly doesn't like be corrected or fact checked. (nt) ehrnst Jun 2019 #56

Bring it! That plays perfectly into Bernie's hands & will only distinguish his forward-lookin agenda InAbLuEsTaTe Jun 2019 #40

How does it "play into Bernie's hands?" ehrnst Jun 2019 #55
