Gillibrand is "pumping millions into ads"

[question everything]

28. She dropped, but I wanted to reply to you

I appreciate your points. I have not followed her Senate career because, yes, I was soured by the Franken affair.

But I agree that she was not the only one. Schumer is not running for president, but all the other senators who are presidential candidates, except Klobuchar quickly joined the firing squad. And, as I have stated several times on these pages, unless one of them is the nominee I would never consider any of them. In the famous New Yorker story, it was mentioned that several senators now regret calling for his resignation, none of the presidential candidates have.

What I meant by "women issue" was that she appeared to be a single issue candidate. Many here were saddened by the departure of Inslee but he, too, was a one issue candidate. Cannot work, certainly not in a crowded field.

Last, I was already prejudiced against her and the way she declared her candidacy, on Colbert, him holding her hand with loving eyes, she coyly declaring... was so unprofessional, certainly unpresidential. And, a 50 year old "young mom?" Turned me off. But if she is a good senator I hope that she can make major contributions.
