Now, if we can get Al Franken to run against her for the NY Senate seat...

Whole platform? Another example of the KISS principle, of either A or Z, topics simplified for a like-minded audience.

I'm not doubting that's what you understood. I didn't watch so can't disagree, but I have to think given millions probably did watch that some among them might have come away with different perspectives, some might have even heard more than just a single message from her. One of the best things about a free, for-profit press is being able to read an array of perspectives. One of the best things about forums like this is reading posters who have different perspectives, especially posts from those who keep open minds and try not to reduce existence to only A or Z..

On the plus side, she no longer has to fret about her white privelige giving her advantages as a candydate.

The big question is who will Gillibrand's 0-percent voters support now?

Waiting for Kamala Harris, Robert Francis O'Rourke, Andrew Yang, Marianne Williamson, Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren to drop out now so they can anoint Booty Judge.

And it looks like Tulsi Gabbard is getting Bernied by the DNC.

Donny got another knot in his diapers with Gillibrand dropping out.
Get ready for more histrionics over the next few weeks!!!

Obama has said she has no interest in running for office
Even if it becomes clear that none of the present candidates has a chance to beat Trump? Doesn't she care about the country that made her First Lady?
This is all coming down to who are the Democrats going to pick to lose to Trump in 2020.

Gillibrand is for the Green New Deal that warns of rising sea levels that will put all our coastal cities underwater in 12 years. Funny how Obama just bought a $15 beachfront house on Martha's Vineyard.
She ( Michelle Obama ) probably cares a great more ( about the U.S. ) than yourself
Pffft! If she cared anything she would have spoken up about her husband doubling the national debt.
and certainly she out contributed you, in every way, including paying more in taxes.
A little presumptuous of you to say that without having any clue how much I've paid in taxes. And she has used way more taxpayer money than she ever contributed.
So at the end of Trump's term you are expecting First Lady Melania to run for office?
I'm expecting Don Jr. to run after Donald's second term.

Lol, Bart Simpson running for office would be hilarious, now that Homer is almost out of the door.

Well, that was a given, about time.

MCP voters terrified by a strong female candidate, it seems.
Yes, those principles of genocide and slavery worked so well for the US. If you were elite, of course.

Insightful comments.

She wasn’t strong, she was a political opportunist that really everyone knew from the beginning was going nowhere.
What? Smh.....
Chip Star
Like Donny.

Have a good weekend and do try and read a bit of history, if you get the chance.
Take care comrades & have a MAGA free few days.

She was at the forefront of destroying probably the best Senator we have had in Congress in ages...and our ungrateful nation sat on its hands. She was also backwardly at the forefront of destroying the momentum of the Metoo movement in doing so. May she be removed from politics permanently. She is clearly clueless and doesn't really care about America.

Let’s see...20,000-30,000 on average on the lowest end of a rally and Gillibrand about 200....yeah, weak and could never muster up enough support to move on, but we all knew that.
I think liberals seriously need to really brush up on their history.
