I (don’t) Love Kirsten Gillibrand

Filed in National by on January 17, 2019

I don’t love her and could say a lot of bad things about her, but why bother? She isn’t going to be the nominee. And if she does become the nominee (and provided the process was fair and transparent) I’ll have to fall in love with her, so why set up impediments to my future highly hypothetical love? Right?

New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand says she is running for president, joining a growing number of Democrats who are seeking to challenge President Trump in 2020.

Gillbrand announced her decision on CBS’s The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, saying she is filing her exploratory committee for the White House on Tuesday evening.

    If anything good will come out of this it’s exposing her for the phony she is. Had a 100 percent nra rating only 12 years ago. Didn’t like “illegals” I could go on with alll The the “blue dog” crap she liked but like you said she has no shot.

    Hold on. Bernie’s favoritabily rating is better with POC.

    Any criticism of Gilleibrand will draw accusations of misogyny from her supporters and proxies focused on the stronger candidates. And even though she won’t be the nominee, some of that mud will stick to the winner through the general election.

    Favorability is not the same as “pick one.” And his unfavorables are among the highest on the board.

    It’s mostly a function of name recognition. If you’ll notice, Biden is even more popular among African Americans — 70/11 fav/unfav vs. Bernie’s 59/17. Blacks voted for Hillary 89-8. The problem was not enough of them voted.

    The question is who will bring them out to the polls in Obama-like numbers.

    Listening to her I feel like I’m listening to a 13 year old girl lecture. She’s not modern day presidential. I think it’s gonna come down to Klobuchar or that Karmela broad. Warren is too screachy too, sadly.

    You have a say. For instance, you can start “Dudes for that Karmela broad” group on facebook, or something.

    I’d join it.
