Kirsten Gillibrand Drops Her 2020 Presidential Bid | Talking Points Memo

Right. But it is conceivable that by October they could have the requisite number of polls. It would just prolong the inevitable (and the misery of those of us who are not drawn to either), but it could happen.

Trump’s insincerity is an act, and the marks are in on the gag. Gillibrand tries to act sincere, but utterly failed at it.

Sorry, didn’t recognize that you were talking about October. You are correct that anyone can still qualify for that debate.

I hope he doesn’t reach out to her.

You sure about that? Seems to me like his insincerity is genuine, haven’t caught him saying something that was actually 100% true (not even 50%). Donald Trump will finally take the burden from Baron Munchausen as the worse liar ever.

Right you are and I’ve had to come to grips with the fact that my favored candidate, Warren, got behind the calls to oust Franken, too, as did Harris and Booker, both of whom I like.

But Gillibrand leveled the initial demand for Franken’s resignation. She has been on my personal shitlist ever since.

Another example was the vote as a Rep against the Bailout Bill. The economy looked like it was about to tank and she was willing to take a chance that it would tank due to that reddish district. Bad, but not awful - Pelosi had enough Republican votes to have some D’s slide in reddish districts. Awful was campaigning on that vote like she was standing up to the banks.

If you ask me, Tulsi Gabbard’s always been ā€œone poll short of a debate stageā€.

(If you know what I mean, and I think you do.)

Moronic trumPP wanted the Clintons’ help way back when he was considering getting into politics in NY. He knew they were prodigious fundraisers, he invited them to his third wedding to turn on his charm, as meager as it is, now we know what he really thinks of them. She should be locked up and he should be investigated for pedophilia.

I’m glad she got in. I hadn’t heard of her before.

It’s very reassuring to see so many very bright, very capable Democrats who are prepared to fix what Trump has broken.

Steyer is a billionaire dilettante now dabbling in politics. We’ve been down that road once before except for the billions factor. Basta cosi.

This is good enough news for me to sign in and rejoice. Justice is served, and I’m sure Al Franken agrees with me.
