I attended an event with Sen. Gillibrand last night.

[brooklynite]

She said she's not making any decisions about 2020 until after the Election. But if she decides to run, she could be a compelling candidate, especially for the Obama-Trump voters and the women who come out to vote Democratic this year.

1. Don't like her, can't stand to listen to her, I'd rather have Al Franken.

[stonecutter357]

2. Al Franken 2020 !

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

3. After what she did to Al Franken the only thing that I would feel "compelled" to do

is enthusiastically oppose her in the primaries.

[brooklynite]

5. Best of luck.....

I have no favorites at this point, but nothing I see says that the average Democratic voter is dwelling on Al Franken.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

6. Come to Minnesota. Gillibrand is loathed here.

She threw a colleague under the bus to advance her own career by capitalizing on the metoo movement.

[brooklynite]

8. How do they feel about Amy Klobuchar

"Today Senator Franken acknowledged that he could no longer serve in the Senate and resigned. As he and I discussed yesterday, this is the right decision."

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

11. He resigned because he'd been ratfucked and felt he could no longer

be effective. Klobuchar never demanded his resignation but merely supported his decision after the fact.

[brooklynite]

15. She never demanded it "publicly"...

She talked to him privately about it.

I suppose if this is your standard, there'll always be Joe Manchin to vote for...

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

16. Oh, please. We can do better than Gillibrand AND Manchin

whom I would not support either but AFIK he’s not running.

[stonecutter357]

4. she's not making any decisions about 2020 . Good lets she keeps it that way !

[democratisphere]

7. We need a dynamic personality for 2020.

KG is not.

[demmiblue]

9. Lol!

[octoberlib]

10. No, thanks.

[libdem4life]

12. I'll pass. Franken would been a perfect presidential candidate. She's dead to me. n/t

[jpljr77]

19. OK, then just vote for Trump in 2020! Jesus Christ, was 2016 really that long ago in your mind?

[libdem4life]

21. What is your problem? No, really. Take it up with the others above me, too, OK? n/t

[stonecutter357]

23. lol fuck trump !

[mtnsnake]

13. If she runs in 2020, the deplorables will be pulling out the flip flops at the GOP convention again

because Kirsten flip flops on more than a few important issues whenever it suits her ambitions, such as guns and immigration. I highly suspect that if she became the candidate in the general election, she just might revert back to her days of anti-immigration and pro-guns when she was in the House representing an area of NYS that wasn't nearly as blue as other areas of the state. She has been far from consistent. Plus, she's been disloyal to a number of important Democrats such as Al Franken and Bill and Hillary Clinton, two of the people who helped her the most during her run for the Senate.

[brush]

14. Nah, it's been curtains for Gillebrand since she torpedoed Franken and Bill Clinton.

[Butterflylady]

17. My feelings exactly!!!!!

[TheCowsCameHome]

18. She would be wasting her time.

There are plenty more good choices within the party.

[ananda]

20. Not compelling to me.

Not after what she did to Al Franken!

[OnDoutside]

22. Hahaha
