Lightweight Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, a total flunky for Chuck Schumer and someone who would come to my office “begging” for campaign contributions not so long ago (and would do anything for them), is now in the ring fighting against Trump. Very disloyal to Bill & Crooked-USED

Liked the way she tied herself to the women's marches. Did she march? (honest question)

a differing opinion among Democrats, "they" insert a pry bar!

When you are a minority party in morals and values, splitting Democrats is the way to stay in power.

One way or another. Either by pushing him out of office or winning in 2020.

The Cretin just insinuated she would prostitute herself.
This vile, goddamn ignorant oaf misogynistic pile of puttrid flesh MUST be removed from office.
He is mentally ill, yes, but even before his illness set in, he was foul.
GET HIM OUT.
The damage he has done and will do is closing in on irreparable.

They all walked the talk and there's nothing exceptional about the fact that Gillibrand did it. But until we take over the House and the Senate , Trump will remain in office. Anything else is just wishful thinking.

Subsequent mis-hearings and garblings are just the usual language mangling that goes on every day; that doesn't make them right. "He talks the talk. But does he walk the walk?" makes sense. nothing else does.

"When nothing seems to help, I go and look at a stonecutter hammering away at his rock perhaps a hundred times without as much as a crack showing in it. Yet at the hundred and first blow it will split in two, and I know it was not that blow that did it, but all that had gone before. "

But this is not going to impact Trump's base at all. Do you really think any of those people who have already overlooked so much crassness from him, are suddenly now going to turn on him? It ain't happening.

And her retort falls back on the "You won't silence me" theme, which again just helps paint her as a "bitter feminist" to Trump's base. "You won't silence me" is still a defensive play.

She should be attacking his tax plan and hammering on the Russia collusion.

That means 65% of Americans aren't Deplorables. Our goal is to get every one of them on our side. The 35% are lost. Let the lost take care of the lost.
