Guillibrand is REALLY PISSING ME OFF. This is not the GUILLIBRAND HOUR. She is rude !!

[trueblue2007]

I just can't support someone who is not honest. She knows the rules and she is shouting over the others. Her opinions and statements have NOT "turned me on" ..... she just want her voice out there because she is not well known and low in the polls.

This is just my opinion and I hope I'm not seen as Anti-Dem. I love my Dems !!!

[Cha]

1. I'm not watching.. good

to know, trueblue.

[hlthe2b]

2. and there were those who doubted she CHOSE to EXPLOIT the Franken issue.... SO damned obvious

it is all about ME ME ME

[no_hypocrisy]

3. You're sharing my thoughts!

[msongs]

7. did she ever respond to the latest allegation against trump? nt

[Trumpocalypse]

17. Actually she has repeatedly called for Trump to resign

as well as having the most anti-Trump vote record in the Senate.

[trueblue2007]

10. She does act like it's all about ME ME ME. I view her as a selfish person who's only out for herself

[PatSeg]

43. Yep

She is an extremely ambitious politician and it really shows. If she'd just interrupted one time, it might not have bothered me, but she did it over and over again. Not an appealing trait in someone who wants to President of the United States.

[zentrum]

39. THIS

[dalton99a]

4. She thinks it's junior high

So annoying and loathsome

[Tipperary]

5. No u in her name. nt

[TheCowsCameHome]

19. ...But she'll turn on u in a hearbeat.

Ask Al Franken.

[BamaRefugee]

37. BAM!

[Liberal Jesus Freak]

6. We're not liking her at all at our house 😕 n/t

[SCantiGOP]

8. Couldn't agree more

Moderators need to shut her up.

[MFM008]

9. Agree!

Shes sounding frantic.

[trueblue2007]

11. She sounds DESPERATE ! She knows that she is LOW IN THE POLLS & sees this as her only way up

[mtnsnake]

12. Absolutely. She is so embarrassing. I almost puked when she lied about how she got elected to

a red district in NYS when she was in the House. She got elected to a red district in NYS by cozying up to the NRA as a pro-gun candidate, AND she was anti-immigration back then as well. Sickening.

[milestogo]

13. She's too snippy to pull off moral outrage.

She tries, but it doesn't work.

[PatSeg]

44. True

And I have to say, I'm really getting tired of faux moral outrage from politicians.

[peggysue2]

14. The DiBlasio/Booker strategy is not working for Kirsten

She's coming across desperate rather than strong, rude rather than passionate. A good part of this is gender-bias. But it is what it is.

That being said, I'm sure Gillibrand feels she has nothing to lose at this point. She's getting her voice heard, one way or the other.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

53. She made some good points but she was way too

tone deaf on the interrupting. I am tired of yellers. Mayor Pete really stood out. He never yelled and didn't act shaky and frantic. People think it's appealing but it's not to the average person. They want a calm thoughtful person not the Energizer bunny.

[Trumpocalypse]

15. I guess men are only allowed to interrupt

Just as only men are allowed inappropriate behavior toward women especially if they are a white guy TV star.

[dflprincess]

21. It might be bearable if she interrupted to say anything besides

"I, I, I, me, me, me."

Harris just ignored Todd trying to shut her down and (I thought) she came off well.

[Trumpocalypse]

22. I guess only men

are allowed to say I and me.

[dflprincess]

23. Not if they say it as often as Gillibrand does.

We already have a narcissist in the White House, we don't need another one.

[pnwmom]

25. I don't know about this particular debate but research shows that women are perceived

to be interrupting more than they really are, and men less.

And when women are assertive, they are perceived differently than when men are.

[PatSeg]

46. Last night actually

it was de Blasio who did a lot of butting in, but I know what you mean about women being perceived differently than men.

Tonight, I found Gillibrand to be excessively rude, which made it hard to actually listen to what she had to say.

[bigbrother05]

58. De Blasio's comments tended to call out for Dem principles

As noted it was her way of inserting herself in the conversation with no other purpose.

Context will not favor her performance.

[PatSeg]

60. That's true

It looked like "Me, me, me, call on me!!!" I think she went into the debate expecting to be marginalized and was determined not to be ignored. Not a great way to get attention, especially in a presidential race.

[Trumpocalypse]

66. Which is about as often as anyone else

Perception vs reality

[USALiberal]

49. Lol, here we go again. Nt

[Trumpocalypse]

67. Lol

Sad that truth and fairness is so disturbing to some

[RandySF]

16. She's getting tired of men talking over her.

[Drahthaardogs]

18. Maybe she should try waiting her turn.

She is rude.

[trueblue2007]

20. it's all about ME ME ME..... She has been horrible tonight.

[Generic Brad]

24. She's nailing it

Nailing her electability coffin.

[Xipe Totec]

26. Face it; she didn't have a chance. This was her Hail Mary and Mary went off and left the field. nt

[PoliticAverse]

51. Yes, based on her lack of poll numbers she really needed to make a splash and get noticed. n/t

[aaaaaa5a]

27. I hope she is challenged in the next primary.

[Bradshaw3]

31. How about AOC?

[aaaaaa5a]

33. Perfect!

[ValidateThis]

57. AOC would never win

statewide office in New York. Outside the city NY is much more conservative.

Gillibrand owns that senate seat until she decides toleave it. She is popular in NY.

[ValidateThis]

56. Dream on

She’s quite well liked by New Yorkers as a senator and provides excellent constituent service and votes the will of her supporters. She’s going to be a NY senator for many terms and the nastiness towards her here feels super sexist. I’m not supporting her for president but lol at the idea of primarying her. In your dreams.

[leftieNanner]

28. And it's most obvious

When you compare her to Kamala Harris.

[Bradshaw3]

34. Harris has shown passion

Gillibrand, as another poster said, has acted like the annoying kid in class waving their hand, saying "me, me me teacher".

[dflprincess]

38. That's a perfect description of Gillibrand. nt

[Laura PourMeADrink]

54. Hmmm. Saw her doing almost the same thing.

[Irishxs]

29. She would probably not take advice well from staff. Just saying.

[George II]

30. That's pretty much how I see it, too - she's speaking up on EVERY question asked of others...

...it's embarrassing.

[barbtries]

32. totally agree.

this must have been her plan, to dominate the debate. but it's really disrespectful and fuck her because Al Franken anyway.

[democratisphere]

35. This will likely be her final debate.

[IluvPitties]

50. Hopefully.

[ashredux]

36. She never had traction...didn't get any tonight

[rainin]

40. I thought she looked like a self-important high school mean girl.

From what I saw, the rest of the panel (minus the love girl author on the end) did well. We have such great candidates!

[Mars and Minerva]

41. I have never liked her and I find her incredibly annoying. nt

[bornsunny]

42. Get over your hate of KG.

She did nothing wrong and she wasn't rude. OK so she pressured Franken out of the Senate. Like move on already!

[Bradshaw3]

52. Very few of the critics tonight mentioned Franken

They commented on her performance in the debate. She did interrupt repeatedly and was rude.

[Raine]

45. TOTALLY agree

I got so tired of her butting in, she was so annoying.

[blue neen]

47. She was very rude, and I'll be happy to not hear her voice again...

for quite a long time.

[MarvinGardens]

48. I don't think she's any ruder than some others.

Talking past time limits and over the debate moderators, etc. They want to get their point across and are very competetive about it. It's practically the norm in presidential debates.

That being said, she comes across as wonky and not charismatic enough. It's not going to be her.

[bigbrother05]

61. She's as wonky as Paul Ryan, i.e. all an act

Learn some insider phrases and try to sound earnest doesn’t equal credibility.

[gldstwmn]

55. After Al Franken I can't with her.

She also comes across as a bit distant.

[Perseus]

59. Notice that she blinks a lot when she talks

Once she stops talking the blinking stops.

According to studies, people who blink repeatedly when they talk is because they are lying.

In her defense to your comment, they do that because they are not being called, and they need the cameras. Bill de Blasio did that yesterday but he was very effective when he did, Gillibrand was just, Gillibrand.

[TeamPooka]

62. DiBlasio interrupted all night long last night and people said he was forceful and passionate.

[meadowlander]

64. He was rude too.

Shouting over each other for attention makes the whole field look like clowns.

A+ to Kamala Harris - we're not here to watch a food fight.

[TryLogic]

63. I never cared much for Gillibrand. And I still don't.

[RhodeIslandOne]

65. She'll be gone soon enough.

She's wasting money.
