Gillibrand to visit 'The Late Show' amid reported 2020 plans

[brooklynite]

The Hill:

Another potential 2020 White House contender is headed to late-night TV — Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) will appear on “The Late Show” with Stephen Colbert on Tuesday.

Filmmaker M. Night Shyamalan is the other guest booked for the show, the network announced Monday.

Gillibrand, 52, is expected to “take steps toward launching a presidential campaign in the coming days by forming an exploratory committee,” the Associated Press reported on Monday.

Colbert’s late-night show has served as a parade of sorts for possible 2020 candidates.

1. She can run. And keep on running....

This is not her time. For me there will never be a time. But this one is not her time.

2. Wouldn't is be a kick if he had Al on as well? /nt

[Trumpocalypse]

4. Why hasn't he been on TV?

He hasn't done any of the talk shows or cable news shows.

3. She is going to connect with people.

She speaks well to the issues we care about.

5. Yawn. Waiting for that "post removed" person to respond. n/t

6. Maybe someone can ask her whether it would be good to still have Al Franken on Judiciary

To ask some questions during the attorney general confirmation hearing. Like the ones that forced Sessions to recuse himself from the Mueller probe.

7. Don't waste your time

she can run all she wants but she will never be president

[Vogon_Glory]

8. Whatever

Whatever. Unless she somehow edges out the other contenders as our party’s candidate for President in the Democratic Party primaries, I don’t plan to support her.

9. Darn!

I'll be busy that night, doing something.

13. That root canal I've been putting off

10. This will be interesting to me...

I am on the opposite coast so my impression of how she lands with the public is based on the likes of Democratic Underground and Daily Kos.

11. She is ok, not on the same level with Senator Warren and Senator Harris as far as

electoral excitement goes. I really like her hardass approach to dealing with sexual harassment and violence in the military, government, business, academia, school.

14. I don't know much about her...

so I'm looking forward to seeing what she has to say and how she is received. I have generally found Colbert to be a very good interviewer not attacking or fawning and the show is taped in NYC.

15. Watch the show by all means.

I actually think that Cobert talks a little too much and sometimes cut off answers.

12. I hope Harris runs
