if you are suggesting that gillibrand could be the democratic candidate for president.......that's bizarre.

no way she could be the candidate.

Gillibrand is mediocre at best. As hard as it is to pick a Bostonian over a new yorker, by far the best potential candidate is Liz Warren. If she chooses not to run, then Biden is my choice. Even if we have to scrape the bottom of the barrel, Hillary is still better than anyone in the gop. And she is better than gillibrand

up to the male generals and the male Congressmen about the sexual assaults in the military. Does that mean I would vote for her? Of course not, but sexual assault is too important an issue not to support anyone who is willing to fight it. I will always admire her for what she did. I'll give her this. She's got more courage than the majority of politicians on both sides of the isle. I would not vote for her, but that just had to be said.
