Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY)

[nkpolitics1212]

A former Moderate Democratic US House member turned current liberal Democratic United States Senator has voted against almost all of Trump's cabinet appointees. If Gillibrand (D-NY) seeks the 2020 Democratic Presidential nomination and wins, how would she do in the electoral college vote if she chooses one of the Castro twins as her VP runningmate?

1. I've had my political sites on her for a while

While it's to soon to make EC predictions, I think she's going to be a contender. Much as I like EW, she would be a hard sell.

2. Forget 2020. We need to focus on 2018.

We need to hope there will still be elections in a little over 21 months and that a national voter purge and suppression effort doesn't make them anything but show elections.

3. 2018 the US Senate Races are an uphill battle,

We need to make sure red state Democratic US Senators up in 2018 ie Donnelly-IN,McCaskill-MO,Tester-MT,Heitkamp-ND,and Manchin-WV win re-election as well as the purple state Democratic US Senators up in 2018 ie Nelson-FL,Stabenow-MI,Brown-OH,Casey-PA,and Baldwin-WI. And we need to defeat Republican incumbents in AZ (Flake) and NV (Heller).
The 2017 Governors Races in NJ and VA are Races Democrats must win.
The 2018 Governors Races Democrats need to win are in
AL,AK,AZ,CA,CO,CT,GA,HI,IL,KS,ME,MD,MA,MI,MN,NV,NH,NM,NY,OH,OK,OR,PA,RI,SC,SD,TN,TX,VT,WI,and WY
The 2019 Governors Races Democrats need to win are in LA and MS.

7. We don't need DINO Manchin-WV any more...

We need a Democratic senator. We need to primary him.

10. Manchin will be replaced by a republican.

His co sponsor of the gun control stuff will do him in.

11. Here is what the gun nuts in WV will see if Joe is on the ballot:

He has an A (as in awful) from the NRA.

13. Question: Did any of them vote AGAINST Trumps nominees?

4. She's got my vote.

She was my congresswoman here in NY-20, ending Republican representation so entrenched that the Democratic party often didn't bother to field a candidate. She was extremely popular here and has done us proud as senator. She's obviously not afraid to speak out and stand up for what she believes in and I think she has a bright future whatever she decides to do.

5. Senator Kristen Gillibrand..

12. Psst, it's Kirsten

She was my congresswoman here in NY-20. When she first ran (and won) in 2006, President Clinton came to this small burg to campaign for her which certainly didn't hurt. This is a largely Republican area, but it was SRO, no doubt to see him. I was there and it was pretty exciting!

6. Guaranteed O'Keefe and the repubs plotting something

right now. She is a definite threat.

8. I do NOT want her Primaried.

There have been reports that Kennedy may do such a thing. NY-- Keep her!

[Princess Turandot]

14. That was just the NY Post, undoubtedly trying to cause perception problems for Gillibrand nt

9. She has been working on a national profile for a while

Along with Cory Booker. And perhaps along with Tim Kaine.

Watching them all closely, and hope to see Franken in the quest. And perhaps Klobuchar.

Our next field need more national prominence to have a good chance.

Hope Hillary does not run and suck the life out of the next tier. We need her and Obama as guides and cheerleaders.

Just my opinion as a geezer, anxious to see the torch passed to worthy successors.
