"SNIP......

Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY), “said that she was withdrawing from the Democratic primary after failing to qualify for a third debate next month — a development she described as fatal to her candidacy,” the New York Times reports.

“Ms. Gillibrand said in an interview that she would endorse another candidate in the primary but had not yet picked a favorite. Though she stopped short of saying she would endorse a woman, Ms. Gillibrand, who has made electing women to Congress a personal cause, said the next president had to be capable of uniting the country and suggested that a woman might be best suited for the job.”

But she added: “I will support whoever the nominee is, and I will do whatever it takes to beat Trump.”

Glad to see her go.
She had the stain of the Franken railroading.

4. Yes, she did, but several Senate Dems were also wrong.

Franken shouldn't have resigned. He should have sold Schumer 'fuck you' when he told Franken he had to resign. It was one of the stupidest things I've seen happen in Congress. We lost a great talent for nothing. He would have been the perfect candidate to run for President this year.
