I am confused about a 2018 Caroline Kennedy Senate Run:

[Chasstev365]

There are two popular incumbent Democratic Senators in NY and MA. In what state would she run?

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

1. The only "evidence" that she intends to run

seems to be coming from the New York Post, and therefore should not be taken seriously.

[monmouth4]

2. I hope neither. Not a good candidate, no personality. Smart as a whip no doubt but...n/t

[crazycatlady]

3. MA governor?

[tirebiter]

4. West Virginia

It was the starting point for JFK and Rockefeller was a senator there forever.

5. Forget it, the origin is the New York Post. . .

Anything the New York Post says should be taken with more than a grain of salt. It's a
POS-stained rag owned by Rupert Murdoch.

6. Fake news. nt

7. This is a blue NY vs red NY. if Trump is still in office Gillibrand would

lose.

It would be smart to give up her seat and run for president in 2020 since NY would go red in 2018.

10. Except Gillibrand is really well liked by all her constituents

So I don't see how she loses.

[CK_John]

11. Would she win a primary against C. Kennedy and then win state wide. I doubt it.

[justiceischeap]

12. I think yes.

She has a 47/21 approval spread. And she was the one that ended up taking Clinton's seat in NY when Kennedy dropped out of that race.

[djg21]

14. She won't lose.

It's not likely that a Republican could win statewide office in NY right now. Dems easily carry the State by winning NYC and a handful of cities/districts upstate, which is not too difficult notwithstanding the fact that rural upstate NY might as well be Dumbfuckistan.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

13. NY go red in 2018?

Whaaat?

8. Caroline Kennedy could run in CA-assuming DiFi retires or she can challenge DiFi in the primary.

Kennedy could make a second place finish in the open primary and defeat DiFi in the November 2018 runoff.

[Txbluedog]

9. Yes because we don't have enough problems...

So let's eat our own
