Ironic that the only person who seems to have learnt the lessons from 2016, is HRC protege Kirsten

Gillibrand.

She has voted NO on all of Trump's nominees, except Nicki Haley. I believe the only senator to do so.

I really look forward to her 2020 run.

Might be time to whip out the photoshop and start making graphics to share. We might have to let her know that it is time to run.

i literally would not know how to pick between them.

I do hope that Kamala does not wait to run, the longer people wait the more votes they have to cast, and the more ammunition both the right and the alt left have on them

Whoever win the primary gets to be prez, the second place should be vp. I am not wanting to have a big fight among dems this time. We lived through a horrible cycle, I know we learned a thing or two. I'm easy, I always vote for the winner.

she's a policy wonk with an encyclopedic knowledge of any issue you can think of. Her positions are well thought out and mostly progresive. I think she's one of the best we have.

If you're inclined to donate to her 2018 Senate campaign here's the link -
