I met and talked to Gillibrand when she was my house representative.

[shockey80]

I was impressed with her knowledge of issues. She seemed to really care. She knows how to play politics. What is going on now with sexually harassment is it has become politics. Franken is a victim of politics. The democrats see this as a big winning issue. Bigger than Franken. I liked Franken alot.

2. Be careful, saying you like Gillibrand around here is akin to saying you like Roy Moore. n/t

9. Third time I've heard this ridiculous talking post deployed at DU. Knock it off.

[Kirk Lover]

10. Well I can't take credit for it...but I'd like to say the same thing to all the people who are

trashing Dem's on the site...KNOCK IT OFF.

And to think I know someone who got banned for saying 'Pussy Pence' because it was misogynist.

[emulatorloo]

11. Then make that argument rather than hyperbolically insinuating Roy Moore is 'popular' w DUers

Or that DU'ers equate Senator Gillibrand with Roy Moore because that is a cheap rhetorical move.

[Kirk Lover]

13. I can't...I'm being called a troll for defending a Dem. Go figure.

[emulatorloo]

15. against TOS for someone to call you a troll, so alert on them

However that's not an excuse to use rhetorical tricks to smear DU'ers as Moore supporters

[Kirk Lover]

16. These same people are smearing Dem's...I was hoping that the hyperbole would

snap a few of them out of the madness. Oh and I don't alert...never have and never will.

[emulatorloo]

17. If I see someone call you a troll I will alert because that is not right.

DU OTT hyperbole just begets more OTT DU hyperbole. I am not a fan of it.

[Drahthaardogs]

12. I remember that post.

Strange though, I don't remember it being in the last 45 days. When exactly was it?

[Kirk Lover]

14. I saw someone say it today....and I reused it. In one of the Franken threads...can't

tell you which one because I've trashed most of them.

3. It would appear that she does not know how to play politics.

Because hounding Franken out of the senate was a horrible, stupid miscalculation that is likely to cause great damage to the party, the #metoo movement, and Gillibrand herself.

[Skittles]

4. she miscalculated

this was a bad move

[elleng]

5. Seems she's done good work in the past,

but as to this matter, I question her judgment.

[shockey80]

6. I repeat, this is politics. This is about next years election.

Gillibrand has been fighting for a long time for women in the service who are sexually abused and raped. She is being consistent. I like Franken and I did not want him to resign. We may not like what is happening but Gillibrand is being consistent.

Lets see what she does after Moore is elected. She better attack Trump, Moore, the republicans big time or I will turn against her.

[ProudLib72]

7. Consistent?

What have been her views in the past regarding application of justice? Has she always gone for conviction prior to trial?

[MoonRiver]

8. My guess is that the military gives the accused a hearing.

Or does it also allow trial by mob? I really don’t know, having never been part of that system.
