If Gillibrand wants to bash Trump in front of one of his buildings she could do worse.

You cannot possibly convince me that her response to the Al Franken mess had nothing to do with her dwindling support not just in this forum but in national polls as well. I recall most people seemed to have a positive opinion of her before she decided it was a good idea to try and force out a popular senator from her own party over mere allegations alone.

She's still talking about it and trying to use it as a way to raise money for her campaign.

But, oh no, she's not an opportunist.

Maybe she is just the one who got the most media attention.

And why isn't Kamala Harris an opportunist? She got Franken's seat on the high profile Judiciary Committee.

As I previously stated (and you failed to address), she's campaigning on his downfall and trying to make money off of it. None of the others are doing that. As if she didn't already look like enough of an opportunist.

You have a fair point.

I was referring to back when it happened.

However, the tweet seems like a stupid move on her part.

9. She decided to own the Franken coup
Sun Mar 24, 2019, 02:21 AM

So she's defined by it, for better or worse. Hiding behind her co-conspirators does not show good leadership.

In the end, she decided to hang her hat on the unfounded accusations of right-wing propagandists and trumpanzees. If she couldn't stand up for Franken, she's not going to stand up for me.

A body part that, along with the shoulder, is the most common place to put your hand while posing with another person in a picture.

Her story just sounds absolutely ridiculous. It's not his fault that she felt self-conscious about her weight. He's not a mind reader and her being uncomfortable about her belly does not make it groping.

21. Tina Dupuy gave a dramatic account

of Franken holding her at the waist during a photo op.

The event was so traumatic for her she posted the photo approvingly on Facebook and contemporaneously complimented Franken on Twitter




That you and Gillibrand thought this was the final straw that warranted ruining the career of a good, honest and intelligent man, when such species are in such short supply today, is an act that defies words.

Now that the Mueller news has hit. She was never going to get above a few percent regardless but that's some bad luck right there either way.
