If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
That tripling down is exactly why she won't win. LakeArenal Feb 2019 #1
Frankly, I wasn't terribly fond of Gillibrand Control-Z Feb 2019 #2
What investigations? Trumpocalypse Feb 2019 #21
There were no investigations that I'm aware of. Control-Z Feb 2019 #103
Nor would there have been Trumpocalypse Feb 2019 #104
I'm not quite sure what the point is you're Control-Z Feb 2019 #122
Actually he asked for an ethics committee hearing Trumpocalypse Feb 2019 #123
Nor was I. Now I really don't like her. ailsagirl Feb 2019 #111

"Eight credible allegations" my ass. Canoe52 Feb 2019 #3
"corroborated" "in real time" "by the press" crazytown Feb 2019 #4
Allegations of what? Funtatlaguy Feb 2019 #15
Exactly. We're supposed to take her word for it. catrose Feb 2019 #29
+1. She has been very disrespectful to Franken and his legacy dalton99a Feb 2019 #44
What exactly is Franken's legacy? Trumpocalypse Feb 2019 #124
She continues to practice the "big lie" technique... brush Feb 2019 #102
I'm not going to vote for Gillibrand. No regrets. LastLiberal in PalmSprings Feb 2019 #5
Bingo workinclasszero Feb 2019 #17

There are far better candidates. dalton99a Feb 2019 #39

Gillibrand is a proven opportunist quickesst Feb 2019 #6
Proven opportunist? Trumpocalypse Feb 2019 #22
Thanks for reminding me about Harris and Booker. defacto7 Feb 2019 #47
Thanks to the Smollett case, Booker may be learning to wait for evidence LongtimeAZDem Feb 2019 #51
Well.... quickesst Feb 2019 #63
So... Trumpocalypse Feb 2019 #76
Most people change their minds on some issues over time, PatSeg Feb 2019 #179
I agree Trumpocalypse Feb 2019 #184
Yes and you have belabored PatSeg Feb 2019 #187
So others get to evolve and she doesn't? Trumpocalypse Feb 2019 #189
We will all look at the various candidates PatSeg Feb 2019 #190
This is not about the primary Trumpocalypse Feb 2019 #192
In a thread of about 200 comments, PatSeg Feb 2019 #207
It's not about me either Trumpocalypse Feb 2019 #208
I punch a time clock. Jakes Progress Feb 2019 #217

Thank you for laying it out so clearly. brush Feb 2019 #105
"gives opportunism a bad name" DBoon Feb 2019 #49
You are right quickesst Feb 2019 #66
Franken matter aside, I don't think she's going to gain any traction. Garrett78 Feb 2019 #7
The only thing that will keep her going is money Trenzalore Feb 2019 #12
I agree Trumpocalypse Feb 2019 #23
Make up your mind. Weren't you just expounding in her favor a few posts above? brush Feb 2019 #106
No Trumpocalypse Feb 2019 #108
Nice try, but you're all over that thread defending her. brush Feb 2019 #110
Yes I am Trumpocalypse Feb 2019 #114
BS, she screwed Franken and deserves the scorn. brush Feb 2019 #118
She and over 30 other Senators Trumpocalypse Feb 2019 #120
You keep pushing the same inaccuracy when I told you on the last thread... brush Feb 2019 #132
Sorry but that is not the truth Trumpocalypse Feb 2019 #138
I presume you know how to use google. Research the Gillibrand interview... brush Feb 2019 #145
Your making the accusation Trumpocalypse Feb 2019 #146
There you go again. Dec. 6, the same as other Dems is not accurate. brush Feb 2019 #147
No that is the truth Trumpocalypse Feb 2019 #148
You can't rewrite history. Many of us followed the Franken story... brush Feb 2019 #175
I'm not the one trying to re-writer history Trumpocalypse Feb 2019 #176
No regrets? WTF. democratisphere Feb 2019 #8
"He had eight credible allegations against him..." dchill Feb 2019 #9
I agree about Tweeden Trumpocalypse Feb 2019 #30
Except that's not how it works. It's not up to the accused to prove that accusers are lying LongtimeAZDem Feb 2019 #42
That is the bar for criminal prosecution Trumpocalypse Feb 2019 #46
It's the bar for all forms of critical analysis; law, debate, the scinentific method, etc. LongtimeAZDem Feb 2019 #48
So then Trumpocalypse Feb 2019 #53
I said the same thing then; just because I despise someone, doesn't mean I don't require proof. LongtimeAZDem Feb 2019 #54
So what is your proof? Trumpocalypse Feb 2019 #58
I don't have any; that's why I said "I believe" and "I think". I could make a case for it, but LongtimeAZDem Feb 2019 #61
He could have chosen to stay and fight Trumpocalypse Feb 2019 #62
Ridiculous; it was a witch hunt, and anyone who defended him would have gone down wth him LongtimeAZDem Feb 2019 #65
So Franken was a victim Trumpocalypse Feb 2019 #71
I won't quibble with that LongtimeAZDem Feb 2019 #72
I agree with your assessment PatSeg Feb 2019 #180
that link with Frankens responses makes her look worse. LiberalLovinLug Feb 2019 #133
So are you accusing all the other 7 women of lying? Trumpocalypse Feb 2019 #139
Its reported - You decide LiberalLovinLug Feb 2019 #140
Well I wouldn't accuse anyone of lying with out evidence Trumpocalypse Feb 2019 #142
The "Army Veteran" Is A Lying Trumpanzee wellst0nev0ter Feb 2019 #149
Can you prove that? Trumpocalypse Feb 2019 #150
Can You Prove Why wellst0nev0ter Feb 2019 #152
Still not proof Trumpocalypse Feb 2019 #155
Give the names of every single accuser then wellst0nev0ter Feb 2019 #158
Very cute Trumpocalypse Feb 2019 #159
Names, not summaries. wellst0nev0ter Feb 2019 #160
So you can't prove any of them are lying Trumpocalypse Feb 2019 #161
So you don't know any of their names wellst0nev0ter Feb 2019 #165
Stop diverting Trumpocalypse Feb 2019 #166
