Wow, that was an excellent answer! MLAA Jul 2019 #1

Nice! EffieBlack Jul 2019 #2

Too bad she can't apologize for her wrongful action against Al Franken beachbum bob Jul 2019 #3

I think she was wrong about Franken, but that has nothing to do with StarfishSaver Jul 2019 #4

Unfortunately Trumpocalypse Jul 2019 #6

I think she was wrong and haven't forgotten it StarfishSaver Jul 2019 #8

It wasn't just her Trumpocalypse Jul 2019 #10

This isn't a Gillibrand should or shouldn't have done whatever to Franken thread. StarfishSaver Jul 2019 #11

Once again Trumpocalypse Jul 2019 #16

Let it go. StarfishSaver Jul 2019 #17

I don't let go of Trumpocalypse Jul 2019 #19

Apparently you have issues with Al Franken...fine, you're entitled to your opinion. But.. sdfernando Jul 2019 #51

No I have issues with the deification of Franken. Trumpocalypse Jul 2019 #52

So because you think Franken is being deified sdfernando Jul 2019 #55

Never said he didn't do good things Trumpocalypse Jul 2019 #56

Your post sdfernando Jul 2019 #58

None of this has anything to do with my OP StarfishSaver Jul 2019 #60

That's because you broke the rules Trumpocalypse Jul 2019 #65

This is one of those cases of "both sides are doing it" StarfishSaver Jul 2019 #67

But they are Trumpocalypse Jul 2019 #68

Yes I wrote nothing substantial Trumpocalypse Jul 2019 #63

Many people can't hold those two positions at the same time. SouthernProgressive Jul 2019 #66

LOL, here we go again. nt USALiberal Jul 2019 #12

Sorry Trumpocalypse Jul 2019 #14

Mr. Fassler, is that you??? nt USALiberal Jul 2019 #20

Why do you Trumpocalypse Jul 2019 #21

Let's see how the "Truth" works out for her. nt USALiberal Jul 2019 #22

Not the point Trumpocalypse Jul 2019 #36

Along with Harris, Sanders, Booker, Warren Trumpocalypse Jul 2019 #5

that has nothing to do with this thread JI7 Jul 2019 #9

It's unfortunate that the only argument you have against her is Al Franken Politicub Jul 2019 #23

Too bad a puerile desire for perfection denies far too many rationality. LanternWaste Jul 2019 #45

Gillibrand was one of 38. The more interesting question is why one woman is singled silentEcho Jul 2019 #53

What does ANY of this have to do with my OP? StarfishSaver Jul 2019 #59

Ironically, I think it is a pretty good example of that male privilege, silentEcho Jul 2019 #62

That was a very impressive answer DesertRat Jul 2019 #7

Well said, Senator! brer cat Jul 2019 #13

Beautiful response by Gillibrand. Very impressive. Autumn Jul 2019 #15

One answer does not a candidate make. democratisphere Jul 2019 #18

she is a senator JI7 Jul 2019 #24

Unfortunately for NYS. democratisphere Jul 2019 #25

They voted for her including re- electing her JI7 Jul 2019 #26

Many voters have no idea what their elected politicians do. democratisphere Jul 2019 #27

so you think most of new York has no idea about her ? JI7 Jul 2019 #28

Al Franken. No. democratisphere Jul 2019 #29

you think new Yorkers don't know who Al Franken is ? JI7 Jul 2019 #30

Nicely said and in a way that is educational w/out coming off as condescending. nt chowder66 Jul 2019 #31

Exactly! StarfishSaver Jul 2019 #34

Warren, Booker, Harris & Sanders also called for Franken's resignation. delisen Jul 2019 #33

+100 Lady_Chat Jul 2019 #37

Joe is the last man standing on that one. ucrdem Jul 2019 #41

Biden was not a sitting senator at the time. delisen Jul 2019 #50

Well said nt Trumpocalypse Jul 2019 #43

That was a really good answer to a tough question. Bluepinky Jul 2019 #35

Perhaps the voters of Minnesota will encourage him to run again. Lady_Chat Jul 2019 #40

Which Democratic office-holder would you like him to run against? brooklynite Jul 2019 #44
