In reply to the discussion: Gillibrand on Al Franken : No regrets [View all]quickesst
(6,280 posts)How about starting with her transformation from an A+ rating from the NRA to an F rating after being appointed to Hillary Clinton senate seat. Then you have her transformation from an anti-immigrant politician to a pro immigrant politician at about the same time. We will continue with throwing the Clintons under the bus after they campaigned for her. Then there is the Al Franken resignation in which she led the charge for his ouster, thus gaining what she perceived as the moral high ground without giving a thought to an ethics hearing to determine his actual guilt or not, and at the same time eliminating probably the biggest hurdle for her 2020 presidential run. Several top donors and supporters have affirmed there displeasure at her actions against Al Franken and will not be supporting or donating to her presidential campaign. After stating emphatically that she would serve the full six years of her Senate term, 2 Days later confirmed that she was weighing her options as to a presidential bid. All of this is pretty easy to substantiate with a little due diligence.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
