2020...

Well Gillibrand is out. It's a bit of a shame, as I think she has lots of good qualities and was one of the few dems who had a track record of winning over rural voters.

However I would say there were two main factors in her presidential campaign getting much traction. The first is guns. To win over Upstate NY voters, she was forced to positioned herself as basically "pro-gun". And it was looking to "win back" suburban women voters she'd lost with her pro-gun stances- that lead to her taking the lead in the "me too" movement. And too make her bones she took down Frankin. Which is of course the second factor in her loss. She took that gamble and got him to give up office before all the facts was in, and it seemingly blew up in her face.

I do think, sometimes unfairly, that a lot of women fall into the bitch trap where they can be damned if they do and damned if they don't. As KG seems to have done here. If Al was innocent, why did he run away so quickly?

Kirsten Gillibrand Drops Out of 2020 Presidential Race

Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) announced that she is dropping out of the 2020 Democratic presidential race on Wednesday.

“After more than eight months, and with clarity that she will not have access to the September debate stage, Senator Kirsten Gillibrand is suspending her campaign for president today,” a memo from her campaign read.

“While this is not the result we wanted, Kirsten is proud of her aggressive, innovative and policy-driven campaign, and has never been more optimistic about Democrats’ chances to defeat President Trump and lay the foundation for our country’s future,” the memo continued.

The announcement came after Gillibrand failed to make the September debate stage before the Wednesday cutoff. Other female candidates like Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) and Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) made the cut while Gillibrand, author Marianne Williamson, and Sen. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) did not.

“I think being able to have a voice on a debate stage, when other candidates have that, is really important,” Gillibrand told The New York Times. “And without it, I just didn’t see our path.”

Now out of the race, the New York senator also told the Times she would back whoever the Democratic nominee turned out to be.

Far-left Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) was slammed online on Tuesday after news broke about her alleged affair with a Democrat consultant with many calling the scandal-ridden first-term congresswoman a "homewrecker."


Moore On Ilhan Omar: 'Trump Was Right, She Should Go Back To Somalia'

The New York Post reported:

A Washington, DC, mom says her political-consultant husband left her for Rep. Ilhan Omar, according to a bombshell divorce filing obtained by The Post.

Dr. Beth Mynett says her cheating spouse, Tim Mynett, told her in April that he was having an affair with the Somali-born US representative — and that he even made a “shocking declaration of love” for the Minnesota congresswoman before he ditched his wife, alleges the filing, submitted in DC Superior Court on Tuesday.

The report spurred widespread mockery of Omar, who often presents herself as being morally superior to others.

Producer Robby Starbuck tweeted: "Some homewrecker wrecked something."

Biden pushes back against report that he told an inaccurate war story


The Democratic presidential candidate jumbled the elements of the tale, the Washington Post reported, but he’s standing by his word

Joe Biden, the frontrunner in the Democratic primary race, has sought to dismiss a media report that he told a war story on the campaign trail strewn with false and inaccurate details.

The former US vice president jumbled elements of multiple events in his tale about a navy captain rejecting a silver star for retrieving the body of a dead comrade, according to the Washington Post.

“In the space of three minutes, Biden got the time period, the location, the heroic act, the type of medal, the military branch and the rank of the recipient wrong, as well as his own role in the ceremony,” the Post said.


Biden relayed the story at a town hall event last week in Hanover, New Hampshire. He recounted how a “young Navy captain” rappelled down a 60ft ravine in the mountains in the Kunar province of Afghanistanduring an unsuccessful attempt to retrieve a fellow soldier’s body.

Biden claimed that a general wanted him to fly to Afghanistan to pin a silver star on the captain but the captain declined. “God’s truth, my word as a Biden,” the former vice president said. “He stood at attention, I went to pin him, he said: ‘Sir, I don’t want the damn thing. Do not pin it on me sir, please. Do not do that. He died. He died.’”

Too gaffe-prone to be president? Biden's blunders prompt fresh scrutiny
But based on interviews with more than a dozen troops, commanders and Biden campaign officials, the Washington Post said it found that he apparently conflated elements of at least three actual events into one story.


“Biden visited Kunar province in 2008 as a US senator, not as vice-president,” the paper reported. “The service member who performed the celebrated rescue that Biden described was a 20-year-old Army specialist, not a much older Navy captain.

“And that soldier, Kyle J White, never had a Silver Star, or any other medal, pinned on him by Biden. At a White House ceremony six years after Biden’s visit, White stood at attention as President Barack Obama placed a Medal of Honor, the nation’s highest award for valor, around his neck.”

Campaigning in South Carolina on Thursday, Biden did not offer an apology or admit error. “I don’t understand what they’re talking about, but the central point is it was absolutely accurate what I said,” he told the Charleston Post and Courier.“He refused the medal. I put it on him, he said, ‘Don’t do that to me, sir. He died. He died.’ ”


The candidate denied “that there’s anything I said about that that wasn’t the essence of the story. The story was that he refused the medal because the fella he tried to save – and risked his life saving – died. That’s the beginning, middle and end. The rest of you guys can take it and do what you want with it.”

Biden, 76, is a self-confessed “gaffe machine” with a long career of blunders, including during two previous failed presidential campaigns. Some commentators argue this again makes him vulnerable against Democratic challengers for 2020.

David Axelrod, the former Barack Obama campaign strategist, tweeted on Thursday: “Not in any way taking anything away from the reporters, who undoubtedly reported it out, but this reads like the product of a pretty sophisticated opposition research dump … And there will be more, because @JoeBiden is a gaffe and embellishment machine. But if you read to the end of this story, it also reflects something that is a real strength, and that is his empathy.”

Idk...
Trump says some off the wall stuff too, and it hasn’t held him back. Outside the internet rage machine, voters it’s seems are understanding of slips of the lip. Even angry raging slips of the lip, which I’ll admit was a surprise to me.

Umm. In your post about how other people are idiots, you managed to misspell the word “masters”.

Oh, and we all know you did not intend to misspell it, so as to be called out on it in this post. You were just being a hypocritical idiot.

It's called a typo. I know it's never happened to you, right? And how is that hypocritical? Do you even know what the word means? Quick.. look it up and paste the definition as if you knew...

The immediate problem as I see it is the risk he takes with each new racist, sexist, xenophobic post, anywhere in the forum. Each one compounds his legal jeopardy.

As to the tens of thousands of preexisting racist, threatening posts, sure he could have them deleted, but that places the admin in legal jeopardy too for aiding and abetting.

On the upside, as a felon for committing a federal crime, he can appeal to Trump for a pardon.
