because the we have a power structure that has decided what is minor and should not be addressed in the interest of protecting powerful men.

Pushing a great Democrat out the door - and terminating a good man's career - without investigation

accurate.

Takes a genuine f2020 favourite out

And sucking up to Wall Street and big tobacco.

She has boundary issues, as in she has no boundaries where it concerns her own ambition.

Roger Stone operation.

What a hero she could have been to expose the GOP rat fucking.

But, she blew it. Might have been a teachable moment to those unaware: there is no low that the GOPee won't go to, to serve Mother Russia and the mob.

once you're in the Oval office? Your judgment seems so inflexible, that you can be an easy Republican useful idiot, kneecapping your own people instead of focusing on Democratic objectives.

I am aware that Kamala Harris also asked him to step down. That may or not turn into a problem for her, but I do know that Kamala Harris has been unrelenting in her attacks again the right. That will help provide a balance that might see her through.

But she was driving it.

Have the investigation, find out all the facts, THEN if it’s damning, call for resignation. What she did was pile on to a lot of questionable accusations, which our members took as a cue to get out in front of the story. What she did gave cover to Roger Stone’s hit job, which would have come to light in an investigation.

You have to stand up for what’s right, but you failed to do do.

because that act of treachery against a colleague is going to haunt her, as it should. She should just give up and go home and not waste any more money and effort on a lost cause.

And please don't bother to campaign in Minnesota.

and she thinks people have already forgotten

in kneecapping Al Franken, not to mention the Clinton's and her past defending big tobacco, etc., she should realized her baggage is not going away.

"The Peter Principle" is being played out by her career path. She's reached her level of incompetence—aka her gullibility in falling for the Roger Stone hit job on Sen. Franken.

Never back down, never admit you’ re wrong. Bullying 101.

I don’t want to hear it. If you had apologized, I was ready to give you a second chance. Screw you, Ms. Gillibrand.

I really don't like her.

Psst, when Roger Stone tweeted something like "It's Franken's time in the barrel" --before rightwing operative Tweeden shared the gag photo where Al's not touching her--you might want to slow down, deliberate, and investigate.

What was the fucking rush to railroad Al?

The smartest move that the Jr. Senator from New York could have made, but didn't: Use the investigation to expose the mobbed up, filthy GOPee goons for what they are.

Further, there was/is an on-going Russian attack on the USA. A dirty, filthy attack. Of course Putin would want to take out the opposition.

What might have background checks of the accusers shown? One of the women living free in a Trump condo? Tweeden getting a unit in Trump Tower, where she could visit her pal, Don Jr?

Michael Cohn was passing out CASH to get his mob boss in the Oval. Did any cash from Cohn make its way into Tweeden's pockets?

Some fat bank account in Cyprus in an accuser's name, full of rubles? Putin's attack started early and was/is still on going when the rat fuckers took the opportunity to invalidate the votes of Minnesotans.

What a missed opportunity to further expose the crimes of the mobbed up Trumpers and their master, Putin.

Instead, she played a large role in ensuring there was never an investigation. I wonder why?

regardless of the Franken circumstances. However, I will make no effort to assist her in becoming the nominee. She failed to persuade me to support her with her appearance on Rachel's show.

There are many better candidates with much less baggage.

“What we have to do a better job of is educating not only Iowans, but the American people that they can be self-sufficient. They don’t have to rely on the government to be the do-all, end-all for everything they need and desire, and that’s what we have fostered, is really a generation of people that rely on the government to provide absolutely everything for them. It’s going to take a lot of education to get people out of that. It’s going to be very painful and we know that. So do we have the intestinal fortitude to do that?…

“We’re looking at Obamacare right now. Once we start with those benefits in January, how are we going to get people off of those? It’s exponentially harder to remove people once they’ve already been on those programs…we rely on government for absolutely everything. And in the years since I was a small girl up until now into my adulthood with children of my own, we have lost a reliance on not only our own families, but so much of what our churches and private organizations used to do. They used to have wonderful food pantries. They used to provide clothing for those that really needed it. But we have gotten away from that. Now we’re at a point where the government will just give away anything.”

Franken won a prolonged recount, over that goof Norm Coleman. His vote after being sworn in was important.

The lunatic republicans, who were ginning up hate for the ACA, said so themselves:

I just can't trust her judgement. Honestly, I can't even stand to LISTEN to her.

if she hasn’t figured out yet that there is a lot of anger at her for this, and it’s not going away.

It was a roger stone hit job. Sorry Senator Gillibrand you lead the charge without letting Senator Franken defend himself. I will not be supporting you in any primary.

She may get a pass at home or by media that enjoys fractured politics.

and that is NOT to vote for her. I doubt she gets the nomination anyway. She has way too much baggage and there are MANY much more qualified candidates to choose from.

That’s why I don’t support her.

Secure in her conviction that she had to say the things she did and convinced that they owe her.
