Any time the left goes after its own, it’s a beautiful thing. Gillibrand has been heming and hawing on her Second Amendment bona fides already. In 2006, the left took over Congress because they ran candidates who were more socially conservative, mostly on the Second Amendment, but some were pro-life, e.g. Casey in PA.
They even had a guy from one of the western states who chewed tobacco. Rahm Emanuel was the brains behind that strategy. He recruited many of those candidates. Some of them had been Republicans, or said they were. Jim Webb was the one that surprised me.
