Senator Kirsten Gillibrand of New York, who presented herself in the presidential race as a champion of women and families, said Wednesday that she was withdrawing from the Democratic primary after failing to qualify for a third debate next month — a development she described as fatal to her candidacy.
Ms. Gillibrand said in an interview that she would endorse another candidate in the primary but had not yet picked a favorite. Though she stopped short of saying she would endorse a woman, Ms. Gillibrand, who has made electing women to Congress a personal cause, said the next president had to be capable of uniting the country and suggested that a woman might be best suited for the job.
“I think that women have a unique ability to bring people together and heal this country,” Ms. Gillibrand said, adding, “I think a woman nominee would be inspiring and exciting.”

You headed down the dark path Joe.
Too bad.
Very sad. Kirsten was the last to know. We have a room with a plaque on it for you, Kirsten. Step right over here with Beto.
Good, now we won't hear that Barbie Valley Girl voice of hers.............
Only if they are doctors. This crop of Rat candidates only look to divide and destroy America.
To 'heal' the country we need to eliminate the Rats
Bro, she didn’t even make the next debate cut.

The time some woman interrupted her to ask for ranch dressing was the highlight of her sorry campaign.
