Kirsten Gillibrand Drops Out of Democratic Presidential Race
The New York Times ^ | 8/28/19 | Alexander Burns

Posted on 08/28/2019 2:50:43 PM PDT by Yossarian

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.”

Ms. Gillibrand, 52, had anchored her candidacy in issues of women’s equality, with a strong emphasis on abortion rights. She pledged to screen nominees for judgeships based on their support for the Roe v. Wade decision legalizing abortion, and held rallies in two Republican-leaning states, Georgia and Missouri, where conservative lawmakers recently passed new restrictions on the procedure.

“Ms. Gillibrand, who has made electing women to Congress a personal cause”

I thought there are no genders, “men” and “women”.

And those gigantic enthusiastic rallies.

And then suddenly, there were only 20 candidates.

Yep, buh-bye fake upstate conservative. Sadly, I would have voted for her sooner than any of the Three Stooges, if anything she said before had even a grain of truth. Loser!

Don’t underestimate Warren. She is more capable of doing a “Clinton” and pretending to be a Centrist than the other candidates.

She must not have been able to meet the Democrat rules for continuing in the debates. That’s all I can think of. The deadline for candidates to make the cut, was today.

Dear New York Slimes,

Please explain how Gillibrand can be a “champion of... families” while advocating the murder of unborn children.

Just curious,

Prav.

Because it’s NY and she’s a dem.

She got elected because of her politics by NYC. That tells someone all they need to know.

I think she's going to get it and may have more support than we give her credit for.

If she doesn't go brain dead in the debates, she could be a threat and we all know what a gun grabber she is.

I’m kinda, sorta getting the same feeling.

And what bothers me is that Princess Little Mouth Always Running would be my preferred candidate.

There just aren’t many female politicians who could make Lady Macbeth of Little Rock sound like a fount of kind-hearted matronly wisdom, but that’s the senator from Mass. for you. Lizzie Warren is off-the-charts obnoxious and it’s positively exhilarating to think of DJT taking her apart piece by piece in the debate.

It all sounds too good to be true — so what’s the catch? And there always is a catch.

Are the RATs so sure that their vote fraud machines are primed to go in the key Rust Belt states?

Trump simply HAS to know about the extent of RAT vote fraud. He has better sources available to him than any of us down in FReeperland.

And all you nervous nellies out there — don’t think that just because Trump isn’t talking about an issue, he’s not aware of it. He is the master of misdirection. He knows that there are some times to tell the whole world (on Twitter, especially) and others to keep your own counsel.

And I profoundly hope that Trump is prepared to resort to extra-constitutional means to save our republic and our culture, because that’s what the evil Marxist RATs want to exterminate.

There are things I’m hearing around certain circles that concern me. Namely that there are some “Republicans” that could vote for her, over Trump. That is not the case with the other Rat candidates, with the possible exception of Biden.

She has me concerned.

We can only pray that somehow God would remove her from the pool of candidates in whatever manner He chooses.
