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.

Hey, look at the upside, Kirsten - more free time to get it on with the Jim Beam
A classic scene, back when Woody Allen was still funny.
Yeah....I was looking for a ringside shot of Cossell to say down goes Gillibrand down goes Gillibrand but found this one and felt it fit the situation. :)
Didn’t realize she was in.
Neither did people think trying to get to the Ranch Dressing...
Patience, Grasshopper. Gillibrand criticized Bildo Klintoon and it's only a matter of time before they pay her back with a damaging set of stories planted in the media to move her aside for Chelsea.
Vaya con dios para esta cabrona? PFFFT!
"Senator Kirsten Gillibrand of New York, who presented herself in the presidential race as a champion of women and families [emphasis added], ..."
FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument
Patriots, first consider that post-17th Amendment ratification Sen. Gillibrand unsurprisingly doesn’t seem to understand the following. The 12th Amendment doesn't stop a person from running for president just because they cannot satisfy the debate qualifications of a rogue, constitutionally undefined political party.
In fact, the Democratic Party being able to make her name off-limits to electors in all states is arguably a violation of the Founding States’ prohibition of agreements and compacts between the states without consent of Congress.
"Article I, Section 10, Clause 3: No State shall, without the Consent of Congress, lay any Duty of Tonnage, keep Troops, or Ships of War in time of Peace, enter into any Agreement or Compact with another State [emphasis added], or with a foreign Power, or engage in War, unless actually invaded, or in such imminent Danger as will not admit of delay."
On the other hand, with respect to her leadership goals to be a champion for women and families, Gillibrand actually needs to get out of federal politics and try to get elected as a state government leader, the same for her remaining, likewise misguided Democratic presidential race colleagues.
This is because state governments uniquely have the 10th Amendment power to experiment with social domestic policies that federal Democratic candidates for POTUS are wrongly promising to low-information voters with no express federal constitutional powers to justify such promises, not even as POTUS.
In fact, the congressional record shows that Rep. John Bingham, a constitutional lawmaker, had clarified that the Founding States had given the states, not the feds, the lion’s share of government power to care for the people.
”... the care of the property, the liberty, and the life of the citizen, under the solemn sanction of an oath imposed by your Federal Constitution, is in the States, and not in the Federal Government [emphases added].” —Rep. John Bingham, Congressional Globe, 1866. (See about middle of 3rd column.)
Justice Brandeis had reflected on Bingham’s words when he likewise emphasized state power to serve the people.
"It is one of the happy incidents of the federal system that a single courageous State may, if its citizens choose [emphasis added], serve as a laboratory; and try novel social and economic experiments without risk to the rest of the country.” — Justice Brandeis, Laboratories of democracy.
Note that constitutional limits on states as laboratories of democracy is that states cannot establish privileged / protected classes or abridge constitutionally enumerated rights, and must maintain a constitutionally guaranteed republican form of government.
Remember in November 2020!

"Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States."Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
"The “Holy Grail” of organized crime is to control government power to tax." —me
"The constitutionally undefined political parties are basically rival, corrupt voter unions, “union dues” paid by means of unconstitutional federal taxes.” —me
"The smart crooks long ago figured out that getting themselves elected to federal office to make unconstitutional tax laws to fill their pockets is a much easier way to make a living than robbing banks." —me
"Federal career lawmakers probably laugh all the way to the bank to deposit bribes for putting loopholes for the rich and corporations in tax appropriations laws, Congress actually not having the express constitutional authority to make most appropriations laws where domestic policy is concerned. Such laws are based on stolen state powers and uniquely associated stolen state revenues." —me
#Karamela better do something bold over Labor Day weekend or #Faux is gonna cement 2nd and force Biden to put her on the ticket.
Man, Biden-Warren is so whitbred it hurts.
At least Trump-Pence sounds like an Anglo-Saxon warrior invasion.
Biden-Warren sounds like a school board race.
More to the point, Obama's 'coalishun' isn't going to take the bus ride to the polls for a whitbred school board ticket. Not even if the free ham sandwich lunch has a hidden Kruggerand inside.

Western civilization is exterminating itself.
All that can be hoped for now is just civilization surviving.

She likes baby killing.
Damn, $1 was too much for her t-shirt.
The MSM won’t touch that.
On that hairy edge of being smart enough to know she’s an idiot.
Good riddance. She was an embarrassment even to this lame group.
Did anybody notice? Why would they? Elizabeth Warren already checks the “far left moonbat” and “womyn” boxes. What else did Gillibrand have to offer?
