Unfortunately, the establishment Dems have the desires of the voters in one hand and they're weighing that against hundreds of millions of dollars in soft money in the other, and so far the money has an uninterrupted win streak.
And Gilibrand has already clearly signaled which side she favors.
Never forget Hillary v. Bernie.
That was when it kicked off in earnest.
I still think that if there's one single person who deserves more of the blame than anyone else for Trump becoming president in the first place, it's Debbie Wasserman Schultz.
You can blame Hillary more.
Never forget.
Never forget that Hillary Clinton won the primary popular vote by 3 Million and also won the general popular vote?
If we're asking Gilibrand to fall in line, the least we could do is ask the same of each other.
Never forget PUMA.
Don't pretend for an instant that clinton worshipers are capable of party loyalty. They break from the party as soon as they don't get their very first choice.
