1. Nice pix!

[customerserviceguy]

2. She seems to have a tendency

to turn on the people who have helped her claw her way to where she is.

Just ask the Clintons.

[Trumpocalypse]

3. You mean like how

Harris turned on Biden?

[customerserviceguy]

4. I don't recall how Biden helped Harris

but if I'm wrong on that, then, yes.

[EffieBlack]

7. I wonder if people will turn on Gillibrand as viciously as they did on Harris for challenging Biden

[Trumpocalypse]

9. Probably more

Gillibrand is hated.

[treestar]

15. that was not a "challenge"

that was really a dumb way to attempt a "challenge." Go after people for their good side. Rovian.

[EffieBlack]

19. How was questioning his record on civil rights any different than questioning his record on women's

rights? Gillibrand even said his past record was hurtful, something Harris was dragged all over DU for saying.

But for some reason, Gillibrand isn’t taking the hits Harris did. Could it be that Gillibrand isn’t seen as a threat to Biden’s chances while Harris is? Or is it something else?

[treestar]

20. His record is good

So why is he the bad guy when there are Republicans and Orange Nazi? Harris is in fourth place.

[EffieBlack]

32. You avoided my question

How was questioning his record on civil rights any different than questioning his record on women's rights?

And why did you do exactly what I’m talking about - going after Harris but not Gillibrand for doing the same thing, just about a different issue?

[brooklynite]

16. What "people"?

The average voter isn’t ves Ed in a candidate fully enough to “hold a grudge”.

[treestar]

21. Viciously?

The praise Harris got for her tactic was about how tough she is. She can leave the kitchen if she can’t stand the heat. She began the negativity. It’s ok for her but pushing back is vicious.

Gilliland is already highly disliked. Her tactic was even dumber. Non issue even more than Harris’. Trying to make an income limit on a deduction into being against women working outside the home. How has that been n issue any later than 50 years ago.

I know we’d like a woman president. These two however are not up to the task.

[EffieBlack]

24. Yes. Viciously

And it hasn’t stopped.

[True Dough]

26. Have you not noticed how people turned on Gillibrand for drumming Al Franken out of the senate?

Geez, there's only been like a million posts about that with plenty of disdain expressed for her. Sure doesn't look like anyone's getting a pass to me.

[customerserviceguy]

27. I think they've already written off Gillibrand

even before this debate. She gets more scorn here than even di Blasio and Gabbard.

And Gillibrand telegraphed her attack, Harris just sneaked up on Joe that first time.

[Trumpocalypse]

8. He endorsed her

and helped fundraise for her.

[SouthernProgressive]

18. Yes. He has helped her. NT

[customerserviceguy]

28. Just another case

of Gillibrand biting the hand that fed her.

[SouthernProgressive]

29. Your comment that I was responding to was about Harris.

It was your own comment.

You meant to say "Just another case of Harris biting the hand that fed her."

Surprised you didn't already know the answer to that which you commented on.

Here is what I replied to as a refresher.

30. Sorry

got confused, was looking at a Gillibrand thread just before that.

[Cha]

10. Yes, like President Clinton and Hillary

after they helped her get elected.

[hlthe2b]

14. Yup.. and take credit for everything HRC did as Senator (e.g. original 911 bill)

[Tarheel_Dem]

5. K&R

[UniteFightBack]

6. Nobody is turning on anybody, let's not get crazy here. She did a hail mary and it failed...that is

all.

[Cha]

11. Good Find, DI!

That kills her silly tactic right there. She appears to be in a contest with Kamala over who can prove themselves least able to handle the presidency.

[Cha]

23. lol.. Don't come

for Joe Biden unless he sends for you!

treestar!

[Buzz cook]

12. So she's dropping out of the race

And running to be Biden's VP?

[OnDoutside]

13. I don't know if you are being serious but .....

[demmiblue]

25. The tweet is from 2016. n/t

[SouthernProgressive]

17. K&R. Two excellent Democrats. VAWA!!! NT

[BlueIdaho]

31. We need Gillibrand in the Senate.

Looking at the polls tells me that’s likely where she is going to stay.

[wyldwolf]

33. Biden must have really made an about face in the last 3 years.
