For those asking why Gilllibrand is launching her campaign from Trump's hotel...

Imagine the message of attacking Trump and all he stands for within his own building.

That her campaign has picked up very few endorsements and $$ though she was one of the earliest to announce leaves her no choice but to try a "reboot". I think she's headed toward nothing but embarrassment.

he can then chortle and crow that he gave her the space free. If he didn't, she's paying. I don't know which is worse.

Launching her campaign from Trump's hotel is not attacking him. Is she paying for it? If so she's giving to him.

She's doing horrible in every poll I've seen. One poll had her trailing Andrew Yang, for god's sake.

Seriously. Just pull up and announce to the person taking your order that you are running for president. Have someone filming from the passenger seat. Keep going with policy as he asks if you want one of everything else on the menu, or cheese on your change.

At least it would generate social media fame. Millions of views. Make all the talk shows. Maybe a nickname from Trump.

Otherwise she has nothing. Nobody cares.
