        Flip side though is we should still be able to call out naked political ambition in our politicians, as we always have, even when they happen to be female.

        Sure. But I don't think Gillibrand qualifies, at all. She's got a good political sense and pays attention to it. Good!

        What starts off as "too opportunistic" now, obviously becomes "LOCK HER UP" sometime around the RNC. Fuck these games.

        On Earth 2 the headline reads "Is Andrew Cuomo too transparently opportunistic to be a viable candidate?" Of course, on Earth 2, the answer is a resounding Yes.

        I like that she's responsive to her constituents and shows an ability to evolve and adapt policy goals accordingly. And I've always felt appreciated and listened to the multiple times I've spoken with her staffers in 2017. (chuck.... not so much for any of the above)

        Has Senator Gillibrand or any other Congresscritter called for Rep Blake Farenthold's resignation yet? Why is he still in Congress while Franken has to resign?

        This was shockingly sexist. No one ever considers the opportunism of male politicians to be a disqualifier in any way. If that were the case, Newt Gingrich would have been put out to pasture in 1998...
