    "No One Likes You, Kirsten Gillibrand," and apparently she doesn't know how to cook fish properly.

    Unfortunately for her, meeting the benchmarks to qualify for the Democratic debates are dependent on likability. To get on the stage, a candidate must either reach 1 percent approval in three recognized polls or raise money from at least 65,000 donors across at least 20 states.

    She could discount the polls and hope that the pink logo and targeting of angry women voters will continue to pull in more of those women donors. Gillibrand may believe she is running a “marathon, not a sprint,” but that doesn’t mean you can lag behind for long and still expect to win.​

    Worst candidate in either party. Glad she is failing. Hope she goes away after this.

    Let's get her out of the running as quickly as possible.

    I wonder if she would’ve hit 65k if they counted everyone who sent money to Kristen instead of Kirsten.

    Abortion laws are a boon to Gillibrand's campaign

    Maybe worthy of a separate thread, but Corey Booker is also getting into the "free money" game:

    "Baby bonds, a proposal embraced by newly announced presidential candidate Cory Booker, would give newborns savings accounts that would be worth tens of thousands of dollars by age 18. It’s an ambitious plan — and, according to a new study, it would almost entirely close the wealth gap between black and white young people.

    Booker’s plan would offer all newborns $1,000, and then add up to $2,000 annually for children in low-income households. By age 18, that could add up to serious money; Booker’s team estimates that for kids from lowest-income families, the nest egg would average some $46,000."

    Sigh, how do such successful people not think through basic logic?

    Here's an idea: the score of one soccer game should have no role in a discussion of equity and compensation.

    Does she also think the Thai women's team should have pay cuts?

    I find this candidate especially annoying.

    I, too, find her to be a moron. Shockingly, she has a nice educational and professional (law firms) background before entering politics. But most lawyers are known for having truly awful business instincts, and this is one excellent illustration of that.

    GOOD DAY
