Gillibrand not making the cut for Dem presidential debates
[AMERICANTHINKER] Kirsten Gillibrand's fundraising has been so anemic that she may not be able to participate in the party's presidential debates ‐ unlike Andrew Yang and Tulsi Gabbard, who already have made the cut.

It turns out that, at least in a crowded field, being stupid and unprincipled can be a handicap for a Democrat. Who knew?
"These are my principles. If you don't like them, I can have others"
Kirsten Gillibrand, who managed to become a U.S. senator only because Perennial Presidential Campaigner Hillary Crooked Hillary Clinton
... former first lady, former secretary of state, former presidential candidate, Conqueror of Benghazi, Heroine of Tuzla, formerly described by her supporters as the smartest woman in the world, usually described by the rest of us as The Thing That Wouldn't Go Away...
vacated her seat to become Obama's SecState and the governor of New York wanted a woman to fill the seat, miraculously transformed from a Blue Dog Democrat representing a conservative upstate district into a full blown progressive when winning a statewide election was necessary.

#1 the writer doesn't understand the rules

Gillibrand has already made the cut via the polling criterion

the issue is that the DNC will actually disqualify some of the candidates who make the cut to avoid overcrowding the stage and Gillibrand may lose on this because the individual donor numbers are less than other candidates who made the cut

#3 Safe bet she will "come out" shortly and run on a platform of required "ghey studies" with emphasis on "first hand experience" for K-12...

#4 Unable to reach 65,000 unique donors, Gillibrand may not take the stage with fellow Democrat presidential hopefuls like the ever popular Andrew Yang and Tulsi Gabbard, both of whom have managed to reach that threshold.

#5 She will be on a soapbox in Slime Square on debate night and CNN and MSLSD will cover her live in picture on picture.

#6 Me keeping track of the D primary must be like my wife keeping track of the NHL playoffs. "Oh, so Colorado is still in it? They're the Nuggets right?"
