I thought she was going to be much more formidable then she ended up being.

has more power than we thought

But I agree, thought she was a top 10 candidate for sure
just something very fake and awkward in her appearances and internal promotion stuff

Guys, super flattered but I just cannot move to Georgia and run for the Senate right now.

wow best idea ever for latest chapter in "what crazy thing can we get a bordie to do"

I'm in for $50

I don't know if you can blame her lack of momentum on the pro-Franken folks.  I kind of feel that's an online only phenomenon, though I could be wrong.  I have no thoughts or feelings about Gillebrand at all, before or after this primary, but I really can't recall a single thing she did as part of it.  At least duds like Delaney or Hickenlooper stood out, though for negative reasons.

The only team he's improve is the Orioles.

Next time, can you please correct my obvious grammar mistakes when quoting me?  Ugh, that made me cringe.

I also don't think the Franken thing hurt her, if anything it is the only thing she did that gave her any identity.  I think the bigger issue is she tried to move from being center left to more progressive and the move didn't really work for anyone.

I think she probably would have done better as Klobuchar without the stories of staff abuse.

Shit, I’m a senate candidate now. Moving into the family compound in Blairsville.

Please send the fiddy to the #JulianForTheNow Campaign headquarters.

noticing most stories about her only mention two things…franken and NRA A rating
definitely failed to make a narrative about her in the campaign

Just saw this…false flag…but kinda funny
A sad day for the Democrats, Kirsten Gillibrand has dropped out of the Presidential Primary. I’m glad they never found out that she was the one I was really afraid of!
welp at least they have this tweet to remember the campaign

I'm talking to the marketing team and I'm lobbying for #JustintimeJulian as the slogan

it is interesting in the dem primary…except for mayor Pete…seems like the initial top picks have stayed the top picks
when the republicans had 16…many of them led polling and got big bumps (and press) along the way

there were times when Fiorina, Walker, Rubio, Carson, and Jeb were all leading in polling (is it me but neither Cruz, Kasich or Trump never led in the polls but they were the last three)

been pretty much the same leaders since it's started with the dems



Unrealted
from what I read…this headline sums it all up The new James Comey report proves whatever you want it to prove
the spin from both sides is like they are reading two different documents

just like the mueller report…

Former Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz abandons 2020 presidential ambitions
not that he even had a chance…I don't really know anyone who liked him as a candidate


this was interesting, but not surprising
Republicans to scrap primaries and caucuses
"Republican parties in South Carolina, Nevada, Arizona and Kansas are expected to finalize the cancellations in meetings this weekend"
Is there any precedent to this?

This made me chuckle
Joe Walsh "Trump is afraid of a serious primary challenge because he knows his support is very soft.” super soft with over 90% approval in the party. Joe I don't think you know what that word means

I might have to have a frappachino to celebrate his departure.

Oh, he had his fans

Valerie Plame is running in New Mexico for the house. …and has a kick ass ad

oh and Mark Sanford didn't get the memo that the RNC pretty much isn't allowing people to primary Trump…but he's running

trump predictably tweeted "“But now take heart, he is back, and running for President of the United States. The Three Stooges, all badly failed candidates, will give it a go!”

#julianforthenewjobsearch 
Nate's called him one of the BOCK candidates (Booker/O’Rourke/Castro/Klobuchar) and giving them a TKO on 2020

looking like last 5 standing will be
Warren, Harris, Buttigieg (still a little bit of a shocker), Biden and Sanders

Obviously February is a few months away…but not looking good for the other 15 major candidates still running
apparently there are over 250 people who filed with the FEC to run for president in the Democratic Party primary

He was always FOR THE FUTURE. Why doesn't anyone pay attention when I tell you things?
