My kind of candidate

Madame President

Regular readers (both of you) know that I've already jumped on the Kirsten Gillibrand for President in 2020 bandwagon, but she is really distinguishing herself as the feistiest of Democrats, even among her colleagues in what is being called the "Hell-No Caucus."  Gillibrand has voted for exactly one of Trump's nominees (Nikki Haley for U.S. ambassador to the U.N.) and was the only Senator to vote against Secretary of Defense Gen. James Mattis (and how prescient will that look as Mattis and Trump look to escalate and/or start wars anywhere to detract from the administration's historic incompetence).

And how's this for her reasoning:  "If they suck, I vote against them.  If they're worthy, I vote for them."

There's an awful lot of suckitude in Trump's nominees, and Gillibrand is showing the fortitude to tell it like it is.

In the immortal words of the great Ray Charles, "Hallelujah, I love her so...."

Fuck Donald Trump,
