Gillibrand's campaign will probably have the longevity of a moth at a campfire

Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) has become as relevant as a nightlight is to Chuck Norris. At one time people thought she was going to be the next Hillary Clinton, except not the loser part. She took over Hillary's Senate seat [was it still warm, I wonder], and she came out like a hockey mom whose kid got thrown into the boards.

Now, not so much.

"KG" is pulling in about one percent of the vote, and it isn't the Bernie "millionaires and billionaires" who support her, even though she now stands behind Bernie's platform. But that's her problem--she's like a chameleon when it comes to policy. She will go where the political winds blow.

Her fall from ratings she now blames on former Sen. Al Franken (D-MN).

Gillibrand's campaign reports, in FEC documents filed this week, that she took in a meager $3 million in the first quarter of 2019, which is like a friend handing you three bucks and asking you to buy a carton of cigarettes for them.

Why the trouble?

She has a theory as to why she can't gain headway on her campaign: "she's suffering backlash from sexists who objected to her calling out Franken for his inappropriate, sexually charged behavior, and spearheading his removal from the Senate," according to The Daily Wire.

Gillibrand's campaign will probably not be around for long. She needs to command at least an additional 4% of the vote to make it into the Democratic primary debates (she has a better chance getting struck by a major league fastball at an NFL game), or prove that more than 65,000 separate individuals donated to her cause, which is about the number of people who ride aboard the roof of a New Delhi bound bus during rush hour.

She might as well go camping.
