Gillibrand formally announces candidacy

[Possiblymaybe]

Not impressive in terms of crowd size. Also she’s not a good speaker. Very flat and stilted delivery, it felt really rehearsed. It’s gonna be a problem for her to stand out with so many strong passionate speakers running amongst the “younger” candidates and then of course she’s lacking someone like Hillary’s name recognition or loyal supporters.

I think she is going to be the Scott Walker of 2020. Good political instincts,but lacking in charisma.

Nah, Scott Walker frequently led the polls along with Jeb Bush for the first half of 2015.  Gillibrand is closer to Bobby Jindal.

The area that was permitted and blocked off was quite full. I don't think they wanted a huge crowd, for some reason.
