 Gillibrand has some very good ideas on various issues, but do you think she has too much emphasis on issues regarding women? I'm not sure it would play well in the general election knowing how some voters can be.

Gillibrand's points of focus should be

1.)  Her military expertise--she's the ranking member on the Armed Services Personnel subcommittee, she was one of the leaders on Don't Ask Don't Tell repeal, she's fought sexual abuse in the military, etc.

2.)  Her ties to New York's Tech Valley--she's been a leader in helping revitalize the old manufacturing areas of the state and develop modern industries.  Or at least that's how she should sell herself.

Sort of. She’s almost a one issue candidate at this point. And it doesn’t help when pretty much the whole field is in agreement on this issue. I think it turns a lot of people off navies they want a candidate focused on more. I’ve seen her do more and so it really sucks that her campaign has been reduced to a single issue not exclusive to her.

It's definitely one of the flaws of her campaign.

Similar to Inslee and climate change, she's put so much focus on third-wave feminism, females, and abortion that it's really all she is known for.

And even though she's released policies on other issues, they're so milquetoast and conventional that it's not gaining her any attention.

Put it all together with the Al Franken scandal - and you have why this debate tonight will probably be her last.

Yes. I feel she should do more to push her Family Bill of Rights. While it is linked to some of the womens issues who are important to her, it has a broader appeal and it is actually a very interesting policy that deserves more attention.

She is running Hillary's Identity politics campaign. She is playing woman's card too much.

But yes, Gillibrand does come across as a misandrist.

Can you point me to anything she said that came across as her hating all men?
