I’ve taught my kids, never, ever, ever, ever vote for a Democrat for anything — city council, town librarian, whatever. Once elected, the party bosses will pull their strings and they’ll fall in line. They always do.
True.
Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) is a prime example.
As a US Representative from a fairly conservative upstate NY district she was not openly supportive of expanded gun control legislation.
If she had supported more gun control she would likely have been voted out of office in that district.
Then she was coronated to replace Hillary Clinton in the US Senate when Hillary became Secretary of State.
Once that happened Gillibrand immediately fell in line with the democrat party ultra-liberals. She now votes the straight leftist democrat position on gun control and other issues.
