...depending on one's perspective on her long career in public service.

And what "long career" would that be? She rode Bill's coattails into the Arkansas Governor's office. Then she rode his coattails into the Presidency. The only elective office she ever held was a safe Blue Senate seat that was handed to her, when Moynihan retired. Would the party machine have done that for any other neophyte? Then she did one term as SecState, to mend the rift caused by Obama winning, against the pick of the party machine. Then the party machine handed all the "super delegates" to her in 2016. Again, would the machine do that for anyone with such a thin resume, without her riding Bill's coattails?

How safely blue is that seat?

94: Moynihan 55.25%

2000: Clinton 55.27%

2006: Clinton 67.00%

2012: Gillibrand 72.21%

2018: Gillibrand 67.0%

2024: Gillibrand 58.91%
