I kind of liked Harold Ford Jr. when he was in the House. He wasn’t great on immigration, but he earned gentleman’s C, which is better than most Democrats. When he decided explore a run for Senate in New York, that was obviously going to change. But what’s hilarious is Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand criticizing him for an insincere move to the left. I loved his description of her as a party-controlled “parakeet” — the image would make a great ad.
