The First Debate - Kirsten Gillibrand

This morning I went to a candidate event put on by NY seniors. The only other candidate to show up was Kirsten Gillibrand. Sweeney refused to come. McNulty was expected but they said he had been injured.
I spoke first as Gillibrand was late. I said some of the ideas on this blog, focusing of course on 'stop wasting money.'
I fielded several questions, mostly related to Social Security.
Gillibrand spoke next. She speaks well, though we disagree on many issues. Mostly her positions are cookie-cutter lines from the Dems in DC. She didn't handle some questions well in my opinion, either not answering or going way off the topic.
The biggest gaffe was in her response to immigration, where she talked about terrorism and said the big problem is the southern border. I responded by noting that the 9/11 terrorists came across the northern border. This was also our biggest policy disagreement. She called for closing the borders while I favored open immigration.
Overall she was quite pleasant. We chatted briefly after and she remained a good person.
