As part of the Governor's press conference for his Senate pick, Senator Schumer took to the floor and said Gillibrand's views will "evolve" to better reflect New York. This isn't a guarantee, but it does show she can be persuaded. Schumer also mentioned a Listening Tour for Gillibrand to hear the interests of Downstate New York:

Schumer

Quote:
Now, I know that there are certain issues on which Kirsten and I disagree. Perhaps the starkest contrast is on guns … I come from Brooklyn, Kirsten represents a very rural district upstate that includes no large cities. I’m confident that as Kirsten … her views will evolve to reflect the whole state. This is naturally part of the process. When I was a congressman from Brooklyn, I opposed all agricultural subsidies. As senator, I came to sympathize with the struggles of upstate New York farmers and began to advocate for them. … So in conclusion, my fellow New Yorkers, my fellow Americans, this is a crucial time for our state and for our nation. There are massive challenges and tough times ahead.
Quote:
“I say to Kirsten, while she’s talking to the president, let’s do our own listening tour, let’s go to Bayside and Bed-Stuy, to Tottenville and Eastchester. … I’m confident that just as when upstate got to know Hillary they came to love her, downstate will feel the same way for you,”
The video link from C-Span. Schumer starts talking on the 38 minute mark and the "evolve" remark starts on the 47 minute mark.

It's a silver lining, for sure, but the situation can be salvaged.

That was a good video, i can see her supporting dream or some sort of cir. She even said she knows President Obama will provide good leadership on immigration.

Btw, the reporters are dumbasses, even ted kennedy would have told them he's against amnesty.
