Klobuchar has positioned herself in the crowded Democratic primary field to be an alternative moderate candidate to former Vice President Joe Biden, the front-runner according to most recent polls. Buttigieg has similarly also cast himself as a pragmatic alternative to Biden and progressive front-runners, Senators Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders, and is currently polling higher than the Minnesota Democrat.
Klobuchar on Sunday went on to tell CNN host Jake Tapper that she is more qualified than Buttigieg because unlike him, she has"actually won in a statewide race." "I'm the one from the Midwest that's actually won in a statewide race over and over again," she said."Those are the kind of voters I've won and that's not true of Mayor Pete."reached out to Buttigieg's campaign for comment, but did not receive a response in time for publication.poll, released last week, Klobuchar pulled in 2 percent of votes compared to Buttigieg's roughly 9 percent.
Klobuchar went on to criticize former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg for potentially entering the already-crowded 2020 race."I certainly welcome Mayor Bloomberg to the race. He's done incredible work on gun safety, on environmental issues. And it is work of merit," she told Tapper.
Sen. Amy Klobuchar attends during a full committee hearing on"Aviation Safety and the Future of Boeing's 737 MAX" on Capitol Hill October 29, 2019 in Washington,DC.
Neither of you really have a chance at being the Democratinominee
Stay classy amyklobuchar Stay classy!
I disagree with amyklobuchar & think PeteButtigieg has the aptitude to be a very successful POTUS. Pete’s demeanor makes him a slightly more appealing candidate. I like both Amy & Pete, they both bring something different. Pete’s persona is Obama like & that’s his appeal.
Or is it because he’s so incredibly smart (he reads, writes, speaks 7 languages) or because he’s so brave (he’s a veteran) or because he has experience ( he’s a mayor)
Good for her on an accurate call out. The guy's a gimp, and she's right. He's playing the 'good ole gay guy' card. And that's all he's really got.
She is right.
[...] amyklobuchar supporting The Prayer Breakfast : - anti abortion - anti LGBTQ - pro Uganda gays criminalization - ant women equality - anti anti-bullying - anti racial equality - pro lobbyist - pro Russia / election interference (Mueller report)
She’s right.
Except that he speaks intelligently and thoughtfully.
Very True

Don’t worry, Pete has no chance
Would a woman with Trump’s experience stand a chance?
True that. Just like a man with HillaryClinton résumé would have crushed Trump
Someone is scared he may win the nomination!
Well I hope the two of them together can represent a ticket! Don’t care which one is first but both of them are powerhouses and can win!
He's the only electible candidate dems have in 2020
©- Oh, good.
The same could have been said 3yrs ago abt trump!
He communicates very well
Ok, it's time HRC supporters in 2016 begin speaking up the Dem WOMEN in this primary race!! I am finishing an Op-Ed I pray will make it to big paper, as it explores this, Plus dueling feelings as a journalist & former State Dept person! ( Sadly, A target for realDonaldTrump )
The whiny excuses of a bad candidate. The party nominated Hillary Clinton last time and Elizabeth Warren is a top contender this time. But nominating contests are not resume-measuring contests. Performance matters. Klobuchar has the charisma of a wet mop, that's her problem.
Hummm
So many young women support Pete.
This is not a path she should be going down. The American people have been receptive to Pete Buttigieg. He is extremely intelligent and is articulate above many of the other candidates. I doubt I will vote for him but he belongs.

Of course, women are always held to a different standard. Imagine if Hillary were president and she tweeted like Trump everyday, she would have been crucified.
webertom1 She ain’t wrong.
She's correct
She has a point. A mayor from a small town, and has no record of statewide politics. Even with his current popularity, It would be a dead heat for Governor. Yet, he's running for President? And there are some that said Hillary Clinton didn't have the experience? GTFOH.
Marianne Williamson doesn’t have ANY political experience yet she’s been on the debate stage. So you swung for the fence and missed on this one
His experience as a vet, scholar and mayor exceeds hers for what we need from a President. Still I find Kamala Harris the candidate that has all the factors I think are needed, with Pete being a damn good VP selection.
Hag.
How the hell is this woman considered a unifying candidate?
amyklobuchar you’re just not a good candidate for president. It’s not that you’re a woman, your policy is weak as hell.
There are men with more experience than Buttigieg who are also not doing well.
