WASHINGTON - U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar pitched her “heartland” credentials and disputed that she was not liberal enough to win the Democratic nomination for president in a Wednesday town hall on the Fox News channel, a network that targets conservatives.

“I am a proven progressive. The last time I checked, if you want to be a progressive and support progressives, then you have to make progress,” Klobuchar said when asked why liberal voters in her party should support her candidacy. Klobuchar has also not opted to join the liberal wing of her party in backing the Green New Deal, a loose package of environmental proposals.

She “sees a chance for someone from the Midwest to make a play in the battleground states, including Iowa, Michigan and Wisconsin,” Manley said.

She won't take a strong stand on environmental protections. That is not a pragmatic position at this point in human history.

Forcing a subordinate to shave your legs isn’t demeaning and gross, it’s just being practical, says Amy.

She is in the top three of 'çandidates with silly names'. 1. Buttigieg 2. Hickenlooper 3. Klobuchar Close race!

Letsss Go Amy

Sanders pushes back against Biden's claim he's the 'most progressive' candidate in the Democratic fieldSen. Bernie Sanders pushed back against former Vice President Joe Biden's claim that he has 'the most progressive record' of any candidate in the Democratic presidential field, citing Biden's votes as a member of the U.S. Senate as evidence that his views were not always in line with Biden saying he is the 'most progressive' candidate in the field is just like Trump saying he is the 'least racist' person ever. Sanders voted on the gun lobby & NRA side on a 2005 Gun Law. Sanders also doesn’t see women as major players in his 2016 political campaign. THAT’S not progressive. unbelievable hysterics.......two old white men arguing over who is a bigger kiss ass to the hard left progressives.....the optics is full on moronic....

Gun control takes center stage in 2020 Democratic presidential raceU.S. Senator Cory Booker on Monday released a sweeping plan to curb gun violence... Not a winning issue for Dems Ofcourse it does..... just one step closer to a socialist authoritarian utopia where only the authorities are armed. It may not be the most important issue but it can help as long as we don't allow industry & lobbyists to control the narrative. Gun violence is exceptionally common in US and reasonable gun control measures like closing background check loopholes poll well even among gun owners.

Michael Bennet of Colorado jumped into the packed Democratic presidential primary on Thursday, announcing a 2020 campaign that had been stalled while he was treated for prostate cancer.
