. “And there are still times in politics,” she wrote, “when I ask myself: ‘Would that have happened to me if I was a man?’”“In a purple state,” I continued.“Who had passed over a hundred bills,” she interjected with a trace of an edge. “Who does pretty good on stump speeches. And in the debates. Especially those last three …”“You know,” she said, clearly reluctant to attach actual words to what she equally clearly was conveying, “I don’t know.
“I’m not sure if all the white males would vote for a woman,” Pat Saunders, 69, said at the community college in Fort Dodge. She told me she’s undecided, mentioning Klobuchar, and Joe Biden, too. “I’m not sure,” she added. “Those old white guys? They aren’t going to listen to a woman.” What I heard from the voters I talked to was mounting angst and indecision. That Sanders and Elizabeth Warren are too far to the left. That Biden is too old. That Pete Buttigieg is too young. That Tom Steyer has too much money. I heard them yearn for a candidate who was just right, squarely in the middle, in the middle of the age range, and of the political spectrum, and of the country itself.
,” she said. “And I think Amy, she speaks directly, and I think that’s really good, and I like her very much,” said Kenning, 69. She paused. I waited for the. “I think because of Hillary,” she continued, referring to Clinton’s 2016 defeat, “I am very frightened about what will happen.” She told me she’s undecided, but it sure sounded like she was leaning toward Biden. “He’s kind, and he’s good, and he’s brave,” she said. She called the prospect of caucusing for him “logical.
Are we forgetting Clinton won the popular vote in 2016? The whole premise of this article is false. Don't let facts get in the way of a biased opinion. If you are only polling at 6% your problem isn't only 'old white men' which is offensive in itself. She simply has no charisma.
She reportedly treats her staff like crap.
Moderate is code word for more of the same. We don't need no stinking moderate. BernieBeatsTrump
Bernie is a better candidate, as is Liz. Mainly.
We are not nervous about Amy. We are nervous about dtrump!
See the difference? Politico is smearing Bernie and hyping Klobuchar.
What does the article have to do with the headline? It doesn’t answer the question. It suggests it is because she is a woman, but then what explains ewarren or HillaryClinton in 2016. Being a centrist Dem is not enough. Ask GovernorBullock or MichaelBennet
Her personality is horrible.
She also voted for many of Trump's judicial appointees.
People are stupid - what else explains thinking that we can double Government spending when the country is bankrupt with a trillion dollar budget deficit and a $23 trillion national debt
She's a Republican! That's what!
“Moderate.”
But Iowa doesn't represent the Party or even the USA.
Apparently Bernie hasn’t told her yet that a Woman can’t win the election.
Uh her record is terrible and she has the personality of a brick wall
She throws office supplies at people
She’s been abusive of people around her, I think it came back to haunt her.
Stop try to make Klobuchar happen . If she was gonna win , she’d be at least over 10% by now
Good question.
People too concerned with Style over Substance. She should be a, if not the, top candidate. Proven track record, practical ideas, etc.
Its the salad incident on the airliner
she's not going to be the nominee?
Ask Amy about her working with a mining company in MN and what they wanted to do to the environment.
Loving the new video! Winning
Maybe the fact that she's the most absentee voter among senators? I dunno, could be an issue.
?
Her HAIR shakes while at debates!!! Her HAIR!
She's a moderate. A centrist running on the dying notion that the system is fine and tweaks around the edges are good enough. She should drop out.
No thanks, Klobuchar is entangled with corruptions and religion.
I don’t think I can listen to that voice of hers for 4 years without losing my mind.
The. Voters want Trump not another democrat
She is my Senator and I have proudly voted for her. She has worked her butt off for our state. I know ppl who are on her staff. From all they report, she is a no nonsense intelligent hard working public servant. But that doesn’t play well on the national stage if you’re a woman.
I would find it extremely difficult to vote for someone who throws things at staffers when she is angry....in fact, I would find it impossible....
Your shady business dealings politico. Stop digging your own grave. That's my advise hombre.
She’s like 5th...... how is that doing well? She probably won’t even get past the 15% threshold..... politico is trash
Lol, she has no platform or ideas. That’s what is holding her back.
Luckily twitter commentators don’t represent a cross section of voters
Trump’s treason? The GOP complicity and silence? Climate change? Trump’s lies? Selling our military? Sharpie revisionism? Deripaska in KY? That’s a short list.
Here real problem Amy K. She tell false statements like all Dem's do. She doesn't see things for what really are. An plans really not work able for country and people
What's wrong with Democrats? Amy Klobuchar?
Nothing worrying me.
Her disability policy is crap, that's what. CripTheVote
She’s not a moderate.
The media is trying to force her on Dems....just stop!
Lacks vision
She is a woman. Democrat voters figure if the woman who was the “most qualified ever” could not win, then none can.
Literally everything about her
As Sanders, Biden and Warren engage in a circular firing squad, Klobuchar gets little press.
No one supports her except you guys in the media.
Can't speak for anyone but myself, but it's her environmental positions - pro- the Glencore mine, pro-shooting wolves.
Her voting record on Trump judges!
How about her voting for McConnel Judges? or supporting a Sulfide Mine (pushed by Trump) in Minnesota that threatens the Lake Superior Watershed and Boundary Waters?
Well, her message seems to be a combination of “no we can’t” and “I’m from the Midwest”. Not exactly inspirational, sadly (it’s a shame she decided to go this route cause she’s been a good senator)
There are NO moderates on the left. Give me a break. She’s an ill mannered do-nothing.
Corporate media as campaign surrogates!
The same reason Biden is struggling to remain at 1 despite the media working 24/7 to push him as the winner. We can see through it.
Lack of recognition & 💰
Money
Flying binders
Middle of the road is an awkward place to be at this point in the race to the edges. Later on it could be valuable, but there’s still too many candidates.
poshitico is here with your daily Santorum
How about that she’s abusive to her own staff? No wants an abuser and power tripper like that! Assault and maltreatment of staff -why is this white woman getting a pass on that?
Her own staff hates her so that's probably not good.
She’s boring and lukewarm. When I think of change and progress, Amy Klobuchar is the last candidate I think of.
My opinion amyklobuchar needs to come out hard on climate change (resonates with young voters) and the ballooning 1 trillion deficits (resonates with older voters). The rest of us are BlueNoMatterWho
Too bad she won't be able to campaign because of the impeachment trial. Nancy Pelosi has chosen to side with the billionaires instead. Evidently the payola is much higher for her.
the word moderate is literally in the tweet. Asked and Answered.
Unlikeable demeanor, garbage centrism, and fawning media coverage all creating resentment. Not that hard.
Misogyny. Lather, rinse, repeat.
Her existence
She would be perfect. But, she is a woman and I don't think America is ready for a woman yet. Sigh.
Lmfao she’s no moderate. Far left liberal
She's bland and uninspiring. That being said I still prefer her over Biden and will vote for her if she should win the nomination over the tangerine tyrant. I won't be excited about it though.
Tripe
Define moderate. Klobuchar is a corporate democrat, a beloved of the health care industrial complex, which is based in her home state of MN. This is why she faced no meaningful opposition from either party in her last election.
Who? Oh this person is still around? Insignificant at this point
