Watching Amy Klobuchar on Morning Joe

[barbtries]

(i watch it later on youtube)

she's making a good case. I really like her and think she'd make a fine president. so far, still plan on voting for Warren, but I could change my mind.

[katmondoo]

1. I like Amy but still going with Warren

[apcalc]

2. I quite like her. Reasonable. Progressive.

Moderate Republican friends I have like her, think she could get their votes. Warren and Sanders they do not like.
They also like Pete.

[barbtries]

4. that is something to think about

even though i want to vote my gut in the primary, it's something to ponder.
once the nominee is decided it's the democrat, just the democrat.

[FoxNewsSucks]

3. I thought she and Mayor Pete did well this morning.

Yang also, but if they asked him about his intent to pardon MF45, I missed it.

Not changing my mind either, but if Sanders or Warren don't get the nomination, I sure hope either Mayor Pete or Klobuchar does.

[barbtries]

5. i like Amy much more than Pete.

he's really lost his shine for me.

[squirecam]

22. No pardon for Trump

Deal breaker I would think for many Dems thinking of supporting him.

[Dietz]

6. Warren is my second choice

...

[lark]

7. I like her a lot.

Still planning on voting for Joe, but if something happens to him (sure it won't) by the late date of my primary I would definitely consider her. I really like Liz's policies, but my friends who are moderate Dems or left leaning Independents despise her almost as much as they do Bernie, so I have concerns about her potential candidacy.

Still think Joe is the best person to beat drumpf and repug fear of him seems to show this is correct.

[progressoid]

8. She's a great Senator but missing that "wow factor" needed to win the presidency

Yes, that sounds superficial. But the reality is that people need to be inspired and energized. She's Dukakis 2.0

[barbtries]

9. i disagree with that.

her calm demeanor is extremely attractive in my opinion. gawd we could use that as a nation.

[exboyfil]

10. Unfortunately she has to appeal to more than folks like us

Everyone of the Democratic candidates (expect the one(s) who is a stalking horse) would make good presidents. In this day and age you have to also have charisma. Warren has got it (even though I disagree with her on a policy position that I think will cost us Wisconsin) but Klobuchar doesn't have it. I want her to have it. I have backed her for President since the day after the 2016 election. I caucus for her tonight, and I think she can win Wisconsin (which is my litmus test).

[barbtries]

17. I'll be happy if you're right.

Still supporting Warren but like I said it's subject to change.

[phleshdef]

16. Lol, "calm demeanor" my ass

[barbtries]

18. your ass then. nt

[phleshdef]

20. Tell that to the staff members she repeatedly abused.

[apcalc]

28. Not proved. All hearsay. However- that could be good-

don’t think she’d be timid about knocking Rump on his ass.

[phleshdef]

29. She never fully denied it and there are several people that reported it.

They stayed anonymous because she has a history of being vindictive like that.

I'd still vote for her against Trump but I think she would likely lose.

[LAS14]

31. Abused? I only heard that she yelled at him for not remembering something to do with...

... salad and she ate it with her knife.

I eat my peas with honey.
I've done it all my life.
They do taste kind of funny.
But it keeps them on my knife.

[phleshdef]

34. There are reports of her verbally abusing her staff and reports of her throwing objects in their...

...direction. And also reports of her making them do her dishes and laundry, which is honestly a violation of Senate ethics rules.

The salad story you are talking about is a little different. She ate the salad with her comb and made the aid go wash it. If it was just one or two little incidents, it wouldn't be a big deal. But she seems to make a habit of this kind of behavior.

[democrattotheend]

23. They are all missing that "wow factor", IMO

And that's the problem. None of them are that exciting. We need a new Obama and we don't have one.

[phleshdef]

11. She is an abusive boss and has absolutely no charisma.

[apcalc]

30. I believe her " high expectations" are not only tolerated, but

Would likely be celebrated were she male.

[ooky]

12. I think she would make a great president.

At this point I am voting for Joe, but I could change my mind still.

[lostnfound]

13. My two favorites, I think, nt

[Cuthbert Allgood]

14. Policy-wise, I don't understand a Warren to Klobuchar slide.

Warren is strongly left progressive. Klobuchar is much more a centrist.

That being said, I'd be OK voting for her if she comes out of all this as the nominee. Not my preference for a platform, but she's still a liberal and would do great as president.

[phleshdef]

15. Warren isn't an abusive egomaniac with zero appeal.

Warren is my second choice. Klobuchar should drop out already and take anger management counseling.

[squirecam]

25. Your candidate outreach skills

Needs a lot of work.

[phleshdef]

27. Sure, Joe has his flaws but he doesn't abuse and dehumanize his staff in fits of senseless rage.

[squirecam]

32. I didn't say joe

I said you. Your attitude won’t help Joe. It could turn off others. Just like the Sanders supporters.

Joe supporters should be kissing up to Amy’s voters, as they could mean the difference between a win or loss tonight. And in the states that follow.

[phleshdef]

33. My attitude isn't going to do anything. I'm an insignificant anonymous nobody posting online...

...just like everyone else here. My opinions that I share here have zero impact on the world at large.

Its up to Joe and only Joe to make his case to the voters. That isn't my responsibility.

[RhodeIslandOne]

35. You're the one who seems angry.

But go ahead, reply one more time with your nonsense tales.

[phleshdef]

36. How exactly is it nonsense? You can bury your head in the sand all you want.

That won't make the victims of her abusive behavior simply disappear.

And yes, that kind of behavior does make me angry.

[barbtries]

19. yes, and therein lies my dilemma.

I am thinking that Klobuchar can bring the mid-west and get a lot of republicans to vote for her because she speaks their language. I'm voting for the Democrat no matter who, but suddenly instead of sticking to my plan of voting for the one I want, I'm thinking of throwing my vote to someone who I like but also think may have a better shot in the general.

i don't know. i don't know.

[squirecam]

24. She is a strong progressive

[krissey]

21. I like Warren too. I hear this a lot from people supporting either one.

That they could easily vote for the other.

[blm]

26. Warren still. Amy moved up to #2 over the last month.

[Recursion]

37. I like Klobuchar a lot (nt)
