but her tweet indicates "big announcement."

Which is it?


Trump's announcements are all "YUGE"!

She is brilliant, she is grounded and measured, and she is a serious person.

One way or the other, I hope she is in some way on the ticket in 2020.

Her page says "Paid for by AFA, Inc." - Maybe that stands for something like "Amy for America" - you think?

Is Amy Klobuchar too likable?

It will be something like: "Why does she have such a sunny disposition? Is there something wrong with her?"

lol!

So far, any combination of Klobuchar/Harris would suit me just fine.

I think she has a good shot at VP at minimum if she makes a good showing and might just win the entire thing.

There must one or two left who are contemplating staying in the Senate.

If I hear that John P. Wintergreen is running, I'm going on sabbatical until New Year's Day, 2021.

Vice President.

whoever the presidential candidate is.

She would be hard to beat.

I think she is extremely sincere.

Meanwhile, I don't even have to watch the video. Just take a screen capture from the OP. It could be a campaign poster all by itself. It is the definition of class and likability. And also great instincts, to use that background.

Beto and Klobuchar are a cut above, IMO

If our candidate can't survive the Trump onslaught and especially the socialism theme, then none of our issues matter. They'll be on the shelf.

it's like rating them 1A, 1B, 1C etc.

Being in Iowa with relatives in Minnesota I have watched their senators with a lot of jealousy over the past couple of years. Klobuchar is very good.

Harris is very good.
Warren is very good.
Brown is very good.
Booker is very good.
Etc.

it's really an embarrassment of riches

By far the best candidate IMO. So far anyway.

She would mop the floor with Trump. Now who would be her perfect VP pick.

I still haven't made up my mind; we have some VERY good candidates. But Amy would make a great president.

As one of her constituents I'm not quite convinced yet. She's been improving lately, but her history as a senator for MN has mostly been one of avoiding conflict, promoting feel-good legislation, and wishy-washiness on controversial issues. I'm going to sit back and watch for awhile before getting on her (or anybody else's) bandwagon. I also hope she gets staff people who are more helpful and less rude than the ones she has now.

her voting record in the senate is somewhere in the middle of Senate Democrats in terms of how progressive it is - so, she might have trouble getting votes in the primaries when you have Harris, Booker, Gillebrand and Warren already in the race, and Sanders and Brown as possibilities and all more liberal than her in terms of voting records.

That said, the six I mentioned above could split the progressive vote and leave the more moderate Democrats to Klobuchar

I think she and Gillibrand are going to have a tough time gaining traction, unless the field doesn't continue to expand, which it will.

She probably would do as much for that combination as anyone outside Biden.

I know this isn't necessarily popular, but she's so girl next door!

...when they want to announce they're not running?

no thanks.

to vote for Democrats - any Democrats. So in this case I don't think his endorsement is the kiss of death.

is at least two women debating each other. Yes, I know that it has happened in statewide races before, but the Presidential nominating process has the media spotlight on it in a much more severe way.

I've understood that men want to go out of their way to not be seen as bullies in a debate with a female candidate (OK, Trump was an exception) but what will it look like when three or four females go at each other without such reservations? Will they all do so in a way that elevates the debate, or will it just look like a catfight?

Before you answer, reflect for a moment that Sen. Gillibrand will be on that debate stage, and she's shown that she will go for the jugular even against a fellow Democratic officeholder. Sen. Harris is well versed in the art of needing to look tough, given her legal experience. And, if she's still in the race by then, Sen. Warren has shown that she will persist, even if it is beating a dead horse.

Is Sen. Klobuchar going to look like she's rising above all of that? Or will she be perceived as lacking something because she's not willing to enter the fray?

When male politicians get into intense debates they're just intensely debating, but when women do it, it's a catfight? Really?

Be assured that Trumpsters will be guaranteed to portray it as such, it's all a matter of whether the folks who are undecided agree with them.

Something new is about to occur for the first time, I'm just projecting the possible spin on it.

Glad to see she is getting in the race.

Seriously. I'm not kidding.

But Al Franken sure likes her.
I mean, how bad could she be, eh??




OK, I'll do my due diligence.
Everybody here seems to love her.

That says a lot.

Any of the Democrats will have better policies than trump. That's a given. It will be hard for trump to demean her like he does everyone else.

There's balance, there's brains, there's sophistication, there's gravitas.

This may be the tonic needed in a post-Trump dystopia.

It's a crowded field but she deserves to be a player. May the best Democrat win!

she fares with the others. So far she’s one of my top two choices.
