Amy Klobuchar supporters on DU have been nothing but

[Happyhippychick]

classy.

Best of luck to your candidate, I like her a lot.

❤️

[DrToast]

1. Thank you!

She’s been my pick since day 1. I changed to Buttigieg for a while, but came back to my first choice.

[Happyhippychick]

2. I really like her and Bloomberg. And Pete. And, and, and...

[krissey]

3. Agree and like Amy too.

[TheCowsCameHome]

4. She is classy.

I hope she has a spot at the top of the Dem ticket.

[still_one]

5. Absolutely agree

[mcar]

6. Happy to kick this

[squirecam]

7. Let's go Amy

Nt

[rzemanfl]

29. Wow, 182 posts since around noon EST yesterday.

Aren't you tired?

[blm]

8. ✔️

[Demsrule86]

9. AA voters will go for Bloomberg if Biden falls according to MSNBC.

[KewlKat]

12. That's per Joy Reid and the folks she talks with.

[Demsrule86]

17. Exactly, I am listening.

[jberryhill]

24. We interrupt this thread for an important non-sequitur

[Amimnoch]

87. ROFL.. damn it you made me spill my coffee.

I will definitely be borrowing this one.

[ramen]

100. Really? Ol' Stop-and-frisk?

Can anyone speak to why? I don't understand that at all.

[Wounded Bear]

10. Early results are promising...

She's been showing up in 2d/3d in some early returns. That would be enough for her to survive another cycle or two.

[TomSlick]

11. Agreed.

[Demsrule86]

13. Hearing that Black voters have issues with both Amy and Pete in terms of criminal justice...so

they could win in New Hampshire but lose in Carolina...Sanders not even on the map with AA voters...via Joy. New Numbers...Sanders only 5% ahead of Pete...Buttigieg and Klobachar are cancelling out each other which helps Sanders...but I still say not good for Sanders (my opinion). Joy says AA voters will vote for Joe in Carolina but if he fails...they will go to Bloomberg because he can get Trump out...none of the candidates have their heart (Joe has their affection) but they will vote with their head.

[oldsoftie]

18. "because he can get Trump out". THAT needs to be the SOLE focus.

And i'm onboard for it

[Demsrule86]

20. I will do the same thing...if Biden fails, I will move to Bloomberg. If he can get AA votes, I am

on board...none of the other candidates have much or any.

[hangaleft]

37. I'm with Bloomberg if Liz drops out

[Happyhippychick]

40. Yes, that's my top priority, get his orange butt out!!!!!!

[a kennedy]

93. Lotsa African American talking heads say the same thing as Joy......

if Biden doesn’t make it, most AA’s will go to Bloomberg because he can beat tRump.

[MFGsunny]

14. She deserves a great spot in a DEM administration if she's not on the ticket.

[Demsrule86]

21. No, Senators are needed in the Senate...OK?

[MFGsunny]

30. Of course, Democratic Senators are needed in the Senate.

But we would have all the confidence needed that Gov. Tim Waltz (D-MN) would appoint a Dem to replace her. We also have to nurture Democratic succession planning!

[Mike Nelson]

15. Amy is a fine candidate...

... not surprised her supporters are classy. Looks like a good night for Amy!

[Demsrule86]

23. Looks like Buttigieg will come in second.

[oldsoftie]

16. Yes, this sudden pounding of Amy is silly & embarrassing.

[doc03]

19. I started out as a Klobuchar supporter then declared for Biden. I am on the edge of dropping

Biden and going back to klobuchar. That comment the other day he made about pony soldier makes me think he
is losing it, just weird. I am starting to think he is just too old.

[Demsrule86]

22. Just like Pete she has no AA vote.

[squirecam]

63. We will see

As she gets more opportunities, more and more people like her.

[NRaleighLiberal]

25. I've been bouncing between Amy and Elizabeth. Like them both

very much.

[hangaleft]

39. Because they're women?

[NRaleighLiberal]

81. because I like their policies, messages and approaches

[yaesu]

26. I've always liked her, she tells it like it is. nt

[nolabear]

27. I may change to Amy. I like her more all the time.

[dchill]

28. Yep.

[apcalc]

31. She'll kick Trump's ass with firm and fair niceness. And humor. She won't take BS from that loser.

She’s classy but has grit. My kind of girl!

[mollie8]

88. I think so too.

Saw her during the Kavanaugh hearings. She asked him if he was an alcoholic and he jumped at her saying, "Are you an alcoholic?" He was totally out of line, but she calmly replied calmly and respectfully. Classy lady.

[mopinko]

103. her sense of humor is big for me. we need to laugh at this asshole.

[Hekate]

32. A "happy warrior," like Hubert Humphrey

I do like her.

[apcalc]

33. +1

And her Minnesota voters will follow her to the end. They like her and trust her.

[Hekate]

72. Good gravy. I said nothing like that. Just pass on by if you can't take a nice comment about someone

[geralmar]

75. Obviously historical humor goes unrecognized on this site.

I'd like to see her on the ticket.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

34. On tv yes

[Happyhippychick]

35. And here!

[Laura PourMeADrink]

46. Sorry, made the mistake of reading about the office. Not a

100% deal breaker but close to it for me, sorry. Each of us has our own thing that bothers the hell out of us, this is mine.

[apcalc]

54. Oh yes the office. Early Huffpost kneecapping of anyone but Sanders /Warren.

Today they did it to Biden.

Meanwhile, positive accounts are out there from her coworkers.

I don’t give a rat’s ass either way. Stories are out there about others too. Even your guy has some bad history. We pick and choose.

Anyone but Trump.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

60. New York times, BuzzFeed and huff post.

If it doesn't bother you that's 100% fine. Like I said, each of us have a different lens and different things we accept or are turned off by.

[apcalc]

62. And it is ALL THE SAME ARTICLE.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

64. Nope. NYT reviewed interviews of dozens and emails.. And proven fact

Highest turnover of staff.

But, will repeat again. If it doesn't bother you..that's fine !! Not here to bash whatsoever. People can read it all and make their own decisions.

[apcalc]

67. I read all three you cited days ago. The binder, the comb, blah blah.

My opinion is it is all the same article, nothing new from one article to the other.

Btw, I would have also eaten my salad with a comb-damn resourceful!. And would have told the aide to clean it. who wants to eat salad with their hands , or put a dirty comb back in their purse?

Whatthefuckever. Your guy berated Anita Hill IN PUBLIC and we have Clarence Thomas today because of him in part.

Gimme a break.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

68. Yes same interviews and emails from her and dozens on staff.

[apcalc]

73. Anita Hill . Clarence Thomas . They all have baggage.

I’ll stick with my gal for now.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

77. Go for it !

[democrattotheend]

95. I agree with you

How a candidate treats his/her staff is pretty important to me, because it says a lot about who they are as a person and how genuine they are in fighting for workers' rights. This is a turn-off about Amy for me, but since it seems there's been little turnover or turmoil on her campaign staff so far, I'm hoping she's taken the criticism to heart and things have changed. FWIW, I also read testimonials from other people who worked for her in the past that were much more positive. But I agree with you that it is a legitimate thing to care about.

[proud patriot]

36. Agreed

[empedocles]

38. Amy is great. Really, all the candidates supporters on DU have been good, except . . .

[Drahthaardogs]

41. I think she is going to be the nominee

Just a feeling.

[ibegurpard]

42. I have yet to wrap my head around

The early stories about her being an abusive boss. They seemed so overblown. Where did they come from is what I'd like to know.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

47. Ya, we'll go back and read again.

[pazzyanne]

56. My question would be, "Where did those stories go?" nt

[ibegurpard]

57. I want to know where they came from

Im sure they'll be back. They seemed completely out of proportion to my opinion of her viability as a candidate at the time. And she is now showing she could be a contender.

[pazzyanne]

59. That, too!

Amy does have her share of bots on her Facebook page. I always check for the constituent flag when reading comments there. It is amazing how many negative comments come from outside of Minnesota. Makes me go, hmmm.

[apcalc]

74. Yeah....where did they come from...I have ideas.

[check077]

79. I had a fateful feeling when did she her announcement...

Now to see how she performing means she has some kind of connection with our nation as far as her political campaign.

[musicblind]

43. They truly have.

Her supporters make me like her more.

[Happyhippychick]

45. Yes. Obnoxious supporters turn me off of a candidate completely!

[relayerbob]

65. THIS

[elias7]

44. Thank you!!

We try...

[Awsi Dooger]

48. Hosting debate watching parties for many years helped me isolate Amy

Her style and personality are exactly the combo that people in my living room would react to favorably.

I wish that were more widely recognized, especially among female candidates. Very easy to tell who will fare well with swing voters among female candidates. Considerably more complicated with the men.

[AverageJoe]

49. Klobuchar would be a strong nominee

I admire her knowledge, confidence and grace. I believe she could beat trump.

[Codeine]

50. Agreed.

Genuinely good supporters of a genuinely good candidate.

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

51. Cheers!

[Ellen Forradalom]

52. I'm new to Team Amy

Thank you.

[DesertRat]

80. Welcome aboard!

[IluvPitties]

53. Indeed. I wish people just allowed the process to work

instead of posting crap about why people need to drop out.

[BlueMTexpat]

86. + a million or so! eom

[H2O Man]

55. Recommended.

[pazzyanne]

58. Have always appreciated the job Amy does for her constituents!

Have followed her and voted for her since her first campaign. She gets the job done.

[grantcart]

61. I live Amy

[Music Man]

66. Now that you mention it, you're absolutely right. And it's a great point.

Amy's supporters have always been gracious, intelligent, thoughtful people. Not pushy, and very kind.

You can judge a lot about a person by the company they keep. Amy's upstanding campaign and the people who tend to be attracted to it say a lot about who she is.

[Mopar151]

82. Amy does'nt set off fight or flight in actual conservatives

Our statewide paper, the Union Leader, had driven wedges between Birchers and decent, thrifty folk for decades, which reached it's apex in the reign of error of Mel Thomson, an ethically deficient Georgian who stole his employer's customer lists to start Equity Publishing. He spent the next few years disguising himself as old New England money.
I've heard very conservative old men speak of him through clenched teeth "Raise my taxes a grand a year? Cheap money to be rid the tinpot asshole! The flag bullshit, and South africa, and now he wants Nukes for the Guard" "Learned my lesson from that TJ prick. I can't afford a man who can lose more in an hour, than i can make in a week"

Granite Staters can check off a lot of boxes with Amy, She's deliberately not flashy. She gets "respect" right, far better than most, which is important in a place where motorcycle gangs rub elbows with some of the country's oldest summer resorts. "Like Ridin in a picture postcard, everyday!" The gadflies of NH are worse than the evil black ones, and she looks like she can keep them from bothering decent folk excessively. Thrifty and careful make a lot of genuine conservatives happy. Waste in the service of bullshit doesn't fly with guys like SoS Gardener (He's a world-class-jerk IRL. His Political staff ain't so nice.). He rounded up the prominent "BIRTHERS" (Stretch Kennedy, et al) and chewed them a whole brand new lower GI tract for making "HIS" primary look bad, and annoying the shit out of his staff. Not to mention wasting the time he had to spend reaming them. They damm well needed it. We Proudly remain hand marked paper ballots . Mr. Bill says " You cannot hack a pencil". I think the Federal Election Comission needs him' cuz reamin!

[phleshdef]

70. I've been sour on her after the stories about abusing her staff but she is growing on me a lil bit.

[whttevrr]

71. She seems honest and caring. I like her.

Listening now.

I think she would be a good President.

[chillfactor]

76. That is so true.....

they model the behavior of Amy herself.

[calimary]

78. I like her, too.

She reads practical and grounded. And date I say it - presidential. A grownup.l, for a change! Fancy that!

A steady hand ready to take the wheel.

I could easily vote for her.

[Mopar151]

83. I think My Man Pete would benefit from VP Amy ,

And vice versa. The Church Ladies can make their own optics, to suit, and they quite liked Phil and Joe's ceremony last summer. Chase reminds them of Cousin Wilmer the math teacher.

[58Sunliner]

84. Go Amy!!!!

[BlueMTexpat]

85. I agree.

And congratulations to her and her supporters!

[Fla Dem]

89. Haven't completely made my mind up yet, but Amy's at the top of my choices.

[joost5]

91. ✔️

Thank you. A candidate's leadership style seems to define how surrogates behave as well. Drumpf's cabal of morally depraved flying monkeys will come after us all so I'd crawl over broken glass to vote for ANY D (except Tulsi).

[Anonymous Bosh]

92. She's rising!

[MontanaMama]

94. Kick.

I really like Amy and of course, will vote blue no matter who. I think she can beat the tar out of the orange MF.

[Progressive2020]

96. I Like Amy

I like her over Biden, I like her over Mayor Pete. I think Biden has been around Washington too long, and Pete has not been around long enough. Amy is in the middle, in a good way. She has experience as a Senator, but is a relatively fresh face in national politics. She is also smart, tough, funny, and well-spoken. She seems to be able to think on her feet. Good qualities for a President and a candidate. Anyway, I hope that her campaign gets a lot of money and donations. I hope that she goes the distance. I am still undecided, but I definitely like Amy.

[erlewyne]

97. She is going to be our next president

It is Kentucky Derby time and she is coming down the back stretch 3-2-1.

I am voting Blue.

I listened to her and she makes sense. I like Warren and Sanders and wondered
who the hell Klobuchar was? I listened to her and was impressed.

I love my democrats, you.

[LNM]

98. Thank you!

[jimlup]

99. I could get on the Klobuchar plane if it seems to have wings

but I'm waiting to see what else will happen. We vote the week after Super Tuesday (Michigan) so
things will be dramatically different by then I expect.

[lees1975]

101. I've been following Klobuchar

Since she started making appearances on behalf of the party on MSNBC. She is classy, she is smart, she knows what she is doing and she would make a great President. And the good news is, like it is for most Democratic presidential candidates, she beats trump in head to head polling.

[berksdem]

102. Thank You!

I am excited for Amy to get a bit of coverage. She is awesome!

[brush]

104. Agreed, unlike some others, who shall remain nameless but everyone knows who they are.
