it's time for a woman to lead, men have been in charge long enough

I watched some of it this morning, and that's my takeaways. I'll watch the rest this evening. I don't have cable.

Here's a good summary from an analysis/opinion piece about it:

At a CNN town hall with voters here on Monday night, the Minnesota Democrat offered few sugar-coated promises on causes that have become popular among the party's progressive base. Instead, she gave detail-laden answers about why there are no easy fixes to these challenges, despite what they might hear from other Democrats.

With her presidential campaign only eight days old, Klobuchar is testing the balance between pragmatism and purity, while resisting the urge to pander to the party's progressive wing. https://www.cnn.com/2019/02/18/politics/klobuchar-pragmatic-approach/index.html


She'll go for the moderate spot in this race. Harris and Warren are taking the left.
