Klobuchar says she'll beat Trump in the mid-West

As a concentrated bombardment of Democrats descend upon New Hampshire, Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar wants to stick out to voters. She says what makes her different is she’s a winner.

“I am someone that wins. I have won every single race I have ever taken on. I have won in every single red Congressional district. I even won my first race ever – for the student council,” said Klobuchar at a Concord event on Monday.

Voters packed into the sunlit downtown lobby of Shaheen & Gordon Law Firm to listen to Klobuchar. Among them were Pam and Bill Mueller from Hopkinton, who weren’t wearing the green “Amy for America” stickers displayed by most of the crowd. The Muellers were focused on winning, too.

“We have to change the person sitting in the White House immediately, if not sooner,” said Bill Mueller after listening to Klobuchar. “The person who can do that with reasonable policy is the person I’m going to support.”

while we've been the minority party. She's very much a can-do person, significantly more than Elizabeth Warren even in achieving passed legislation, where ability to reach agreements with others is critical. It makes sense that coming through for them is noted by midwest voters, but hopefully the debates cause others to take a good look at her and be impressed, as with those other candidates who deserve it.

But unfortunately, in a field of over twenty, only a few get to be in the top tier and the rest are destined to follow behind in the pack. Amy hasn't been able to break out of the pack thus far and I doubt that she will. The debates will give her an opportunity, but she'll have to give a stellar performance of which I'm not sure she can do.
