Klobuchar in N.H.: To Beat Trump, Dems Need Positive Message and Some Humor

By Jason Moon Jul 20, 2019
Minnesota Senator and presidential candidate Amy Klobuchar pitched herself as an experienced moderate during a series of campaign stops in New Hampshire over the weekend.
At an event at the home of former Democratic state senator Peter Burling in Cornish, Klobuchar told the crowd that candidates for president shouldnt make promises they cant keep.
"Especially after they've lived through a president whose lies literally litter the carpeting of the Oval Office."
When asked about how she would defeat Donald Trump in a general election, Klobuchar talked about her success winning many of the same districts in Minnesota that Trump flipped in 2016.

"I have won in those Donald Trump rural and suburban districts. I have won every place, every race, every time. I have won Michelle Bauchmans district. I have won districts that Donald Trump won by over 20 points."...............................

OP
I've always been impressed by Klobuchar, but not sure should be in the #1 spot.

A VP position for her could sway a lot votes in the Midwest, I think.
I know Biden/Klobuchar sounds too bland/colorless for some -- but heck, I think I'd rather see Harris as AG (with a remit to track down ALL the corruption in 45's cabinet) anyway, and Warren at Treasury. Biden/Warren would put two East Coast "liberals" (I know, I know) on the ticket, which wouldn't be greeted with a lot of enthusiasm in some parts of the country.
