(42,446 posts)36. she is the one who has been having a go for weeks, so sorry, not buying this
and why do you keep bringing this bogus projection of sexism into of a simple critique of temperament
Pete caught her in a flat out falsehood
she walked right into it
Klobuchar completely flipped her percentage of voting for Trump judges and tried to say PETE lied. She DID vote to approve 2/3rds of the Trump judges, she did, not, as she claimed oppose 2/3rds
She claimed

After Buttigieg criticized Klobuchar for voting to confirm too many Trump judges, Klobuchar tersely responded, "I have opposed, not supported, two-thirds of the Trump judges, so get your numbers right."
well sorry
but Pete was right
she was wrong
but Pete was right
she was wrong
Amy Klobuchar Keeps Voting for Trumps Horrific Judges
In the most recent congressional session, Klobuchar voted to confirm nearly two-thirds of President Trumps judicial nominees.

point to Pete
Post debate she claimed that PETE has been targeting her in the past several debates. Pure tosh, She has been going after him for weeks/months, a bit like Gabbard targeted Harris over and over, and Harris herself went after Biden. I do not think she has the temperament necessary for the Oval Office. If mild Pete makes your anger flash (and flash after SHE started it up all again, the same as she has done in the past few debates) to the point that so many people on here (and not at all just limited to us Pete folk) plus many of the presenters on the post debate shows, then what about the looming 8000 pound gorilla of Trump, who is the dirtiest, lying, cheap-shotting scumbag bully in POTUS history? There is zero sexism involved in that positing. I would say the exact same thing of any male candidate who exhibits similar traits.
If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

YES. That was the moment that I thought was worst for her, because nothing would play better...

completely disagree, Amy lost her cool as many on multiple threads (and not just Pete supporters)

LOL, temperament is not gender dictated, and as a woman myself, I find that sexist charge to what is

bollocks, you are playing semantic games, plus injecting your own sexism by applying 'smarmy'

might be a cultural thing, I am US-born but London raised, it is most often applied to women
