Why not go with Amy Klobuchar as the best bet to beat Trump?
Full disclosure, I was early into the Elizabeth Warren camp. She is probably more to the left than I am, but she always seemed authentic... until she didn't.
The two best things about Klobuchar:
1. Hardly any negatives (so far). About the right age. Decent experience. Not too far to the left. Decent personality. Debates pretty well. Ain't no dummy. Tough enough. Doesn't seem to bring any baggage. Doesn't exactly inspire me, but also doesn't bore the crap out of me.
2. Maybe, being from Minnesota, she runs well in the states we needed last time, like Wisconsin and Michigan.
Pair her up with Corey Booker or Julian Castro. Campaign strategy: "Here's a decent candidate. Let's everybody vote in November and get rid of Trump."
What may have made my up mind was this afternoon, I asked this question to my favorite inside-the-bubble "woke" friend, who gets all her news (and views) carefully curated on her mobile device. She said Klobucar couldn't possibly beat Trump because the Bernie people would just stay home.
If they were to do that, after seeing what happened the past four years, how stupid would they be? (rhetorical question!)
So, why not Klobuchar?
