Amy Klobuchar 2020 campaign megathread

if she does poorly in nevada (i.e. no delegates) she should probably drop out, or else she actually ironically hurts the chances of a moderate winning the nomination

Given Warren and Biden are toast, I submit that buttigieg is simply not electable, why should she be the one to drop out are you saying we should rally around Bloomberg?

i said if she does poorly in nevada. in that case her momentum is halted and staying in the race while having single digit support would just take away from the rest of the more viable moderates. she also has no minority support when we're already multiple states in. i'm simply saying that for the moderate wing of the party, it would be in their best interests to rally around a candidate before bernie starts running away with the nomination

My point Remains the Same even if she does poorly in Nevada. At that point Warren and Biden are toast more than ever, buttigieg still remains unelectable in November, and that leaves us by my count.... Bloomberg?

So my question Remains the Same.

I mean, I’d argue Pete’s the most electable candidate and Klobouchar’s electability is highly overrated at best, but here’s what I’ll say: Ohio votes after Super Tuesday, right?  Why not hold off making a decision between Pete and Klobouchar until after Super Tuesday?  If Pete can’t make inroads with Hispanics or African-Americans by then, he’s screwed anyway.  Klobuchar even more so because she lacks his national organization.  Why not see who is more viable after Super Tuesday?

because at that point it won't matter, nearly 40% of the country's delegates will have been awarded. bernie has effectively consolidated the progressive vote with warren's decline, while the moderate vote is all over the place. he's likely to win nevada, which could snowball into SC and absolutely into ST

Okay, but again, that fails to answer my question. At the risk of derailing this thread, who is this mythical moderate uniter candidate that Klobuchar should be withdrawing in favor of? Dead in the Water Biden or Warren? Unelectable Pete? Or the multi-billionaire who backed George W bush for president?

If, and I emphasize if, one accepts the theory that moderates should unite around a single candidate to stop Bernie, who is realistically better than Amy Klobuchar?

i wasn't addressing it lol? anyway, moderates should back the the candidate that appears to have the best chance of beating bernie. it may not necessarily be the candidate you like the most, but you can't always get that in a crowded primary

Klobuchar says she exceeded expectations in Nevada? Bruh, you got 3%. She's starting to enter Tulsi Gabbard-level delusion.
