Amy Klobuchar 2020 campaign megathread

[Fmr. Gov. NickG]

Amy couldn't name Mexican president apparently. Kinda pathetic for longtime senator, when Pete correctly called AMLO

It's not so simple actually. There is a difference between the one officially running Mexico and the one the US recognizes. Names of foreign leaders don't really matter that much anyways. I don't know if she couldn't name the Mexican President or not, but it doesn't matter to me either way. Seriously, when would she ever need to know his name as a Senator? There are hundreds of world leaders around the world constantly changing.

What are you talking about?  Are you confusing Mexico with Venezuela?

Anyway, this is really pathetic for a sitting Senator.  I wish they would ask some of these sort of questions in debates, “Final Jeopardy” style.

I also don’t understand why we aren’t seeing the same sort of “Klobuchar can’t win because she’s a woman” backlash in the mainstream media that we got when Warren was rising.

Is Warren was a liability because of sexism, why wouldn’t the exact same be true for Klobuchar?

She doesn't care about Black voters. That's why she's not getting the nomination.

How many black voters are in the state of Minnesota? It's a pretty white place. Maybe the black population has not figured prominently inside her orbit, but that doesn't mean she doesn't care about people in general. I think she cares about everyone, in a larger sense...she views people as people. That's the impression I'm getting.

Minnesota is about 6% black.  I was surprised to learn that Keith Ellison and Ilhan Omar were both elected from a CD that is only 17% black.

According to South Carolina exit polls, Klobuchar got 0% of the black vote.  Z-E-R-O
