The biggest threat to Trump most likely. Question is if she can take off.

Shes as close to "generic Democrat" as you can get. That's great in the general but a hindrance in the primary. I'm not sure she can overcome how vanilla she is.

She's literally a liberal Michele Bachmann minus the charisma. I don't get why people think she's such a threat to Trump.

How is Klobuchar like Bachmann aside from being a woman from Minnesota?

Her potential appeal depended largely on her being a nice Midwestern motherly/sisterly figure who was down to earth and could bring the country together, and that's hard to sustain with the stories about office supply projectiles and the salad comb.

Klobuchar has some nice words for Yang and his gang. 


Maybe some of them will come her way?

It's worth noting that Amy's elections have been in 2006, 2012, and 2018, which were all great years for Democrats.  In 2012 and 2018 she faced only unfunded, token opposition.  Her original election year of 2006 was a landslide year for the DFL.  So it's not like she's been running around toppling GOP titans while the rest of her state swings around.  Frankly she's never really had a serious electoral challenge.

Of course, this could be because she's so strong and popular that the GOP doesn't even bother trying to challenge her despite the swinginess of her state.  After all, Norm Coleman could have tried to take her down but didn't.

Klobuchar won every Congressional District in 2018, including 2 that flipped to Republicans.

Klobuchar has in the past responded to the pro-life question by talking about her work on adoption. I wonder why she didn't take that tack this time?
