I never thought Klobuchar was that good; she couldn't debate Buttigieg. Still better than most, though.

I don't any scenario where she is the nominee imo. She kinda sounds like a nagging mother(no offense) and doesn't have any personal charisma

She would have done a lot better in the midwest than biden but worst every were else it also really depends on if she can help get Sanders voters to turnout for her I think she still would have won but way narrower than Biden probably something like this

Klobuchar would have lost in a landslide. She was the MN AG and after the BLM protests this summer no way black turnout is as high

If we butterfly away the Goegre Floyde murder, I think the KLOB loses just because of sexism and the whole nagging mother thing

The only state she would have improved in would be Minnesota which I could see her winning by maybe 9%. She falters everywhere else though among most voters of color especially. Well, maybe she matches Biden's numbers with educated white suburbanites. Again, she still wins the popular vote as every Democrat does.

I also think she would win by maybe 1.5% in WI and does better in IA, Maybe a 6 point loss.

She still loses by losing AZ, GA, NV, MI and PA. 301-237 Trump.

She was the DA of Hennepin County.

Like Buttigieg, Klobuchar had poor standing with nonwhite voters.  The George Floyd incident would have been a disaster for her.  For that reason I believe she would have lost.  I don't think she would have lost in a landslide though.  It probably would have been pretty close.  Unlike Buttigieg, Klobuchar could not be labeled as inexperienced.  As Progressive Pessimist said, she would have done well with the educated suburban white vote.  But she would have cratered with nonwhites.

Depends on whom she would have picked as a running mate and it probably would of been Bullock, he only ran for Senate due to fact Biden is begging him to run

But a Klobuchar/Bullock ticket would have beaten Trump
Users always think about the losing candidate without the running mate, of course without Bullock, Klobuchar would seem too liberal

I've said many times that I think Klobuchar was arguably the second-best choice behind Biden in terms of electability. It's tough to say if that would've been enough but I think she would've won WI, PA, and MI. She has her own unique liabilities but she also doesn't have a lot of the weaknesses that Biden has.

Agreed, she would’ve done a little better than Buttigieg and around the same as Warren.

I think she would have done better than Warren, who too readily embraced wokeness. Klobuchar was stronger with moderates and could have worked in a populist message around antitrust.
