I just returned from a “Hot Dish House Party” given for the Amy Klobuchar campaign. That is the Midwest version of our “pot-luck suppers.” Klobuchar is on my short list of presidential candidates.
We Democrats have a great field of candidates, and the debates going on within the party right now are highly educational. My high school debate teacher, Mrs. Keaton, would be proud of the political ideas and discussion points being put forth. Full spectrum: conservative, moderate, liberal and radical. I believe we will end up with a winner.
Meanwhile, I hope readers will take a closer look at Klobuchar. She supports a Medicare option rather than Medicare for All, wants to disallow any one company from holding both patent and generic versions of the same drug, and will reconnect with our allies. She is a thoughtful and smart leader when it comes to agriculture and our environment.
Vanderbilt University cited her as the single most effective Democratic senator. She works well “across the aisle.” She has passed 34 bills that were signed into law during the last two years.
Regardless of who I decide to support politically, I believe Amy is the most pleasant candidate in the field. Over decades she has proven her “electability” and has been good for down-ballot races. She has a very good temperament for the presidency. Most importantly, she has a great sense of humor, with which she is able to put Trump in his place without being offensive to voters.
