Klobuchar Swings Through Iowa

Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) “didn’t have much to say about the White House, or its current occupant, as she mingled Sunday with hundreds of Iowa Democratic activists who will play an outsized role in picking the party’s next presidential candidate,” the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

“Instead, Minnesota’s senior senator talked jobs and education and rural broadband. But her mere presence at a Polk County fundraiser — she’s one of the first national politicians to venture into this early presidential state since Trump took office — inevitably set off speculation about Klobuchar’s 2020 aspirations.”

1. Oh, I hope not.

She's one of my senators, and she's a human windsock. She's a reliable Dem vote, but you can't get a straight answer from her on controversial issues - she seems to want to straddle the fence so as to try to please everybody. She supports feel-good legislation but keeps her head down when things get really contentious. And her staff are rude.
