Klobuchar says she'd be concerned about having a Democratic socialist at the top of the ticket
Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar raised her hand tonight when the candidates were asked if they were concerned about "having a Democratic socialist on the top of the ticket."
Sen. Bernie Sanders quickly responded to the question, saying, "I am not."
Klobuchar laughed and went on to explain that she and Sanders work together all the time.
"But I think we are not going to be able to out-divide the divider-in-chief," she said. "I think we need someone to head up this ticket that actually brings people with her, instead of shutting them out."

primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

But it's sad that a fucking racist disaster is in better position to win than a Democratic socialist.

Unfortunately our primary voters do not have great instincts.
Otherwise it would have been Hillary in 2008 and Obama in 2016. We would be sitting here with a popular incumbent while the Republicans scrambled to nominate someone.
