Anyone else think a Klobuchar-Buttigieg unity ticket is possible?

[Alhena]

Yes, I know Buttigieg has beaten Amy so far, but I suspect she will leave NH with both momentum and the tacit blessing of the Democratic establishment, and there's no antipathy towards her (that I know of) among black voters, like there is with Buttigieg.

That leads me to think she will overtake Buttigieg, and, if that happens, I can easily see a guy as young as Buttigieg agreeing to endorse her and be her running mate. Why wouldn't he? He can only be president for 8 years of his life, and he's got a lot of years ahead of him.

I really think the Dem establishment will push to make this a reality, if they continue to split the moderate vote, benefitting Sanders in the process.

1. That isn't a unity ticket, they're both centrists (n/t)

[LonePirate]

11. MTE. What would they be uniting? The genders? Midwestern moderates?

[evertonfc]

2. no

Let's see how she does in the coming weeks. She overperforming but still hasn't finished in top 2

[Corgigal]

3. Yes,

both are fighters. Different styles, but that would work well.

[unitedwethrive]

4. Buttigieg-Abrams would be my dream ticket.

Pete and Amy are too similar, IMO.

[democrattotheend]

9. Agreed re. Pete and Amy being too similar

I think Buttigieg, if he wins, would be wise to chose a person of color as his running mate. I was thinking Kamala but Stacy Abrams might be good. I confess I don't know that much about her because I was mostly taking a break from politics in 2018.

[emmaverybo]

12. Abrams would never ever get behind PB.

[Dream Girl]

5. Wouldn't be my first choice, but I agree we need to get Sanders out of there

He would spell disaster for us

[BeyondGeography]

6. Nothing says "unity" better than two white moderates from the Midwest

[Lefta Dissenter]

7. Yes, anyone else thinks that!

At least my sister and I were discussing that just about an hour ago. Not my favorite ticket overall (I’m not exactly sure who is), but I’d proudly work for and vote for them!

[calguy]

8. No

At this point in time I'm seeing Bloomberg/Klobachar as our strongest ticket.

[msongs]

10. no nt

[greenjar_01]

13. Klobucher-Sanders is a unity ticket

Klobucher-Buttigieg is not.

[underpants]

14. Who thinks there is dis-unity?

[George II]

15. No, they're both midwesterners. I don't have a problem with it hypothetically....

.....but nationwide it won't fly.

[MoonlitKnight]

16. Klobuchar has not been vetted yet

That is coming this week. It was her turn to have a bump and will soon be her turn to pull back again.

Buttigieg held somewhat steady. It looks like Klobuchar got some of the Biden and Warren vote.

Biden and Warren have the organization to keep going through Super Tuesday. Bloomberg will now start to have a bigger influence.

[gibraltar72]

17. No.

[SMC22307]

18. Bloomberg/Klobuchar... I'm really starting to think that's a winning ticket.

Yeah, both white, but New England/New York and Midwest; male and female; Jewish and United Church of Christ; her grandfather was an iron miner and his father was a bookkeeper at a diary company (no silver spoons). What other identity stuff (that supposedly matters to voters) am I missing?

[cwydro]

23. I could see that, if Amy doesn't end up at the top.

[SMC22307]

24. Wouldn't that be something...

I don't watch much TV news but my understanding is that she hasn't gotten a lot of coverage.

[RestoreAmerica2020]

19. Warren/Buttigieg win 2020; then, Buttigieg 2028!

..well that's my dream ticket.

[Demsrule86]

28. I know Amy did well but both she and Buttigieg have basically no AA support ...remember them...

a really important part our party? After New Hampshire and maybe both get something in Nevada don't know that state well but when they hit diversified states,they are done. It will be Sanders and either Biden or Bloomberg.

[judeling]

20. No I don't think so

It doesn't gain anything for either.

We need Nevada.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

21. Hope not

[TreadSoftly]

22. true on unity comments but something compelling about the idea

DT has made such a mess out of both domestic and foreign policies that the skills of both are needed. I could see Klobuchar as president to bring the US back to functional state while Buttigieg becomes right-hand for foreign policy as VP.

Purely my own opinion. I'll look at the other comments on this idea and give them some thought. Thanks, DU!

[Demsrule86]

25. Absolutely not... we would lose and badly.

[Adelante]

26. No

[Cicada]

27. Klobuchar Gillum would be better

More balanced, black white, male female, Midwest swing region, Florida swing region

[dflprincess]

29. Two centrists on the ticket will not help turnout

And turnout is what we need to beat Trump.
