Journalist Walker Bragman, a Sanders supporter, already going after Klobuchar on Twitter

I'm not going to link to any of his tweets, You can google to find his account.

Looks like they're planning on going after Klobuchar the way they went after Biden, as too moderate and even a threat to Social Security.

Bragman, FWIW, opined in 2016 that Clinton would be more of a "nightmare for the left" than Trump would be, writing in "A liberal case for Donald Trump":

I suggest that DUers who might run across any of Bragman's tweets or other writings attacking Klobuchar (or any other moderate) bookmark that 2016 article to use in any response.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden

Senator Klobuchar will be vetted starting now. Claire said Amy should expect it as it’s part of being in the top tier. Amy has this I’m sure.

It's not surprising that after her third-place finish, she's going to start being vetted. It's not exactly a secret that Klobuchar has been in favor of a border fence and raising the retirement age for Social Security.

I mean, Klobuchar is running as a centrist, and positions like that are what make centrists centrist. There's nothing remotely unfair about it.
