Gosh, of all the candidates only Mayor Pete knows the name of Mexico's president

[tiredtoo]

That does it for me. Pete's got my vote. (Sarcasm)

[apcalc]

1. Well ,whaddaya know

Based on that , of which ignorance we KNOW is a “disqualifier”, he’s the one.

[Adelante]

2. It's a disgrace

that presidential candidates wouldn't know the name of a bordering country's president, particularly any candidates already in congress.

[gollygee]

3. We don't have a perfect candidate. We have a bunch of flawed human beings.

We need to stop talking about who is "disqualified" over one thing or another. I know some are more flawed than others, but we need someone who is as decent as possible and who can also win.

8. Yes--this

4. They weren't all asked. Elizabeth wasn't in on the questioning was she?

[tiredtoo]

7. I really don't know. just saw a clip and thought it was a trivial point. Even Funny. EOM

5. I bet they ALL know it now. n/t

6. gee maybe he belongs on the stage after all

I wonder if Klobuchar will be offering an apology for her constant stating that Pete is unqualified.

[Lulu KC]

9. Ummmm hold the phone

I just watched an interview following one of the last two debates in which she said, "Mayor Pete, who IS qualified.."

[dsc]

10. she has repeatedly said the only reason he is on that stage is he is a white male

I can find that for you, if need be.

[Lulu KC]

13. I'll take your word for it

and combining it with what I heard her say, I think there might be some subtleties here. He did make a huge jump from mayor of not-huge city to debate stage. I'm actually pretty sure his white maleness helped with that--and I'm not sure he'd deny it.

Anyway, not here to argue. Enough of that going on. Happy Monday.

11. I will say that he is sharp as a tack on so many issues. nt

[question everything]

12. Was this a "gotcha" question?

At a recent debate, Klobuchar stumbled trying to remember the name of the new D governor of Kansas (Laura Kelly).
