WAPO opinion on context of Klobuchar talking with Buttigieg (2/19/2020 debate)

https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/02/20/forget-minnesota-nice-amy-klobuchars-rage-is-exactly-what-she-needs-right-now/|

Henry Olsen opinion piece describes the experiences of women in the workforce to understand the different opinion of what happened and what should come next. Most resonant sentence: "Every woman who has ever had to compete with a Pete Buttigieg at work now knows that Klobuchar knows them because she is them."

...and Buttigieg finally turns around and gives her a taste of her own medicine -- all factual and fair criticisms, I believe -- and he is the bad guy for it? I just don't get it. Some people said, "well, he kept interrupting her!!1!" but I went back and watched some of their tense exchanges and she was interrupting him just as much as he was interrupting her (as almost all of them were, to be honest).

It is beyond crazy to me that we are having a conversation about Mayor Pete being unfair to Amy. She has been very unfair to him.

Pete is a puff ball compared to the savage animal in the Whitehouse.

Klobuchar really needs to ask herself does she want to be in that position.

When she was asked the question, it seemed she just did not know. Its not like she said" shoot I know that, but I forget..."

"because she had momentarily forgotten the name of Mexico’s president"


Don't mind her not knowing, though it is not good since she SHOULD, but to claim you forgot cause you had a long day...???

Can the public handle the truth? Here's what I believe:

AK meets with ambassadors regularly with committees and knows what is going on in Mexico and all of SA.
Providing judicial resources by approving judges nominated by admin is a senator's duty to America. Yes, AK approved judges.
