I think when people say safe, they're referring to a return to something ecstatic Jun 2019 #6
A straignt, married black guy, safe? Not in this country. brush Jun 2019 #8
Yes. Pres Obama broke that ceiling and normalized the idea of a ecstatic Jun 2019 #9
I like Klobuchar much more than Biden but Biden comradebillyboy Jun 2019 #7
I think our extra crispy planet is issue #1. Karadeniz Jun 2019 #10
Yeah, the polls totally reflect that. BlueTsunami2018 Jun 2019 #11

I'd vote for Klobuchar in a heartbeat. But she won't make it. She'd be a great VP, though. Honeycombe8 Jun 2019 #12
She might not win it, although I think she would still be the safest bet to beat Trump, but mtnsnake Jun 2019 #19
Another hilarious and futile tutorial NYMinute Jun 2019 #13
Nope! Biden is the cure for this particular political fungus that has infested OUR Peacetrain Jun 2019 #14
If he wins it, which I doubt, I hope you're right that he's the cure, Peacetrain, mtnsnake Jun 2019 #20
Oh mtnsnake.. so much at stake.. Peacetrain Jun 2019 #25
She has no support...down around 1%. No thanks I will take Biden especially after I saw the polls Demsrule86 Jun 2019 #16
That doesn't mean she isn't the safest bet to beat Trump. It just means she isn't as popular as mtnsnake Jun 2019 #17
If she can't win a primary,she won't beat Trump. Demsrule86 Jun 2019 #18
haha, that is very true, but this race is still in its infancy. mtnsnake Jun 2019 #23
I don't think so. I believe thete is a good chance Biden will win so let's try not Demsrule86 Jun 2019 #56

I agree. Klobuchar will be the sleeper candidate, I predict. Politicub Jun 2019 #31
I like Amy Klobuchar very much. I've met and talked with her. MineralMan Jun 2019 #32
That is cool that you met her. However, don't your arguments against her hold truer for Biden than mtnsnake Jun 2019 #42
I agree. BlueWI Jun 2019 #33
Yes pattyloutwo Jun 2019 #35
Me too. marybourg Jun 2019 #52
I'm afraid your notion of "safe" is unsupportable FBaggins Jun 2019 #37
She's a much stronger candidate then her polling would indicate DrToast Jun 2019 #41
She really is mtnsnake Jun 2019 #49
There are no "safe" candidates, and imo this is a phony meme Hortensis Jun 2019 #46
I won't disagree with that one bit, but since "safe" seems to be the main concern of so many people, mtnsnake Jun 2019 #48
