40. "I am someone that has won every race I've ever run in, back to fourth grade,"

She ain't in it to lose.

“I have won, and I have won big,” she said, ticking off the counties and congressional districts in her state that Donald Trump won—and that she’s won, too.

“Over and over again,” she said.

“Every single time,” she said.

“I always win,” she concluded.

And Klobuchar has a better, longer record than anybody running of winning precisely the kinds of voters in the same sort of state where Democrats almost certainly are going to have to win to win come November.

“I have won big time,” she reiterated to this crowd, “every time.”

I never liked her much to begin with. StevieM Feb 2020 #2

I'm trying to remain undecided, but I did notice that Amy seemed to really enjoy attacking unitedwethrive Feb 2020 #52

If you offer yourself up at a relatively inexperienced 37 and bring up cartoons, BusyBeingBest Feb 2020 #4

Yes. Hard work is exhausting squirecam Feb 2020 #6

Honesty is the best policy. It's not so exhausting. mobeau69 Feb 2020 #11

Run with it or twist and distort it? mobeau69 Feb 2020 #9

I read her attack as mostly dismissing Pete's whining that the proceedings BusyBeingBest Feb 2020 #12

Yep squirecam Feb 2020 #14

Only problem with that is it's not accurate. mobeau69 Feb 2020 #15

It wasn't inaccurate. He did say that. It's just that she didn't put it into BusyBeingBest Feb 2020 #16

She didn't put it into ACCURATE context. n/t MBS Feb 2020 #19

Pete's going to have to get a lot sharper, not everyone is going to BusyBeingBest Feb 2020 #21

Nope. Amy said to Pete mobeau69 Feb 2020 #22

Maybe that's what she heard? In any event, she sliced him pretty effectively BusyBeingBest Feb 2020 #24

He's slogged in Afghanistan. Has she slogged with her life on the line? mobeau69 Feb 2020 #27

I think it's nice that he served. She had a different life and career path. BusyBeingBest Feb 2020 #29

With his education he could have chosen a more comfortable one than Amy could've ever dreamed of mobeau69 Feb 2020 #36

Well, let him get back to me when he's had a couple years in the Senate or governors' mansion. BusyBeingBest Feb 2020 #38

You need to fight clean frazzled Feb 2020 #31

I don't think she lied. She just referred to his quote. BusyBeingBest Feb 2020 #35

Sorry, she knew she was distorting what was said frazzled Feb 2020 #44

She knew he said something about watching cartoons rather than the trial. BusyBeingBest Feb 2020 #47

Well, he can just talk about frazzled Feb 2020 #49

Sure, he should totally bring it up. BusyBeingBest Feb 2020 #54

Like Amy. I believe there is a point to be made about his inexperience, especially when he takes emmaverybo Feb 2020 #55

Don't word things such that your rivals can use it against you. BusyBeingBest Feb 2020 #57

She has sharp elbows. madaboutharry Feb 2020 #5

Posted this the night of the debates. She may have cost Pete an outright win in NH. mobeau69 Feb 2020 #7

I was a bit surprised customerserviceguy Feb 2020 #8

This is such a minor kerfuffle, it shouldn't even be on anyone's radar... cynatnite Feb 2020 #10

I don't know about that. It's stuff like this that has always turned me off about career KPN Feb 2020 #34

Thanks for putting this out there. Pete is too serious of a person and candidate to so ... SWBTATTReg Feb 2020 #13

It wasn't misspoken. The Times called it a distortion also widely known as a lie. mobeau69 Feb 2020 #23

I know. I was being nice for the grace of it. nt SWBTATTReg Feb 2020 #26

Nothing I like less Dem2 Feb 2020 #18

I don't disagree that she did twist his words, and that was shitty, redqueen Feb 2020 #20

I can't disagree with this. mobeau69 Feb 2020 #25

Meh ibegurpard Feb 2020 #28

Thanks for the post. Klobuchar has piqued my interest and did so in the debate frankly. Good to KPN Feb 2020 #30

I have to agree democrattotheend Feb 2020 #37

It is really hard to find something to attack Klobuchar with, I have noticed. krissey Feb 2020 #39

Ouch frazzled Feb 2020 #50

That one is one of the more silly ones. We have watched her for 6 months. Nothing that proves krissey Feb 2020 #51

It's not about the comb frazzled Feb 2020 #53

It is about a couple X employees after all her years in employment think she is too mean. krissey Feb 2020 #56

But if it's okay to distort the words of another candidate frazzled Feb 2020 #61

Why is everyone expecting perfection bamagal62 Feb 2020 #59

Yep. I knew Amy was misrepresenting what Pete had said when she said it. stopbush Feb 2020 #60

Pete learned his lesson about getting into it with Amy. judeling Feb 2020 #63

Weak. I expected better from her. n/t Laelth Feb 2020 #64
