don’t care—exceptions might be cruel behavior. I always took the mean Amy stories with a grain
of salt. How closely she conforms to the social demand that she, as a woman, please people and be a nurturing employer, does not sway me one way or another. Some tough conductors get beautiful music out of musicians. I wouldn’t respect willful abusiveness, but c’mon.

Does Amy Klobuchar have the qualifications, temperament, knowledge, and relevant experience to lead our nation and the world at this time in history? Many of you feel she does. Her growing numbers of supporters agree too.

Glad to see a resounding rebuttal, however.

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