Nazi Collaborator and Reed in the Wind Senator Amy Klobuchar (Kinda Sorta D, MN)

Sen. Klobuchar shows Democrats how NOT to do things in this post-Trump era

The following Democrats are, per rumor and insider gossip, running for president: Sen. Corey Booker, Gov. Mario Cuomo, Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, Sen. Kamala Harris, Sen. Amy Klobuchar, and Gov. Terry McAuliffe. Thus, it bears taking particular note of how they behave to our unfolding national nightmare.

Wall Street-fave Booker voted with Republicans against drug reimportation to keep Big Pharma happy. Cuomo will be 2020’s Joe Lieberman. We’ll have fun beating the crap out of him. McAuliffe has been a surprisingly good governor, but do we really need another ethically challenged, kinda corrupt candidate? So for now (given this list), the most intriguing potential candidates are Gillibrand, Harris and Klobuchar. Except, well, let’s strike Klobuchar from the list.
