2020 Democratic Presidential/Vice Presidential Ticket- Klobuchar/Booker or Booker/Klobuchar

Klobuchar-MN has won both statewide elections in MN (2006/2012 US Senate Races by a greater than 20 percent margin). She can turn MN into a dark blue state, MI,PA, and WI into light blue states.
She picks Booker-NJ as the VP runningmate to appeal to the progressive and moderates.

Klobuchar is one of my senators. She gives good interviews but she is very wishy-washy on controversial issues, and if you try to communicate with her all you get back is a canned response that doesn't say anything. And her staff are rude.

Fellow Minnesotan...she says the right things but doesn't back it up. I had experience with that way back when she was Hennepin County Attorney and I was doing victim advocate work.

If we are going to run a Minnesota senator, let it be Franken. But to be honest, I kinda like him in the senate.
