Neither are going to win the primary.

Serious quality staff or possibly VP potential.

Pete doesn’t have the experience of Amy but he sure has qualities that make him a very viable candidate for any position. I like him.

Both of them have so much potential. Build up yourselves and don’t worry so much about the other one.

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

I love Amy Klobuchar, but that wasn't a very wise comment. George II Nov 2019 #1

She's not wrong though. Salviati Nov 2019 #8

It's true. If Pete was Petra, a gay small-city mayor, she wouldn't be doing as well. nt pnwmom Nov 2019 #17

actually lesbians and bisexual women have done much better at the ballot box than gay man dsc Nov 2019 #48

I see it as pretty wise judeling Nov 2019 #21

There is still such a divide here. I wish this old feminist could not say it's true. efhmc Nov 2019 #2

Marianne Williamson made it to the debate stage TheFarseer Nov 2019 #7

I knew there was someone relevant to this discussion I had forgotten. Thank you. WheelWalker Nov 2019 #11

I would argue that is more because of her 'cult-like' following rpannier Nov 2019 #14

That doesn't prove her wrong. Marianne hasn't been doing nearly as well as Pete. n/t pnwmom Nov 2019 #18

Once you make it TheFarseer Nov 2019 #22

Not true. So much is dependent on media attention OFF the debate stage. pnwmom Nov 2019 #23

Right. And a female lesbian mayor of a small city would be given even less serious attention. nt pnwmom Nov 2019 #19

You got that right mcar Nov 2019 #20

He's getting all this attention because he has worked for it. CaliforniaPeggy Nov 2019 #24
