Recently, Mona Charen, resident chair for Never Trump in the NR, hailed Sen. Amy Klobuchar as the Dems only hope as she is a "solid midwestern senator" who can win in double digit margins in her home state of Minnesota. Well, I'm sure that last will come as a relief to Dems who in 2016 almost lost a state they have won solidly since 1972 and could still lose to Trump this time. But, after that, her "midwesternness" did nothing to get her a better than 5th place finish in next door Iowa.
Solid? She certainly is solid for Chuck Schumer. She may occasionally make "moderate"-sounding noises but she votes for what Schumer wants all the time. Most importantly, she voted against Kavanaugh. For a reputed conservative like Charen that should make Amy a solid member of the liberal Mob not what I am sure she hopes she can be, a PC vanquisher to settle for to get rid of that ogre Trump.
Worse, she is just a torchbearer for the mob. She does not lead it. It leads her. On top of that, with the way she treats her staff (which I think the formal disclosure of which by independent and protected interview and survey should be just as much a requirement for a candidate as financial disclosure) , it can only be a matter of time before she is forced to get an NDA from them to keep them quiet. I say, nominate her. You'll probably keep Minnesota but you'll lose everywhere else.
