      Unless you're a simpleton you surely realize there's other factors involved right? But the question is, before you tried to move the goalposts, is do you still stand by this earlier statement of yours: "A dozen years ago or so the Democrats controlled both houses of Congress and the White House, but I don't recall any great wealth tax imposed or other dramatic step to change the inequality"

        Didn't watch the debate, but what I'm gathering from the recaps:
        Bloomberg sucked
        Sanders escaped relatively unscathed
        Biden was a non factor
        Warren burned everyone
        Buttigeig and Klobuchar had a brouhaha, with Buttigeig winning on the scorecards.

          I don't get Mayor Pete's strategy. He doesn't want a Sanders vs Bloomberg race so naturally he attacks...Klobuchar?

            She's in his lane. No Klobuchar and he maybe wins NH. Warren already took care of Bloomberg in the debate so go after the next target. Whether that's Klobuchar or Biden for him I'm not sure but he needs to get some of the moderates out of the race.

              What Rover said. If Klobuchar doesn't win most of the late deciders in NH following the last debate, Pete very likely would've edged out Sanders. If he could land a killing blow, a lot of her voters probably go to him.

              And don't discount that it's gotten personal for her, and likely has for him as well. There is genuine disdain there.

                  That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.

                    If he doesn't want Bloomberg to buy the nomination it makes more sense to either join the dogpile or try to hurt Sanders. Going after Amy wasn't a good look for him, and even drew the attention of Liz the Lioness, which is astonishing considering she was still feasting on the remains of Bloomberg.

                      Elena thinks she's entitled to the moderate vote because she's played the game longer than Pedro. Those rules went out the window 12 years ago, and Hillary never learned. Seems Elena didn't either.

                        Also, his target is wrong. The latest polls show him at just about viable in Nevada, far behind Sanders but very close to Biden. Joe has been dropping like a rock and may not make it to the magic 15%. If Buttigieg can pick off those voters he not only gets himself over the threshold, but he knocks out Biden. Biden is also in his lane, and much more vulnerable than Klobuchar. She's hovering around <10% and may not even make it. Joe is the one he should go after.

                        There are better and smarter ways to go after her. You have to be able to read the room, and going after Amy last night was not a good idea. If he's acting out of personal dislike for her then he's already lost.

                        His target should have been Biden. Hell, the lioness might have helped go after the wounded animal instead of seeing Buttigieg as her next meal.

                          My personal issue with Klobuchar is that she reminds me too much of my last boss, and that's not a good thing (there's a reason I took about an 8% pay cut to get away and have had no regrets). The sense of entitlement is one aspect, the stories about her treatment of her staff got to me though. Even if it was a planted hatchet job, it struck true to me and I'm guessing many people who've had bosses that act similarly. The animus she aimed at Pete the last couple of debates kinda solidifies that.

                          Probably not the best reason to not consider a candidate, but there it is.

                            Per Dr. Mrs. It wasn't. Amy's Beltway rep is she is great to work with and terrible to work for.

                              I have a couple close friends that have worked for her. They love her and had no issues, but did admit that she can be real tough.

                              My impression is that she doesn't suffer fools in her employ, and will at times make an example of someone. Everyone likes a Dr. Cox in a television show, not so much in reality.
