    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.
    Yep, if you don't get what she's after immediately, she's the kind of teacher/supervisor who belittles you. It's a bad look, especially to anyone under 40.

      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.
      There's a difference between not suffering fools in her employ and winging binders at them. If Sanders or Biden had done this how many "Crazy Old Man" stories would we have seen already in the press? I'm guessing about maybe 10,000 at this point complete with photos of the binders with scuff marks and/or bloodstains on them!

          I dgaf if she threw binders at someone on the 5% chance she gets the nod. Trump grabbed pus$ies and whole lot more, and I like that she actually has the balls to take him snipe for snipe. So if I have to choose to live with my angry aunt or my racist and misogynist grandfather with a whip....

            Hey if she's the nominee I'm on board too, but we can't rightfully call out Bloomberg for how he treats his staff but give Klobacher a free pass. To my knowledge Lizzy Warren has never clobbered anyone with office supplies, so she has my vote in the primaries...

                Here's the thing:

                1. We don't have to work with her.

                2. If you work on a White House staff you're an as-shole and deserve everything you get anyway.

                Therefore it's a non-factor for me. Pretty much every President has been an SOB to The Help. It comes with the unbridled narcissism of reaching for the office. About the only one who wasn't a complete d-ck, and this includes Barack, is Dubya, and Dubya was a moron, a coward, and a total failure, so that's hardly a recommendation. Even Jimmy Carter was a hardas-s to his staff and Jimmy Carter is a living Saint.

                  There's a difference between being tough and belittling. I figure Carter, Mr. "Lust in My Heart" Jesus lover, is the former.

                        So Bloomberg's latest ad takes a clip of him asking a question at the debate followed by 20 seconds of silence. Problem is it was a rhetorical that no one took seriously enough to answer and the silence last all of two seconds before everyone moved on. The ad has earned 4 Pinocchios from WaPo.

                        Which is nice, but he'll put $50 million behind the ad and infinitely more people will see it than watched the debate.

                                We've got the wrong Buttigieg. His father was the English translator of Gramsci's Prison Notebooks.
