Let’s have a nice long battle of the midgets misfits and marxists
Like at least a year
Rip shreds battle. Fight. I’ll love it

I never read Jim Klobuchar’s daily column as a kid, but my mom explained to me that, sadly, there’s no way “Amy K” will lose an election in Minnesota because her dad was so well liked.

I can’t imagine that her electability would cross state lines.

If Pocahontas runs, it’s going to be solid Pocahontas, LOL. PDJT won’t miss a chance to call her out.

Harry Enten writes for Clinton Non News:

Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota and Sherrod Brown of Ohio are above-average candidates on the question of electability, while Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts -- who announced Monday that she's formed a committee to explore a 2020 presidential run -- is below average.

To come to that conclusion, I followed a pretty simple formula. I looked at how Brown, Klobuchar, Warren, Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand of New York, Texas' Beto O'Rourke and Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont did in their 2018 Senate races. Then I examined how Democratic US House candidates in those same states performed. Thanks to Catalist, a data company that works with Democrats and others, we can calculate how unopposed House candidates would have done in races had they had opponents.
