Being a Minnesotan, I’ve seen Amy in many debates, both Hennepin County Attorney and US Senate. I’ve helped a number of her opponents.
One thing Amy hates is being questioned or criticized. She really hates it. She gets hostile, a bit shrill and goes off the “Moderate Unifying Mom” routine she’s been so good at passing off on us for decades.
Her last few Senate opponents have tried it. They were reasonably successful but they didn’t wanna go all out and be perceived as Rick Lazio back in 2000. She they backed off. But they still succeeded in getting under her skin a bit.
I was glad to see Buttgag had no problems with going after Amy. I hope it helped a lot of potential voters to see the real her.
Amy just painted herself in a corner on the Mexican president name situation.
Is she competent or incompetent?
Is she young and vigorous or forgetful?
Is she in the room when immigration policy is made or not?
Game, set, match!
