4. She's my favorite candidate so far, but I want her to address the staff mistreatment issue.

I don't give anyone who abuses their subordinates a pass.

5. it's not number one on my list

...looks to me like nonsense that just happened to surface right as Amy Klobuchar is set to run, much like the other media-celebrated scandals that have greeted the other women declaring in this race.

Watch the announcement, if you're interested.

6. I am interested and like her a lot.

It's just that I would like to have leaders that allow their values to guide their interactions with those around them. I believe Amy is that type of person, or at least that's what I would like to hear.

7. I hope she addresses it. Simple to say she never threw objects at her staff. nt

9. I hope she addresses economic issues

...and climate change, wage equity, social justice, voter protection.

Issues which directly affect me.

[USALiberal]

10. Most dem candidates believe in those topics, and don't throw shit at staff. nt

[bigtree]

11. like that really happened

...and just happened to surface just in time for her presidential announcement.

I'm not going to be diverted by media-fueled nonsense like this.

More to the point, I'm not so paralyzed by this media-celebrated story that I need to spend this important moment obsessing on it.

[USALiberal]

12. Seems like you are spending time on it. nt

[bigtree]

13. nice work.

...good for a few kicks.

[USALiberal]

23. Glad to do it! nt

8. kick

15. Lots of people out in the cold and snow.

16. I'll bet they say the weather's improved :)

Supporters of Sen. Amy Klobuchar showing up in big numbers on a festive and quintessential Minnesota winter day to support her 2020 presidential announcement on Boom Island in Mpls. Yes, even showing up on cross country skis...

20. It's snowing really hard now!

22. the people in the crowd (and on stage) are totally getting covered

...and look like they're loving it!

Minnesota.

21. Hope she doesn't throw any snowballs at anyone!

Sorry lest anyone take it the wrong way, this is my attempt to make light of what I think are bullshit and un-sourced allegations based in sexism. I do not believe we would hear a male candidate criticized in an article based on anonymous sources for being a mean boss.
I'm a big fan of Amy, I think she exudes sincerity and authenticity. She's definitely in my top 3 or 4 candidates who I may vote for in the Illinois primary next spring.
