22. It needs to be Amy

Forget the crap about motivating the base or expanding the playing field. We need to double down on the midwest. Nothing else matters in the slightest.

We are still severely underestimating how problematic those states are. White moderate swing voters will decide those states. There won't be an avalanche of turnout to the rescue.

I have hosted enough debate watching parties to know how Amy Klobuchar would be received by that type of voter as opposed to a barker like Kamala Harris.

Deny or ignore that at our own risk

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
Or a midwestern Governor bucolic_frolic Mar 2020 #1
I think Amy MFM008 Mar 2020 #2
