Are you kidding? Do you really think that Biden had any chance in Minnesota if it weren't for Klobuchar? As late as Monday, the polls showed Klobuchar at 27%, Sanders at 21% and Biden at 20%. Biden won with 38.6% to Sanders 29.9%. In 2016, Clinton lost MN in 2016 by 27.6 points to Trump. Klobuchar is very popular there and has won districts that Trump carried by more than 20 points.

Additionally, her brand of midwest pragmatism would be helpful throughout the midwest an area that has long been the weakness of the Democratic party. The Democrats hold the costs and the Republicans hold the middle of the country. If you don't think a popular midwestern senator can help, then I don't know what to tell you. Look at the results from 2016:



Look at that huge swath down the middle of the country. A pragmatic midwesterner will definitely help from The Dakotas down to Texas. Likely more than any other candidate other than perhaps a Latinx candidate.

But Dems don’t need the Dakotas or Nebraska or Oklahoma or Iowa or Missouri to win.

Wisconsin. Pennsylvania. Michigan. Repeat after me.

Biden polls ahead in PA and MI, which is why some are stating WI will be the key.

I know that. My point is that the states Dems need to keep in mind when strategizing are Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. THOSE are the tipping states. If Dems don’t flip that trio, the Dakotas and Texas certainly aren’t flipping.

The Bernie Bros won't come to his side no matter what, and they already are blaming Warren for his ST loss. So forget them.

+1. Looking at Bernie’s short list of congressional endorsements, many aren’t eligible (AOC, Omar, Chuy Garcia, Jayapal.) Possibilities: Ro Khanna (CA), Mark Pocan (WI), Peter Welch (VT). He’s not endorsed by any governors or any Senators besides Leahy.

Big problem with that: a Bernie-ish VP candidate would scare moderates/middle voters away. So. That won’t work. Warren is a possible exception. Better strategy is to pick a good, solid Democratic candidate.

If Bernie supporters won’t vote for a Democratic ticket? Then they truly are the idiots everyone has assumed all along.

Adding that Rashida Tlaib is another eligible Bernie endorsement, but she is radioactive.

The state is split down the middle. Middle PA and Western PA (the Pittsburgh side) are midwestern. Eastern PA (Philadelphia) is midAtlantic in attitude. In general, PA leans more midwestern, but it is divided.

I think Harris or Abrams is more likely, with Gov. Witmar as a wildcard.

Good way to ensure a Trump victory.

The most logical choice, presuming Biden can hold the black vote. With the Obamas as his surrogates, he should be okay.

Right. Women just aren’t electable, especially black women. Bernie alone can fix it!

If Bernie is the nominee, do you think he'll choose himself as the VP, because only Bernie is pure enough to be Bernie?

Say what now? Minnesota has had it share of dirtbag Republicans and the magats are getting a little too numerous, but we are a blue state, TYVM.

No, I think he’d pick someone who is absolutely loyal to him and only him, like Nina Turner.

I honestly don't see what Amy brings to the ticket. Other than not being in her 70's?
