Whether or not a woman could beat Trump is the burning question of the day. In Klobuchar’s case, the answer is a ringing yes.
She presents the fewest points of vulnerability of any of the major candidates. She’s not a socialist. She doesn’t look or sound like a liberal elitist. She isn’t into culture wars. She isn’t tied to any of the failures of the Obama administration. Her responses to questions during the debates make sense–most notably, on education. As she never fails to point out, she has a record of winning in both blue and red areas, and she has had a fair amount of success working across party lines. She would be a very plausible nominee.
Luckily for Trump, she has no following among minorities, so it won’t happen. His gain is our loss.
