You and I agree. Hoover, W. And Trump all ran on business experience. Screw the billionaire or MBA candidate. No one group of people has screwed up this country more.I agree. Electability is the key. Biden is through as well. It is possible he could pull a Hillary style run in the south. I am not sure Biden can do that especially with Bloomberg on the horizon.That is true. She lacks in the charisma department. After four years of Trump, the electorate wants a stable personality. She may not win the nomination, but I am glad to see her rise. I Don’t want Bernie.Maybe - if she can stir the base.
She also, imo, has the best potential for bipartisanship...maybe toning down the wings a little.
I like Bernie...don't get me wrong, I think he's a good man who cares a great deal but he's not nationally electable, and not all his ideas are realistic nationally. We don't need a winger now, not after Trump. We need stability, and a rebuilding of public trust and our national image if that is even repairable.
I don't much like Bloomberg. I think I'm burned out by billionaires.
There's a lot to like about Klobachar: Where Amy Klobuchar stands on the biggest 2020 issues
Criminal Justice - agree with her on all points.
Schools:
Charter Schools - she supports them, I don't, but she adds "accountability" - what does that mean?
Higher Ed - first two years free - I support that. Not the full higher ed but the first two years covers community college, vocational school or training - few can get by on a Highschool Diploma anymore, and Americans without one are most economically vulnerable.
Student Debt and Teacher Pay - agree with.
Campaign Finance Reform - she seems to support it, but what policies? I think it's very important.
Abolishing Electoral College - don't know not enough info to have an opinion pro or con.
All in all, reading through the list - there's more I agree with than don't.
