I Really like her.

Geographical identity politics. She apparently thought “I’m from the Midwest,” would be enough to make primary voters swoon. She brings it up at every opportunity. Beto did the same thing last night with his Texas polling numbers. People want to see what you’re all about, not where you’re from.

Warren and Sanders may appeal to those on the coasts, but guess what, we already have those states in the bag.
I think Klobuchar would do great in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania, and those are the States we must win back.

I appreciate how she refuses to attack fellow Democrats and usually turns the fight back towards Trump. I know before the debate she needed more donors (I believe) to make the next round of debates, so, I chipped in a small bit to her campaign for the first time to help her out.

I think she’s a strong candidate who presents well.

I also think Mayor Pete did well last night with his presentation of the issues.

She's smart, she'd make a great president, she'd reach across the isle, she's exactly what the founders wanted in a potus, the country would be in better shape after her term. I will vote for her without hesitation if she's the candidate.

And she can never win.

She's too soft and nice for some, and too female for others. She's got no charisma.

I think the thing that some say about Warren is what I like about her: She's fearless, and she's not there to be nice, but she will do what's right every damn time. Amy lacks the elbows to survive or make real progress in D.C.

IMHO
