We did it! We made the fall debates! My approach on the stage was to take it to Donald Trump and not each other. The result? Small donations poured in & now more than 130,000 people have contributed to our grassroots campaign. Thanks & let’s keep it going:

Thank you for donating

On edit, the Star Tribune confirmed it (begrudgingly, I would add)

Also, I noticed a post somewhere in DU on her effectiveness as a Senator.

If Amy is not chosen for the Pres or VP slots, its good to have her.

As an Undecided, that made me give her a second hard look.

For her to be at only 1 or 2 percent but refuse to take the CNN bait to bash fellow Dems reveals her substance and character.

And taking it to Donald Trump? That's the message; that's ultimately the only message to win in 2020 whether we like it or not. 2020 will be a referendum on Trump and Trumpism.

Good one on her!

This is a 3 person race. (and she is not one of them) Always was and still is. Amy was a great SCOTUS short lister for Obama. She would have been great there. MN is fortunate to have her as their Senator. (MN had the best 2 Senators when Franken was in)

I agree that Amy is a long shot for 2020. But then so are Mayor Pete, Kamala, Beto, Cory and several others. They are the future of our Party.

She’s smart, quick on her feet and comes across as very friendly.

I think Trump would have a hard time getting attacks to stick on her.
