'I wish everyone was as perfect as you': Hostility between Amy Klobuchar and Pete Buttigieg boils over as she REFUSES to shake his hand after they repeatedly clash in Democratic debate
UK Daily Mail ^ | February 20, 2020 | Emily Goodin

The feud between Amy Klobuchar and Pete Buttigieg boiled over in Wednesday's Democratic debate as the two moderate midwesterners attacked each other's qualifications and ended the evening with Klobuchar refusing to shake his hand.

The two president candidates exchanged a series of sharp back-and-forths during the two hour debate that accumulated in Klobuchar deliberately giving Buttigieg a wide berth when the event ended, walking around him to exit the stage in such a way she would not interact with him.

That also meant she didn't have to participate in the handshake candidates traditionally share when the night is over. Buttigieg gave her the side eyes as she cut around him, turning her back to him when she walked by.

Buttigieg shook hands with the other Democratic presidential contenders as he made his way off stage.

Minnesota nice my arse. She is a nasty piece of work.
Harry Reid had to drag her into a closed door meeting to tell her to quit abusing her staff.

Buttplug is a cocky queer.
This was bound not to end well.

“I’m glad she didn’t shake that fag’s hand.”

She knew where it was last night.

He had her on the ropes and kept hitting.
I especially liked how he said the Mexican presidents full name as fast as he could just to confuse her further.

Leftist definition of a moderate——>one who is not totally aligned with the gang of 4 (AOC and others).

I think she wants to be extra hostile and tough (like Hillary
and Warren) to prove she is like a man. All presidents have been men so the women have to say “I would unleash the nuclear bombs without hesitation if it comes to that” and “I will send troops onto the foreign battlefields.”

Then such women are called “strident” and harsh (Hillary).

Actually they can’t win either way. The gentle way looks weak:
biography of
Marianne Williamson:
What she’s known for: Williamson is an author, activist, and Oprah’s spiritual advisor, and previously ran unsuccessfully to represent California’s 33rd congressional district in the U.S. House of Representatives (as an Independent). She is running on a message of love and wants to establish a U.S. Department of Peace.

Critics say: Are Americans ready to accept a message of love? Uh, doubtful.

Fun fact: She’s referred to herself as a “bitch for God.”

Most people outside Minnesota don’t realize the term “Minnesota Nice” isn’t really a compliment. It usually means forwardly fake nice with a healthy dose of backhanded passive aggressiveness.

Thanks for the link.

Total dumpster fire!

I loved the part where she looked off stage—hoping some aide could rescue her with the name of El Presidente. ;-)

I spend a lot of time on Capitol Hill and that’s basically the rep of virtually every female senator. It is not (wasn’t, in this case) restricted to women or Democrats, however. Arlen Spector’s nickname all over the Hill was “Snarlin’ Arlen” - and with good reason.

I worked with a lot of folks from MN before retiring, and they were truly nice—great folks—honest to a fault, smart, team players, no back stabbing...unlike Klobo.
