Klobuchar "Missed minority outreach?"

From an analysis - in her home newspaper - on her debate performance:

Some party insiders saw a missed opportunity to address minority outreach and the controversy surrounding law enforcement in the black community.

“Someone needs to help Amy Klobuchar talk about racial disparities and voter engagement of key Democratic communities,” Will Hailer, a D.C.-based Democratic consultant who has worked with several Minnesota politicians, wrote on Twitter.

In a follow-up e-mail, Hailer stressed that while Klobuchar “looked Presidential” in the debate, “her answer on that question didn’t match her work in the community.”

Minnesota lacks the large constituencies of color that comprise Democratic coalitions in the home states of many of Klobuchar’s rivals. Party leaders have identified it as a possible hazard to her long-term chances.
