Depending on the next two states, I may jump to Bloomberg and stick with him until the convention.

She was very impressive. (I have a selfie with her.)

I wouldn't mind supporting her but I'm worried that NH was her last hurrah.

On voting for environment? Someone posted for all the candidates and she was the lowest, really surprised me.

Paris Climate Accord: Klobuchar has stated that she would have the U.S. rejoin the Paris Climate Accord. Source In November 2018, Klobuchar was one of 25 Democratic senators to cosponsor a resolution in response to findings of the Intergovernmental Panel On Climate Change report and National Climate Assessment. The resolution affirmed the senators’ acceptance of the findings and their support for bold action to address climate change. Source

Green New Deal: ““I think they are aspirations. I think we can get close. I don’t think we are going to get rid of entire industries in the US. This is put out there, as an aspiration, in that it’s something that we need to move toward. Do I think we could cross every ‘t’ and dot every ‘i’ in 10 years? Actually, I think that would be very difficult to do.” Source

New Energy: “We must commit ourselves to protecting our environment and preserving our natural resources for generations to come. We also need to chart a new energy future – one that creates jobs, reduces our dependence on foreign oil, increases domestic energy production, keeps energy costs affordable for all Americans, and responds to the challenges of global climate change.” Source

Climate Legislation: Klobuchar was a lead sponsor of America’s Water Infrastructure Act of 2018, an Act to provide for improvements to the rivers and harbors of the United States, to provide for the conservation and development of water and related resources, to provide for water pollution control activities, and for other purposes. Source

Carbon Reduction: In December 2014, Klobuchar was one of six Democratic senators to sign a letter to the Environmental Protection Agency urging the agency to give states more time to comply with its rule on power plants as the final rule “must provide adequate time for the design, permitting and construction of such large scale capital intensive infrastructure” and calling for an elimination of the 2020 targets in the final rule, a mandate that states take action by 2020 as part of the EPA’s goal to reach a 30 percent carbon cut by 2030. Source

Environmental Record: Klobuchar has a 95% rating from the League of Conservation Voters, based on her voting record. Source

But she did mention environmental issues in her speech to us,mostly about how you can protect the environment and create good union jobs simultaneously. (It was a union convention.) It was a good way to bridge that gap for the average worker afraid of lowering wages and taught to fear that protections=job loss.

But I’m thinking Joe shows up in Nevada and wins South Carolina decisively and we’re back on track. It’s early yet but Amy is my next person up of he falters.

Amy second.....I have no interest in Bloomberg...…..we do not need another millionaire business man in the White House.

Waiting for Nevada and SC primary before i entertain any backup

Elizabeth's campaign is waning. Bernie has better than a 50% chance of getting the nod. I am very worried about that because Trump will attack him viciously AND, it is my sense that too many people are worried when Socialist is in the name...."Democratic Socialist" does not seem to work. I could be wrong and I hope I am. In general, I like his policies.

was responding to. If both drop out I’m not sure who would be left to choose from. I’ll worry about that when that time comes.

That might be easier if I actually knew who my first choice is. I hate primary season!!! 😭

I was actually leaning toward Biden, but I've cooled toward him a bit now. I like all of the others sans Bernie.

But if Bernie is the nominee, I'll vote for him.

It's going to be hard for me to finally make up my mind and put a checkmark next to a name before our March primary, but I will definitely figure it out and be there to vote!

So I’ll see who’s still in by the time I get to vote on April 7th.

Maybe my liking someone is the kiss of death for their campaign. If it weren’t, maybe Kamala and Cory would still be in it! 🤷🏼?♀️ So I won’t curse Pete or Elizabeth or Amy or anyone else by declaring for them. 🙈🙉🙊

Pete Buttigieg, I believe, would make the very best President. There is something to what some say that he was born for this.
Bloomberg is making a play and I LOVE what he is doing to Trump. Some feel he is too old (78). Fine. Bloomberg/Buttigieg. It will make a hell of a campaign button.

Btw, I like both of them.

Although Pete would be a great choice, too.

Bloomberg is the only one at this point pounding away the real enemy, so I hope he's in for the long haul. Bernie simply can't shed the socialist thing, and that will do him in.

If Pete drops out I want to say Sanders but I won’t lie. All the Sanders bashing about he can’t beat Trump is working on me. I’m seconding guessing myself. Same thing I did in 2016. Listen to the scare tactics that Bernie can’t win and watched Hillary go down.

If I don’t vote for Sanders than Bloomberg cause I do not think Biden would have any chance of beating Trump. I don’t think Warren can either. Not sure on Amy yet but my guess is if Pete’s out so is Amy.

I vote in PA so I have some time. Sanders is my heart choice - Bloomberg is my head.

She is not so distant from Sanders on a lot of things.

Early voting starts here Tuesday... I need to make up my mind if I'm hitting it early, or if I'm giving this some more time to flesh out before I vote. I really hate to wait, though. I want it locked in just in case I get hit by a bus or something.

I'm for Amy now. And an Amy-Pete ticket is my hope for the future of the country.

I also really liked Castro. In this crowded primary neither ever had a chance.

I’m on choice #2 now, and still a bit bitter about it. If Biden drops then Warren will probably be gone, and I think Klobuchar has already peaked, so Buttigieg maybe?

Luckily that’s all academic as Joe will almost certainly still be in on Super Tuesday when my state votes, so I won’t have to make the hard choice.

I find his intelligence and ability to quickly synthesis information an extremely strong point. An actual genius as president could do wonders for our country, and I trust his character to know what he doesn't know and to find the right people to act as advisors.

Tennessee allows early voting, so my wife and I cast our votes yesterday. So if Buttigieg drops out, he still has my vote locked in. But no worries. I know what’s at stake and will back whoever earns the nomination.

Is the only one bringing a gun to a gun fight. He'll go there, bring the receipts, and carve trump up for Thanksgiving.

if she drops out and Amy Klobuchar is doing well, I'd switch to her. I'm not wild about gazillionaires buying the election, but my next choice would probably be Bloomberg. We need to win. I'd like to see him in at least one debate first, though.

If Sanders dropped out I would support Warren if she is still in, if not I would show up to GE and hold my nose for whoever is left to go against Trump, but other than those 2 I can't say I honestly would be enthusiastic about any of the options other than those 2.

And if she drops out after Pete, then it will be Bloomberg. I was with Bernie in 2016, but I think tRump will eviscerate him in the media.

Bernie.

That's the problem. Everyone should have a backup.

I'm going straight to Bloomberg, unless there's a Joe or Amy Miracle on Super Tuesday.

and anyone who can win.

Unless Klobuchar has enough forward momentum to carry her over the finish line, I'll throw my support behind Bloomberg. I switched from Warren to Buttigieg after Iowa.

Bloomberg is earning his support by using his money to relentlessly attack Trump. Bloomberg could attack fellow democrats, but he is not. I see more mud-slinging at one another by the other candidates who have been running against one another for months. It's off-putting.

Plus, Bloomberg is the only candidate who is paying to advertise in Georgia. He is in the race for the long haul.

I will not vote for Klobuchar, Biden or Bloomberg in the primary.

I’m all in for whoever gets the nomination.

I think this is still a good discussion.
