Senator Amy Klobuchar: Mitch McConnell Puts Party Ahead Of Democracy | Morning Joe | MSNBC

I love how Joe is doubling down on the Moscow Mitch thing.

He should be tripling down on it. Don’t let Mitch off the hook, dude. 👍

"Mitch McConnell is a man that knows less about Russia and Russian influence than even Donald Trump. And I know nothing." - Donald Trump

The president makes no logical sense at all.

[Thinksterboomster]

Mitch McConnell is rooting for Russia...

[Jan]

Senator Klobuchar makes sense. Americans need a reality check. I appreciate that NBC is putting on some of the candidates who were over-looked last night and didn't get to say as much as other candidates because they weren't asked questions and stuck within their minute time.

Claire McCaskill and Amy Klobuchar. Nauseatingly moderate.
They have the appeal of midwestern Jello salad.

The wealthy will still pay so as they don't have to deal with normal real people.

That's how it works here in the uk. Can't pay, that's OK, you don't have to not get health care or higher education. I don't understand why Americans find this concept so hard.

[stevewarwick]

You sounded quite desperate, Amy. Dropping out is the best option for you.

[v.britton]

Trace all that Russian money..through the NRA and through the oligarchs.

[apestronauts]

Klobuchar polling at a whopping 0%! Go girl!😂🤦

[kimk]

Just her College statement alone is asinine she doesn't want to send the rich 1% people to college. I mean, in itself it's only 1% were talking about 99% of the country that needs help.

[radwulfeboraci]

Moscow Mitch has used the Senate as his personal weapon to undermine democracy and freeze a duly elected Congress. He has used it to disenfranchise voters and increase gerrymandering. He has stated publicly his next victim will be seniors pensions and medicare. McConnell is a seditious worm who is out to destroy American democracy.

[architeuthis]

Hey, Klobuchar, I live in Minneapolis and I'm voting for Warren/Sanders for president. Just like I voted against you every time you ran for Senate.
Why? Because you're further to the right than Reagan or Nixon and because I have friends who have told me what its like to work for you. If you plan to run this country anything like the way you run your office, you have no business being in any kind of leadership position.
Save yourself the embarrassment and drop out now.

[dtlegacy]

Stop blocking those who are trying to protect our votes! I liking voting and I don't want my vote to be violated.

[davidellis]

Amy could pull off an Iowa suprise and she is always a thorn in the side of Moscow Mitch. A definite positive !

[Arlenez]

Why isn't it illegal to block bills from being voted on?!! . Why does the Senate leader have that power?!!

[hubgiles]

That's just Klobuchar making good sense, in which the other 9 should take note. Perhaps they all may learn from each other. Any one on this stage can make Trump wet his pants.

[trentgay]

Its Moscow mitch because its recently been proven that the turtle ancestry he has is Russian swamp turtle.

[umbrella]

Go away, Claire. The way of pushing for legislation is outdated. If you want progressive policies enacted (by the way, the vast majority of American VOTERS want), you create a political movement that energizes people across this country to keep their elected officials accountable. If Americans want to universal healthcare coverage and believe health care is a human right, we would have already implemented a system that ensures every man, woman, and child healthcare coverage.

What is wrong with the system is the greed of politicians and corporate interests. People like Claire would never vote for a Medicare for All bill because she is beholden to her donors. She doesn't put the interests her constituents.

[Boobalopbop]

Amy, please just stay in the Senate! We need your vote and your voice! What you just exposed about the Russian interference is more important than anything you've said in these debates

[ColonelKlink]

Joe should shut up and listen instead of interrupting. Senator Klobuchar was doing just fine telling us about the traitorous things that McConnell has been getting away with.
