I hear Amy Klobuchar  is tough on her subordinates, her staff. And I wonder what that means…exactly. I think it means she’s a bit of a bitch, a diva, or perhaps a shrew. I suspect it doesn’t mean she’s an effective, no nonsense leader who knows who she is, who knows what she wants, and expects those who work for her to be an extension of her philosophy. Naw…not that. And trust that Trump will seize on every opportunity to make her appear small and petty, you know, like him. But somehow he gets out in front of the slinging of slime and nothing sticks to his Teflon ass.

If Amy is indeed a tough, demanding leader who inspires loyalty and a desire for greatness, she will need every ounce of intestinal fortitude to prevail. But more than that, she will need a plan of attack. She will have to break through the noise that is the Trump machine and do it in a way that makes her look good and strong, not weak and damaged. And that is a tall order. Trump was successful in so damaging Hillary that the country may not have the stomach for another female contender.

If the only sane, free thinking people in the country are all in Bill Maher’s audience on. Friday night, I’m thinking that may not be enough.
