      We are watching in real time as @PeteButtigieg tries to transition from inspirational movement candidate to moderate, electable alternative to Biden. https://twitter.com/adamwren/status/1173225295572324352 …

      To be fair, I think moderate Dems do need a Plan B in case Biden falters. It's a good niche although I'm not sure Mayor Pete is a perfect fit (for reasons you indicate).

          Amy Klobuchar is the perfect alternative, bc she is actually moderate and stands by her moderate beliefs, unlike Pete who will say and do the most politically expedient thing at any given moment

          Isn’t it amazing how her name doesn’t come up often in this regard? I just don’t know what to make of it. She’d be a great Dem Candidate in the General imvho.

          I have a dream that politicians in a democratic society stop triangulating their positions and speak their mind. #BernieSanders2020

          If you want experience an inch deep, vote for Pete. Anyone with brains would shift to Klobuchar.

          Moderate Dems need to get with the times and realize incrementalism is not the path forward.

          Can we realize that once we have some control over government other than oversight hearings that turn into court litigation over subpoenas (at best)?
