      Dan McLaughlin Retweeted Henry Olsen

      It was not hard to notice the gender subtext of an experienced woman visibly digging her nails into the podium as a smooth, younger, inexperienced man sailed by her on a stream of platitudes. And viewers at home could tell that Klobuchar's barely-contained rage was genuine.https://twitter.com/henryolsenEPPC/status/1230527805093556226 …

      Henry Olsen @henryolsenEPPC
      The mostly male pundit class panned @amyklobuchar's ripostes with @PeteButtigieg last night. I'll bet women saw it completely differently. Far from dooming her, this could be the fuel that propels her into the top tier. My latest for @PostOpinions - https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/02/20/forget-minnesota-nice-amy-klobuchars-rage-is-exactly-what-she-needs-right-now/ …

      The identity-politics obsession of Democrats and their pundit class is, as I've often noted, unhealthy, overblown, & frequently disingenuous. But that sort of thing *is* real sometimes. It's quite obvious with the Klobuchar-Buttigieg dynamic.

      The other part Klobuchar didn't quite say but hinted at, on the Lopez Obrador thing: she's almost 60. Not old, but old enough to have the occasional whatsisname moments. Pete isn't, & clearly can't imagine that a person might occasionally forget a name they know.

          That part, I think, was screamingly obvious to everyone over 50 who watched that exchange.

          Agreed. I think it wins Klobuchar sympathy with professional women, but I'll be surprised if it actually moves the campaign needle in any meaningful way.https://twitter.com/LPDonovan/status/1230531532592381952 …

          suspect it does resonate with women, but not sure it moves votes quite like producing Bloomberg's head on a pike. problem for Klobuchar is that Warren had a much better performance overall--inversion of NH. pete is a useful avatar, but he's also not the guy you need to beat.

          Because 50 year old female professionals are a core democrat constituency and they are likely turned off by the social dynamics described above

          She didn’t know *anything* about Obrador. And resorting to the juvenile sarcasm of “We can’t all be as perfect as you, Pete” was a really bad look.

          I was simply impressed that Pete knew the Mexican President’s name. I was indifferent among a few candidates actually and it moved the needle just enough that I ended up voting for him absentee in SC. That said, I certainly don’t think Steyer or Amy are stupid or that...

          really it’s even some sort of huge concern that they couldn’t come up with his name. I’m bad with names myself but am good with faces. I would know the Mexican President’s face for ex if I saw it, but I still can’t remember his name. But I’m impressed with Pete’s working memory.

          It’s not forgetting the name. It’s kicking over the chessboard when it was brought up instead having a rebuttal

          Rick Perry also had a “moment” but people identifying with that didn’t save him
