Klobuchar: Bloomberg’s Wrong Saying That the Current Dem Candidates Are Not Good Enough

‘I think I am the strongest person, being from the heartland, the place that we need to win’

RUSH EXCERPT:

KLOBUCHAR: “Very incorrect. I’m gaining momentum all of the time. We’re doubling offices in Iowa. We got an extraordinary amount of help after the last debate raising $2.1 million at Amy klobuchar.com in just six days so we’re building an operation that can win. And I have the most endorsements of anyone in Iowa of any of the candidates. Stepping back to this assertion from his spokesperson, I have seen a lot of excitement about all of our candidates. I think all of them have served our country and in one way or another and when people look at the White House and see this multi-millionaire including by the way independents and moderate Republicans and now he’s messing up so many things, I don’t think they say oh, we need someone richer. I don’t think that, Jake. I think you have to earn votes and not buy them. And I certainly welcome mayor Bloomberg to the race. He’s done incredible work on gun safety, on environmental issues. And it is work of merit. But I don’t think you gist waltz in and say in stead of I’m good enough to be president, your argument is the other people aren’t good enough that is not how we’ve been conducting the debates. We’re having legitimate debates about who is the strongest person. I think I have the strongest person being from the heartland the place that we need to win. Being the one that has won every red and purple congressional district over and over again and someone who can govern from strength and gotten through the gridlock of Washington. I’m looking forward to debating mayor Bloomberg about that and not if he comes in to say the rest of the field is not good enough.”
