I'll pass on Amy Klobuchar

She made a decent showing at the Kavanaugh hearing, but then we got word she's brutal with her staff.  She kinda sorta apologized, but now she's giving herself excuses.

Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) addressed allegations she mistreated staffers in an interview with CNN Thursday, saying she "can always do better" but adding that her toughness is a good thing.

"One can always do better, and that means you want to be sure that you are listening to people if they felt that something was unfair, or they felt bad about something. But I still think that you have to demand good product," she said, according to CNN.

There are ways to achieve that without browbeating your people.

The Minnesota Democrat also said her toughness can help her on the world stage. "When you're out there on the world stage and dealing with people like Vladimir Putin, yeah, you want someone who's tough," she added.

Talk about turning lemons into lemonade.

Former staffers have anonymously accused Klobuchar of workplace hostility, saying she frequently yelled at them and sometimes threw objects.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
