Some of you are terribly soft. I'd like to have some of you subjected to one single Bobby Knight tirade. You'd have prescribe PTSD therapy for yourselves.

Could Amy Klobuchar's mistreatment of staff lead to sabotage of her ambitions of higher office ?
We all know there is the public and the private perception and they don't always match.
If she can't respect her own staff how in the world would she respect the tens of millions of people she doesn't personally know ?
On Friday evening, HuffPost published a story filled with new allegations, including that she required staff to perform personal duties such as washing dishes. Such a demand would be in violation of the Senate’s rules and federal law against personal use of the office, it said.
The left will pretend to care about Klobuchar's mis treatment of staff (especially if they are women/minorities) unless Klobuchar somehow gets filtered down to being a viable nominee.
Then she will become a superhero crusader for all, especially women/minorities, amd any criticism of her, however valid, will be due only to white male patriarchy and misogyny. Get with the program, will ya?

Did we forget Hillary/2016 so quickly?
Er, HuffPo and the Left is already attacking her because she isn't "left enough" and is too willing to work with Republicans. Try and keep up.
This reminds me of the way I used to exasperatedly roll my eyes at news reports saying "John McCain has a temper!" or "Hillary McCain has a temper!" So what? Anyone who aims for high office is going to lose their temper sometimes.
In this particular case, AK is already a senator, and it's premature to already assume she'll run for higher office. There aren't that many offices higher than senator.
As to your silly question of "If she can't respect her own staff how in the world would she respect the tens of millions of people she doesn't personally know ?" - Everyone tends to treat employees differently from constituents/clients. That's how modern life works. We treat different roles differently. Surely you yourself treat your family differently from strangers.
I'd be sorry if she "reduced" people to tears, but god knows I've seen that in the private sector, so I wouldn't expect government to be any different.

It's hilarious to watch Trump supporters accuse her of being a 'bad boss'.
She comes across like the nicest person in the world. IF 'being mean' is her biggest worry - I think she's good
That original HuffPo story on this is a joke. My question is: were her staffers that were "reduced to tears" females or males? Until not long ago, I would've automatically known the answer. In times like these, I can't say for sure. (Not to bring this back to "millennialism")
She sounds like a tough boss. Good for her. I liked the bit about tardy notices for her staffers. Show up on time. It's rude to waste other's.
From what I read, she yelled at several and threw a briefing book down a table.
Not sure how how being a boss who expects staff to do their jobs is going to sabotage her campaign, but if that's the best righties can find on her, it is going to be slim pickings.

Can a Trump supporter ask such a question without looking like a hypocrite?
Not only is she a bitter b..ch, I couldn’t vote for someone that looks like her...she’s angry!
So “Resting ***** Face” is now a conservative disqualifier, why am I not surprised.
