Klobuchar started as a moderate and stuck with it [View all]

We have heard that the party has shifted to the left. Not true. Most of the new House members who flipped the seats are moderate. But as - to use a political phrase: Sanders and Warren sucked the oxygen - Harris and Booker tried to move along. And we now see the unfortunate results.

I think that Klobuchar and Biden - not sure about Buttigieg - remained steadfastly moderate, not buying the "freebies" offered by the others.

Yes, Castro, Bennet, Delaney are moderate, too, but unfortunately got lost in the leftist fervor.
