Someone Well-Connected Secretive Research Firm Is Delivering Bodyblow After Bodyblow on Democratic Presidential Rivals

Now the Huffington Post has done all this research and investigation (sure, Jan) to bring you this news: Three people refused to work on Amy Klobuchar's presidential campaign because of her mistreatment of her current and past staffers.

At least three people have withdrawn from consideration to lead Sen. Amy Klobuchar’s (D-Minn.) nascent 2020 presidential campaign -- and done so in part because of Klobuchar's history of mistreating her staff, HuffPost has learned.

Klobuchar, who plans to make an announcement about a potential presidential bid on Sunday in Minneapolis, has spent the past several months positioning herself to run for president...

But some former Klobuchar staffers, all of whom spoke to HuffPost on condition of anonymity, describe Klobuchar as habitually demeaning and prone to bursts of cruelty that make it difficult to work in her office for long.

It is common for staff to wake up to multiple emails from Klobuchar characterizing one’s work as "the worst" briefing or press release she'd seen in her decades of public service, according to two former aides and emails seen by HuffPost.

Although some staffers grew inured to her constant put-downs ("It's always 'the worst,'" one said sarcastically, "It was 'the worst' one two weeks ago"), others found it grinding and demoralizing. Adding to the humiliation, Klobuchar often cc'd large groups of staffers who weren’t working on the topic at hand, giving the emails the effect of a public flogging.

So one's a Redface-wearing liar, one's a nasty bitch, and one's a whore who sleeps her way to the middle.

Everything's coming up Biden! Or maybe Booker. Or Beto.

By the way: The editor of an allegedly "conservative" magazine, Watching Your Wife Get Plowed By a Drifter, Seth "Soyboy Tintin" Mandel, is backing Klobuchar, now that he knows She Fights:

You'll also be surprised to hear that super-duper conservative Guy Benson (you can tell he's a conservative because he LARPs as one, what with his Snazzy Blue Blazers and all) is also a big fan of Klobuchar.

So many "conservatives"!

Yet some extremists disagree:
