Answers:
Amy Klobuchar. Yes, the Minnesota Senator is the answer to all 10 questions. Although she has a tough row to hoe in the campaign for president, if successful she would not only be the nation's first female chief executive but also the most candid and refreshingly down to earth.
To put it another way: President Klobuchar will not spend her weekends riding a golf cart at any place resembling Mar-a-Lago.
