Amy Klobuchar is a long shot candidate to get the democratic nomination, but she made her plight much worse when she was asked a simple question by a Telemundo reporter and failed badly.
Steyer and Klobuchar did not know the name of the president of Mexico, in interviews w/ @TelemundoNews

“I forget,” says Steyer.
"Can you tell me his name?"
Klobuchar: “No."

Wow. She fails, and so does Tom Steyer. The only one who gets it is little Mayor Pete!
I’m generally not a fan of these kinds of “gotcha” questions, mostly because they’re usually reserved for Republicans, but in this case I think it’s fair. You’re talking a Spanish language news outlet, don’t you think it’s wise to prepare for that and brush up on Latin-American issues? And Mexico is a YUGE trading partner with the US, AND you need to deal with the border issue. Perhaps it helps to know who the president is?
