To the editor: I thought it was funny that both South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg and Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) think they are bringing their Midwestern values to the 2020 presidential campaign. Perhaps they both need to look back at the 2016 primaries in Indiana and Minnesota, both of which were won by Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.). Clearly the people of Indiana and Minnesota are leaning more to the left than either candidate wants to admit. It’s not just that he’s only 37 and his government experience is limited to serving as mayor of a medium-size city. Glenda Martel, Los Angeles..To the editor: Thanks to the L.A. Times for pointing out two very good alternatives for the Democratic nomination for president, Buttigieg and Klobuchar.
