Next time, please spare us the view of the sausage making and make a damn choice.

I’ve been reading the transcripts of the interviews that the editorial board conducted with several of the major Democratic candidates for president. Until your interview with Pete Buttigieg, they were, for the most part, friendly and collegial. The interview with Mr. Buttigieg, which started with his stint at McKinsey & Company, was so hostile that it took my breath away. You would have thought his joining McKinsey as an entry-level employee was the equivalent of his traveling off to Syria to join ISIS.

To the Editor:

Bravo! Great job! You bucked tradition and, as far as I’m concerned, you nailed it. I could feel the editorial board’s passion about this election and the need for change in the explanation of why you made your choices. Yes! May the best woman win.

To the Editor:

After reading your Feb. 23 article “Klobuchar’s Taunts and Temper Stand Out in Sea of Tough Bosses,” I cannot agree with your endorsement. This describes a fatal flaw in her personality. Can you imagine her in high-level meetings berating people who displease or disagree with her? If she cannot even handle her aides diplomatically, she should not lead the nation. We do not need this after what we have been through with President Trump.

I fear that your desire for a woman president has swayed your decision.

To the Editor:

As a strong supporter of Senator Elizabeth Warren, I suppose I should be unconditionally delighted that she shares in your endorsement for the Democratic nomination. But I am concerned that you have described the race as one between a radical and a realist.

The Democrats offer a choice between centrists with realistic goals and progressives with realistic goals. Ms. Warren has the clearest plans for accomplishing hers, as you noted. Each will have an easier time accomplishing these if Democrats win more Senate seats; each is likely to encounter problems along the way; each will take us toward a better world.

Senator Amy Klobuchar has tried to make the case that she is a realist in a world of extremists — Donald Trump on the one hand, Ms. Warren and Bernie Sanders on the other — setting up a bizarre false equivalency. There is nothing unrealistic about Ms. Warren or her plans.
