USA Today: "Sen. Amy Klobuchar has emerged as the most aggressive critic of Trump in the debate, attacking the president on immigration, the economy and Iran."

Politico: "Amy Klobuchar got one of the biggest applause lines of the night."

Miami Herald: "Klobuchar used nearly every answer to direct fire at Trump."

New York Times: "Elizabeth Warren and Amy Klobuchar were the stars of the night... Klobuchar had some of the best lines, including her critique on Donald Trump's Iran agenda: 'I don't think we should conduct foreign policy in our bathrobe at 5 in the morning.'"

Boston Globe: "If I had to pick one winner from last night, I'd say it was Amy Klobuchar. She was crisp, smart, and confident..."

Washington Post: "[Klobuchar] was one of the debate standouts, making the case calmly and persistently for a public option, cautioning against free college for rich kids and hammering at drug prices... Winners: NBC moderators (who covered a huge amount of ground and wasted no time on silly queries) ... and Klobuchar."

The New Republic: "Miami Moonglow for Booker and Klobuchar... Klobuchar managed the difficult trick of appearing both firm and likable."

Des Moines Register: "Winners: Sen. Amy Klobuchar. Klobuchar had some zingers. The Minnesota senator was quick to pop in with one-liners that were memorable, catchy and pointed. Klobuchar bashed Trump for saying he would bring down drug prices, something she said the president has yet to do."
