I myself an extreme liberal Democrat and resent the attack on a great party by those that call them "Demorats", "Dimocrats" or "Dumbocrats." I wish their Presidential candidates could collectively govern the U.S. given the inspirational brilliance and coherence of their program. For example they will give us back the environment, free health care for all and utopian Nirvana.
So Mayor Pete is a national player for the Democrats now. If he wins Iowa, everyone will need to refigure their projections going forward, because that will change everything.
The Democrats are not really going to nominate this guy, are they?

He would be a great choice imo. And his message would serve the country well in trying to bring us back together post-Trump.

Mayor Pete is polling around 2% nationally among black voters. I don't think he has a snowball's chance of getting through the D primaries.
He's too young and inexperienced, even for the VP slot IMO. He should run for congress, serve several terms, and then maybe run for president.
That's a fair point, I've said the same thing about the old playbook.
However, Pete Buttigieg is 37; Trump was 70 in 2016. There's more to 'experience' than having served in government.
JFK at age 43 was the youngest president ever elected. He was a sitting Senator and prior to that had served 3 terms in the US House.
I just can't see the country electing a guy who is 37 and mayor of a city of about 100,000 population.
Then again, as you say, I never would have guessed Trump winning the White House.
At the risk of sounding like a bigot, Are we going to pretend that being a gay 'Christian' doesn't kind of conflict? specially if we're talking about appealing to a good portion of our country which still happens to have conservative evangelical beliefs.
Not only is he too young imho but he lacks originality and the fact that he plagiarized Andrew Yang's speech (a candidate polling at less than 5%) its quite worrisome to me.
So sure he may be spending millions in Iowa but i personally don't see him getting anywhere, I'll comeback to this when the democratic nominee has been chosen to say i told you so.
