I keep saying. That if Democrats want to beat Trump, Pete Buttigieg is the type of guy they should run. Trump will absolutely tear apart any career establishment Democrat out there. Remember he took down the Bush and Clinton political dynasties. Between them, 5 presidential wins.
He didn't take down any dynasties. Lol. I'm pretty sure Biden could romp him in the general. A Biden/Buttigieg ticket would be awesome. Mayor Pete vs. Pence in the debate would be great!!
Yeah--Isn't it GREAT!!? He is not the flavor of the month--he is in this for the long haul.
A smart pragmatic guy, voluntary Afghanistan vet who speaks 7 languages (even more than Melania!), is a Harvard grad and Rhodes Scholar, a gay guy who has been elected to lead a midwestern working class town for 8 consecutive years and is under 40.
Discount him at your peril. He is the future. Trump is the past.
Iowa caucus is in a little more than nine months from now.
Makes no difference in what I said.
For instance, America's political world changed entirely from the eleventh to the twelfth of September, 2001.
More important for voters to know at this point than a specific policy is a candidates beliefs and desires. No president is going to actually be able to do all that he wants to do, and he probably won't get anything done in the way he wants it done. Both physical and political reality gets in the way.
I want to know what kind of human being he is. I want to know what sort of America he thinks is ideal. I don't need his roadmap, I just need to know his intended destination.

I’m not young or center-left, but I really like Buttigieg. He’s reasonable, smart, educated and well-spoken. He’d be a much better President than Trump.
He seems to be everything that Trump isn’t—a good, decent person. If you listen to the town hall he had with Anderson Cooper on CNN, he did outlay some policies. At this early stage, I’m looking for someone who can bring the country together. Also someone smart and well-spoken, which Buttigieg definitely is, and Trump most certainly is not. We have many months to learn more about him and the others running. I say listen and see what you think.
I suggest you check out Andrew Yang. He is also well spoken and someone who can ring this country together. In addition to that, he has outlined 70 policies he’d work to implement and the idea of redefining the definition of GDP to include some human measurement.
Buttigieg is the chosen candidate but Hilary was also chosen- doesn’t mean it’s the right candidate.
