I think he is bright and may be a good choice in the future but I don’t think at this moment in time he has enough ideas, or experiences to be the nominee.

Now that hasn’t stop others in the past from running and winning and should he be the nominee I would vote for him over Trump.

Agree I think Warren has surprised me the most with her policies and I think she will move up 2hen debates start and more are exposed to her ideas.

BootyJudge made it sound like he was a seasoned war veteran in the front lines. He was a driver for some officers for six months. Someone who was stationed at the same place said the base was known for the best bread in Iraq! Not a hardship assignment.

sorry, but you've got that backwards. I would never vote for a candidate based on his/her sexual preference/orientation, but Mayor Pete is proof positive that the Dims will. What else does he have to garner national support? Nothing. Nothing at all.

Wow way to slander him. Well at the very least he didn’t avoid serving our country.

True, unlike someone who had their daddy pay off a doctor so he didn’t have to serve. I respect people that are against war, I am too, but I hate lying idiots who have the audacity to trash someone that was actually in a war fighting for us!

Yang will crush them both.

That's what you SAY but then you spend your time accusing others of doing exactly what you did when your emotions allowed you to vote for Trump.

Quite a few folks in my neck of the woods (PNW) are sporting Pete for President bumper stickers. Also popular are Sanders and Warren.
