I think Pete Buttigieg ought to be our next Presidential candidate.

1. In theory, Pete would be incredible

I just worry that the majority of voters in these dumbed down times are too stupid to appreciate Pete’s supreme qualifications.

The fact that around 70 million Americans voted for a fucking CONVICTED FELON does not inspire any confidence that the most qualified will indeed be elected into office.

But yeah, in an ideal world, Pete B.would be a tremendous President….

2. Not happening--ever. n/t

[CurtEastPoint]

3. Please explain why you feel that way

[Renew Deal]

5. He would be a great candidate

He’s a good communicator and cares about people. I’d love to see him go for senate.

[CurtEastPoint]

11. Yes. He is absolutely a terrific communicator. Senate, yes. President... yes.

4. Of the current potential candidates, he would be my choice today

Maybe someone else comes up between now and then, but Buttogieg is very impressive to me, even if I probably will never learn to spell his last name without looking it up.

6. Not happening.

I’m thinking Pritzker or Murphy. With AOC as VP. They are the ones fighting for us right now.

[Jack Valentino]

7. I think Pete ought to be our next VICE-Presidential candidate... (maybe)

We HAVE to win in 2028! Pete as the presidential nominee would be just too risky, IMHO,
although I would gladly vote for him if that were to happen...

8. i hope we have a big field to chose from.

a candidate for prez has a big soap box. the media cant ignore them.

9. For the love of God. No

I love the man but did you not realize we will not win anything without a straight white Christian male. Period

[iemanja]

10. I like Pete

But we Democrats need to figure out how to be an effective opposition party before we think about the next Presidential election.

Democrats infantilize themselves by focusing on the next daddy or mommy.

[Torchlight]

12. Democrats have a strong pool of experienced talent

Before committing to any one individual, I’d like to see who steps up and how the environment looks after the midterms.
