Every time I hear Mayor Buttigieg I am inspired all over again.

His intellect is comforting. No one will ever hear him suggest we drop nuclear bombs on hurricanes.

The vision he laid out in June
https://www.apnews.com/831cacb28d95400baa2c57188abb5da8
was the most thoughtful, informed and coherent that has been presented by any of the candidates, winning plaudits from most sides of the political spectrum. If the does not succeed in securing the nomination, Pete would be a superb SoS. IMO he is the most gifted and assured communicator in this race. If I wanted a representative to stay on point and make a position crystal clear, without aggression, Pete would be first choice.

with a Warren/Buttigieg ticket. I realize it's not likely but it's also not impossible...

...is that she exhibits more passion. I think Pete is at the top for appealing to the brain, but Warren is stronger at appealing to the heart, and we need both to appeal to the full range of voters. Pete is pure Spock, and we could use a bit of Kirk, too.

This is another great appearance, though. And kudos to the oft-maligned Chuck Todd for a reasonable array of questions and a well handled interview.

a smart well spoken educated veteran with good ideas because he's too young or not seasoned. I think he's great and at this point is who is getting my vote.

He was my first choice. I guess I would like to see a Warren/Buttigieg ticket.
