I have discovered that I have developed an addiction

I cant help myself. I trawl through youtube and click on anything that has Pete Buttigieg on. I now feel like a stalker He comes across as so entertainingly honest. So intelligent. I know I don't have a vote in your election, but if I did, he'd be the one who I would place my trust in running the free world.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden

I find myself wasting an entire evening online looking at his Youtube videos. (Do you have any favorites? I like his Ted talk - how many of the other candidates have done a Ted talk.)

I just finished watching part 1 and 2 of a town hall meeting. There isn't a question he cant answer. I enjoyed an answer he gave in regards to who he'd prefer as president - Trump or Pence. I'll just have to keep stalking him and check out his Ted talk. I have taken an interest in American elections since 1960 when Kennedy ran, but I've never come across anyone like him.

His ability & willingness to answer even the very complicated questions with thought out answers reminds me so much of President Obama! You don’t see “Mayor Pete” simply bullshitting in a clever way like many politicians do you can tell is extremely smart!

...I could be wrong, but I think I read Mayor Pete can speak FIVE languages well enough to hold conversations! …I could be mistaken him for someone else but I don’t think so.

Regardless the guy is AWESOME!!

AWESOME! LOL!

...I assume they take place at different locations & events around the nation & they can cover any topic in any field & so much more! Usually one person giving a speech/presentation of the latest in medical research or how social media has changed society, etc.

If you’re into GEEKIN OUT then search TED Talks on YouTube & subscribe!! You should enjoy most them.

He has that charisma (like Obama) which could bring his state along with him in a general election.

until Mayor Pete appeared on my TV screen. He has it all, all packaged up in one good looking body. Its a bit like everyone suggesting what they would like in a president. All the suggestions were thrown into a machine and then Mayor Pete appeared.
