Democratic Primaries

(17,305 posts)I selected my DU handle based on Justin Trudeau. I was inspired by him. He got elected and seemed to do many great things but with another federal election looming in Canada, Trudeau has faltered. He's facing a couple of scandals -- not Trumpian-level shenanigans but things that are damaging to his integrity.
I pondered requesting a DU name change but someone suggested that if anyone asks whether my DU screen name is in reference to Justin Trudeau, I reply that it's actually a tribute to Garry Trudeau of Doonesbury fame. So that's now my official answer (and you know the backstory).
I firmly believe what you wrote about Pete Buttigieg is accurate. I have no doubts that he's sincere, a bona fide political luminary in the making. One who WILL become president, hopefully in 2020 but maybe in 2024. His day is coming.
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
