That guy scares the shit out of Sailor’s spank bank No.1 for sure. Fought in a war and got a real degree by working hard not ‘cause his daddy bought it. Scary shit, man. I like the Bootyszesz guy too
Very articulate,...shit.
Uhh, the former Insurance Commissioner from the State of Florida who founded some nonprofit no one's ever heard of is not that significant. Cherie Berry would be a bigger endorsement.
Buttigieg seems sharp and has a bright future, but Dem's aren't going to coalesce around a 30 something mayor for President.

His other main weakness is that he’s the 37-year old mayor of the fourth largest city in an insignificant state.
I keep thinking Pete is too young and too gay and will never win. But then I listen to him speak and I hear a future president. I think he has Obama like capacity to inspire people. He’s not as inspirational as Obama, but he seems to be the best the Dems have right now. I think Warren maybe has it too, but her voice quivers when she gets excited or emotional and it undermines her strength.
Why?
From what I’ve seen, everybody who knows about him likes him except for scared Bernie Bros. He’s got plenty of appeal across party elements. He’s new and fresh. He’s smart. He’s the only one I’ve seen so far with the potential to sell progressive policies beyond the progressive audience.
Getting an endorsement from Sean Shaw was a big get. Shaw won a competitive Dem primary which should help Pete win his. Shaw has a strong support from Tampa Democrats which is a must get for the primary. Gillum and Nelson probably won’t endorse soon. Same with AG commish Nikki Fried. Getting the first endorsement from the statewide 2018 Dem is definitely big and helps counter the “Pete struggles with black voters” narrative.
The Pubs killed the inexperienced and unqualified argument when the nominated and elected a reality tv star to the White House.
Ph, what progressive policies has Pete sold to non-progressive audiences? What is he doing that, say, Liz Warren isn't in regards to "selling" progressive policies?
