A brief post from me. I just couldn’t pass up posting this quote from Andrew Sullivan regarding a Mayor Pete/Dumpf throwdown;
Andrew Sullivan: “Trump would be the oldest president in history at 74; Buttigieg would be the youngest at 39. Trump landed in politics via his money and celebrity after years in the limelight; Buttigieg is the mayor of a midsize midwestern town, unknown until a few weeks ago. Trump is a pathological, malevolent narcissist from New York, breaking all sorts of norms. Buttigieg is a modest, reasonable pragmatist, and a near parody of normality. Trump thrives on a retro heterosexual persona; Buttigieg appears to be a rather conservative, married homosexual. Trump is a coward and draft dodger; Buttigieg served his country. Trump does not read; Buttigieg does. Trump’s genius is demonic demagoguery. Buttigieg’s gig is careful reasoning. Trump is a pagan; Buttigieg is a Christian. Trump vandalizes government; Buttigieg nurtures it.”
“To put it simply, Mayor Pete seems almost designed to expose everything that makes the country tired of Trump.”
I was strongly impacted by another Kossack post about their conservative Drumpf-luvin dad was open to Buttigieg because of how he presented himself and his arguments. While he isn’t my first choice at this point (Warren or Harris) he’s definitely on my radar. We have many candidates who could make great presidents. Given that, we should choose one who also matches up well with Dire Leader-hosen. Above all, we need to take him down...decisively.
