Always says the right thing. We can absolutely count on him. Thank you, Pete Buttigieg.

Whitmer, Walz, Shapiro, Newsom, Kelly, Baldwin, AOC, and of course Buttigieg, to name just a few, would all be intriguing presidential options. We have a real deep bench, to use the sports analogy. President Harris will have a strong line of successors.

But thinking "it could also be David Hogg" depending what timeframe we're thinking about here.

yeah, the depth or our bench is heartening.

But he's just one amongst a boatload of talent for POTUS and VPOTUS in the future.

The Democrats could take their pick.

He's got all the makings of a great President. Someday I want to hear him be introduced as President Buttigieg. But then, eight years of Kamala Harris as President will probably be all that's left in this 78 year old body.
As of now, all I can do is dream it. Younger folks will have to make it so.

I'm tired of the "is America ready for a gay president" nonsense - Pete Buttigieg is an EXPERT at winning people over.
