his is just more intelligent than anyone in the race. I trust him making good decisions and uniting the country. I like his democratic capitalism direction for the country. If he can get the nomination, his perfect running mate is Stacey Abrams. Also youngish and shares democratic capitalism philosophy. Pete is also more prepared than anyone else to be commander in chief.

both to democratic capitalism and to having Stacey Abrams for Pete's VP. What a combination!

Abrams on the ticket will calm down at least half of BS supporters and will supercharge the base, perhaps, even more than Obama did in 2008; EW supporters are far more flexible.
Pete is unique in his appeal to independent voters and even “moderate conservatives” that are important voting block in all swing states but especially in FL and AZ.

I also like the idea of Stacey Abrams as VP, but, above all, I trust Pete to make a fresh and appropriate choice when –yes, WHEN –the time comes.

Above all, he's not only WAY more suited to be commander in chief than any of his rivals. I'd go further to say that he's the only one with all the qualifications – both experience AND excellent judgment and insight and ability to think on his feet– needed for C in C. (Joe of course has deep experience, but I have more doubts about the judgment and insight part).

He looks, sounds and acts like the president I am hoping for. And I love the idea of Stacey Abrams on the ticket with him. Just imagine the debates! Just imagine our future as a nation. Pete Buttigieg just has that certain "something" that conveys serious, presidential leadership. He is so reasonable and generates both hope and serenity. What a contrast with the chaos and idiocy of Trump! I hope Pete wins the Democratic nomination and, finally, the general election. We desperately need a person like this, and after what we have gone through and are now going through, we deserve a president like Pete Buttigieg.

He soared. And the energy of the crowd was almost as thrilling.

since the moment he came into my view that he is by far our most qualified choice for president. No one can fill that position better on any level.
