Missed the beginning but heard about half hour of him fielding complex questions from University students. His answers were well thought out, detailed and well delivered. Like Obama, he speaks in paragraphs.

Now that he's got some federal experience under his belt I see him as a viable Presidential candidate.

1. Pete is very impressive. He'd make a great VP to further prove and

build on his credentials, then on to POTUS.

[Meadowoak]

2. our first gay President, I hope.

[Woodswalker]

8. How bout because he's smart and he's qualified

[Meadowoak]

11. Of course, that too, but as a gay man, it be nice to see an LGBTQ

President in my lifetime.

3. Is this country mature enough to

elect a gay man? We certainly were not mature enough to elect Hillary, one of the best qualified candidates of all time.

Pete is incredible. He would make a wonderful President.

[ItsjustMe]

5. We certainly were not mature enough to elect Hillary

Hillary Clinton did win the popular vote by over 2.86 million votes.

7. Had it not been for Comey's constant efforts to destroy her, she would have won quite decisively.

[Meadowoak]

12. +1

6. James Comey dominated that election from start to finish. (eom)

[CentralMass]

4. He is always impressive in front of the camera. I would imagine his IQ is very high..

Magna Cum Laude from Havard, Rhodes Scholar. Served military intelligence, etc..

[EndlessWire]

10. Secretary Pete is working his butt off

on behalf of the nation. He is certainly going to know the infrastructure quite well. He's been everywhere.

[JohnSJ]

13. Buttigieg is definitely impressive

[Simeon Salus]

14. Because Pete's a conventional Indiana politician, I'd expect him to run for governor in 2024

He's been a popular mayor. He was a high IQ presidential candidate. Doing a great job (and not shy about appearing reasonable on Fox) now in the cabinet.

Excellent in-state reputation and well-liked. Deep roots in the South Bend/Notre Dame community.

Holcomb has been the bully you'd expect Pence to hand-pick, and is term-limited out in 2024.

Pete wins two terms as governor. Would be 50 in 2032. I'd expect him to run again then.

Of course, he could be vice-president under Harris first.

[Crepuscular]

15. ...

He no longer lives in Indiana, he moved to Michigan.

[Demsrule86]

17. My son lives in Indiana...it would be a miracle if he won the goverorship...It is a deep red state

any you are talking about a state-wide race. Personally, I think we are in the fight of our lives to get and keep rights for women and for LGBTQ...SCOTUS just ruled to allow firing for essentially being Gay. I hope I see a woman president and a Gay president in my lifetime but I am not optimistic. There is a big fight coming as Joe puts it for the soul of America. We have to win.

16. Mr. Stevenson, you will have the vote of every thinking person.
