Mayor Pete Buttigieg was on TMZ today [WATCH 9 minute video]:

He has been on TMZ before. Different audience for him, but he is so good answering questions no matter who is interviewing him. Some lighthearted moments here too.

discusses:

guns (re Beto's answer last night)
gaffes -- biden vs. trump
vaping
diversity in X-Men movies
fur vs faux fur in fashion (apparently it has been in the news lately) (who else is going to ask these questions if not TMZ?) LOL

Last question: Mayor Pete is there any subject that you can't speak eloquently on?

You'll have to watch to the end to see his answer.

I think this guy rocks. Smart, funny, witty etc. We IMHO need young blood to lead this broken country and this is the guy to do it.

but I strongly support Mayor Pete.

My generation had our chance, and we have fucked things up royally. I have no problem with some new, fresh blood actors to take over.

I think the boomer generation had really high hopes for what we could do. And we did get started, but we dropped the ball.

We boomers will be gone in a few short years, and I think the people who are really going to be affected should have the right to set the course from here on.

Mayor Pete has it all. We could not ask for a more worthy nominee. He is wise beyond his age, he is caring, sympathetic and empathetic. He is smart and kind.

I will vote for whomever is our nominee, but after the current disaster occupying our white house, with the proper context and educating of the people of ALL the crimes and traitorous actions committed, ANY nominee should beat the turd.

Since that should be the case, I say we go with the boldest and smartest candidate.
