Speaking of Mayor Pete, he reminded me, on Bill Maher last night, how smart, well-spoken and fast on his feet he is. Especially contrasted with the current Biden. I forget what happened to him, exactly, in the 2020 primaries... wasn't registering with Black people and took contributions from "Big Money" or something like that?
Well, if the Dems are looking for somebody who can articulate the case for center-left, he's the guy. Heck, he's better than Newsom! Right up there with Ro Khanna!!! Mayor of South Bend and Secretary of Transportation is still a light resume, but he's making progress. Would love to see him serve a couple of terms in Congress or something like that, but he's top notch in the talking department! Him against Trump in a debate would be no contest... and wouldn't that be refreshing!
Actually, I think the reason he was given a Cabinet position was as a way to get him experience in the federal government. I mean, just listen to the guy, he's super-bright and articulate. Obviously, in 2020 he didn't have near the resume necessary for the White House, so if that's what sunk his candidacy, it was deserved.
Yes, he's obviously super bright and capable. But if you are gay or black or a woman then Republicans will call you unqualified anyway.
Wait, would Republicans even do that in the case of a Kamala Harris, who has way more relevant experience now, than Trump did in 2016? That doesn't make sense! They would do that?!?
Kamala Harris has the best resume to run for President in over 50 years.
And yes, Republicans call her a DEI hire. Meanwhile they've got JD Wentworth.
