Same could have been said about Carter in 1975 ("Jimmy Who For What"), and Obama. People want a fresh change, not 78 year old retreads, which is what Biden and Bernie are. He does have to be careful not to get into the Twitter pig pen with Trump and his juvenile behavior.Mayor Pete is (distant) 3rd in the polls, but trajectory is rapidly changing upward. He comes across as personable, brutally honest, serious, thoughtful, served in Afghanistan, and he is amazingly brilliant, attended Harvard and Oxford, and speaks 7 languages. It will be very hard to find anything negative about him except not agreeing with his economic and political views, and does not want to be a poster child like Ellen D. of the GLBQT community. I would not have thought this a month ago, but his being a gay married man won't much hinder him. The majority of the public in every state, except Alabama (where it does not matter for a Democrat) supports gay marriage. I like Swamwell and Klochubar too. |
