I like Pete Buttegieg for veep.

[Baltimike]

and no one has thrown his hat into the ring.

[Jilly_in_VA]

1. I do, BUT.....

Can you iMagine the RepubliKKKan attacks then? On a woman and a gay man? Probably best not.

[Baltimike]

4. The Republicans will swift boat *ANYBODY* Buttigieg is from Indiana.

and is a perfect for for JD Vance

[Shermann]

29. Yeah might be too much too soon. nt

[GPV]

2. I do, too

[edisdead]

3. Never won a statewide election.

He cannot be seen as ready to step into the presidents role if needed.

[Baltimike]

5. Ok. I can totally see that. nt

[splunge63]

9. Rump never won a state wide election, never held a political post and he won the Presidency

yeah, that's an anomaly, but I don't see lacking a state wide office, especially for a Dem from a bright red state, being a monster obstacle. First, this is VP we're talking about. Second, he's been a cabinet member for 4 years. Third, he's bright and articulate as hell.

[Wicked Blue]

6. I do too

[TommyT139]

7. I do too

...perhaps in 2028?

Give him some time to enjoy his family and get more amazing stuff done in DC (and everywhere else in the country).
🛫🚅🚗🚌

[bdamomma]

8. My daughter just

mentoned Pete. My other daughter mentioned Cory Booker.

[Baltimike]

10. I still like Pete, but Booker is awesome too. nt

[Wavelight]

11. His time will come

I'd rather have him as Secretary of State or Secretary of Defense.

[musicblind]

13. Despite his military background,

he would make a better Secretary of State than Secretary of Defense imho. His greatest strengths are his communication skills and his ability to persuade.

[Music Man]

20. He also speaks several languages.

I've always thought he could also be a good Ambassador to the UN.

Smart guy, Pete.

[Baltimike]

22. I still just really like him nt

[musicblind]

12. I would love this! n/t

[dsp3000]

14. That is ultimate suicide

Pete is awesome but we need to play identity politics. Old white boomers aren't going to vote for a gay man especially with a black woman at the head of the ticket

[Baltimike]

15. Old white boomers are Shitler supporters and we shouldn;t pander to them nt

[dsp3000]

16. There are enough of them to swing an election though.

[Baltimike]

17. They aren't voting on our side anyway. nt

[Behind the Aegis]

19. It isn't "old white boomers" who would be the problem. n/t

[pinkstarburst]

33. Old white boomers who are too bigoted to vote for a gay VP weren't voting for us anyway

with a black woman on the ticket. You're welcome.

[planj07]

18. Bad choice

The VP has to be a white man. This country is too sexist, racist, homophobic to run a black woman and gay man on a ticket and win.

[Baltimike]

21. Ummm...not for nothing, but

Pete Buttegieg is indeed a white man.

You're welcome

[ViewObsessed]

23. Love him!

He brings great balance to the ticket!

[avebury]

24. I love Pete. However,

I am pragmatic and we need whoever it will take to help push Kamala over the line.

I would love Pete in a higher level Cabinet position. I want Kamala to have a top tier take no prisoners Cabinet. Smart, phenomenal communication skills, and able to smack down the Rethugs when needed.

[Baltimike]

25. I still think he can do it. nt

[Mz Pip]

26. Secretary of State

He’d be perfect for that. He speaks several languages and has an in depth knowledge of global issues.
.

[Blue Owl]

27. The good news is that even if Pete isn't selected this time as Kamala's VP....

He has several decades left to eventually ascend to the presidency, which I fully believe he will do.

I just hope I love long enough to see it happen…..

[Think. Again.]

28. I read somewhere he is being vetted along with others by the Harris campaign.

[ms liberty]

32. Yes, I have seen that he is from a numbwr of different sources.

[global1]

30. If She Would Pick Pete B. As Her VP......

Wouldn't that be the ultimate put down of Tr**p and the Repugs.

The replacement Dem ticket with a Woman, Black, Asian as the Prez and Pete B - a Gay man as the VP.

Hey Tr**p can you pass this cognitive test:

Woman, Black, Asian, Gay, and your Loss!!!!

[ratchiweenie]

31. I think he's great but I worry we won't be able to get a woman, a woman or color, and a gay man past a lot of

conservatives in our own party. It's a pretty big lift.
