4. I got to admit

I got to admit Brooklynite I’ve been skeptical for Mayor Pete but he showed tonight he is very capable and willing to go hard. He also comes across as very likeable and genuine. My #2 was Amy but after this debate it’s Pete, very impressed.

7. And not only that, despite being the youngest one there, he came across as the one thoughtful adult.

8. He sure was! I felt so much joy watching him talk.

Smart, eloquent, good zingers too!

9. I was really impressed by Pete Buttigieg tonight.

He wasn't the best tonight (Warren was) but he did great under a lot of persecution.
