The momentum of presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg's campaign forced a Tuesday night town hall outdoors in Des Moines, Iowa, to accommodate a much larger than expected crowd.

The campaign expected about 50 people for its town hall at the gymnasium at Benjamin Franklin Junior High school in Des Moines. The school estimated 1,650 people showed up.

Buttigeig spoke briefly and for the second time Tuesday answered questions from the crowd. During his brief remarks, he mentioned that Electoral College should be abolished, saying that whoever gets the most votes should be elected to office. Should that have been the case in 2016, Democrat Hillary Clinton outpaced Donald Trump in the popular vote.

5. I've switched a couple of different times

The wording on the selection page is:

"If I were to vote in a presidential primary today, I would vote for..."

So tomorrow it might be someone else and same for the day after that.

It means nothing more than what I would do today.

6. It is so very wonderful to hear and see an intelligent person.

I like Pete and will vote for him if he makes it to my primary.
FYI, Montana primaries are rather late in the process.

7. Will vote on Super Tuesday here

I’m wavering between Kamala and Pete. I would love to see them on the same ticket but I’ll have to decide who to pull the lever for at some point.

8. You're lucky. Super Tuesday carries a lot of weight for opinions.

9. Mayor Pete looks like the real deal.

10. LOL! Expected only 50 people? In Des Moines Iowa? Really?

Attending campaign events is Des Moines Dems' favorite passtime.
