i like this Pete Buttigieg guy.

Just watched the segment of Morning Joe. He makes a lot of sense. He effortlessly and in a very friendly manner made Joe Scarborough look like an outdated demagogue. I felt as if Joe thought he was throwing all his gotcha questions at him and Buttigieg could not be got. Especially when it came to the question of "socialism" and "capitalism" - he resisted being pigeonholed with great skill.

I really like him. I don't know if he has a snowball's chance in hell of winning the nomination, but I am very impressed. Sadly most of the media will have Schultz on 10 times before they even mention Buttigieg's name (incredibly difficult name!). I hope that changes.
