Have AOC and Mayor Pete met?

Two wonderfully articulate, whip smart people from a younger generation.
They give me hope. Can you imagine what they could do together, complementing each other's strengths?

Does anyone else feel this way?

Pete Buttigieg -- a remarkable guy, destined to go places

I highly recommend listening to the podcast on Preet's Stay Tuned series of Preet interviewing Buttigieg. I was really impressed with him on many levels. He's super intelligent in an accessible way, speaks clearly, thoughtfully, from the heart. He's steeped in political philosophy, which I studied. Definitely a progressive, a liberal in all the best ways.

I don't think I'd support him this go round, but the guy is 37 and so accomplished. I hope he's teeing up for Indiana governor and then a presidential run.
