(10,909 posts)30. I think Pete can do whatever he sets his mind to.
He is one of the brightest, most capable politicians of my lifetime.
He should be President someday.
He's a fantastic spokesman for Democrats.
So sharp. So quick. With tremendous communication skills to get his point across in a very accessible, non condescending way.
They have to make a VP pick to help Kamala. If Shapiro hands them PA, that might be the best way for them to go for this election.
If she picks Pete, he'll destroy JD Vance and he'll snag a bunch of media like Obama did with his smooth articulation of the party position vs the GOP lying.
Pete is too good to keep down. His time will come.

No sane president would replace Blinken right now. But Chief of Staff, hell yes!
