Buttigieg has 'enormous respect' for Hillary Clinton, says she was 'ill-served' by strategy...

99. This is what I mean when I say "he's inexperienced at national politicking."

I understand what he's saying. I hadn't thought about the "America is already great" statement being the wrong message. Maybe if she had explained it further...that American was already great in so many ways, but has lost its way in other ways. Strategy could have been better, I suppose. But I'm not a political strategist, so hard for me to say.

But Pete made a newbie mistake in saying it the way he did. He hasn't learned the art of phrasing a criticism so that it doesn't appear so personal. I think you usually say something great about the person first, followed up by a criticism, emphasizing that this is what you think, not absolutely know.

Anyway, he'll get better. But I'm concerned that so many of the candidates have no experience politicking on a national level, which is one of the hardest things to do. And with Trump as the opponent, it's going to be tough, even for the experienced ones.
