17. His being gay is the least interesting thing about him. He is smart and gave the best late term

Abortion answer on (Fox no less) that I have ever heard even from the female candidates. He is steady and authentic. It shines through. He is also one of the few candidates that has not changed his position on health care, etc. He has said things that have not been the most popular, he also doesn’t wait to poll test his every answer. He is a moderate which I feel appeals to many. I think he’s youth is what most people will hold against him. I love Buttigieg every time I hear him speak. I am a person who wants the most electable candidate that has the best chance of beating Trump. He has to go. I would proudly vote for Buttigieg if he is the nominee.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
