An opinion piece from TheGrio on endorsing Pete Buttigieg:

[AlexSFCA]

1. he is the only candidate certain to win in the general

the safest choice but hard to get nomination. He is popular among never trumpers, more so than Biden. Butigieg/Klobuchar or Butigieg/Stacey Abrams would be lethal to the long term viability of GOP. His nomination will also diminish evangelicals and expose them as cultists. I wish him well winning both Iowa and New Hampshire, followed by Nevada, California, etc. He desperately needs high profile endorsements. I honestly do not believe Obama is supporting Biden. My understanding is that he knows him very well and knows there are safer choices. Obama said not long ago, in order for dems to win in 2020, dem nominee will have to propose big, bold ideas. Pete is offering the single most important solution is reforming SC. Nothing else matters. Biden record going through dem primaries is atrocious and now he has less energy than he ever had. His fundraising is abysmall. Enthusiasm is there only for a chance to beat trump not for his candidacy. Not like in 2016 when HC was about to be first woman president, excitement was enormous from the beginning of her campaign.
