Can you imagine JD Vance trying to debate Pete Buttigieg? 1st round knockout

I’m in Uk and Pete is absolutely awesome and articulate. He always has an answer and knows what he is talking about. ❤

I donated for Secretary Buttigieg when he was running for office of President. I have always been impressed with his intelligence, his calm demeanor, just overall a very class act. Also he is a Rhodes Scholar which is extremely impressive..

[randolphamos]

Very articulate, intelligent man. I hope Pete becomes president someday

[donnapavlovsky]

Pete Buttigieg is a class act! Love listening to his perspective. Would love to have him as VP but he will do well in any capacity in her cabinet. Voting Blue‼️💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸💙

[Mikheno]

No one speaks better or more clearly than Pete Buttigieg. Anyone going up against Pete in a debate is going to get crushed. I'll cast my vote for Pete as VP.

Im a 73 year old retired school teacher living a red state. I just love this kid!!I look forward to seeing him play a major roll in a Democratic government.😊😇

Pete B makes a great point about how the joy and tone of excitement IS making an impact on voters. Some people thrive on negativity but I think most of us are looking for light 💡

[noknok]

Pete B. is an American unicorn. His intelligence and class stands above the crowd.

[williambenson]

All we are saying, is give Pete a chance.

So inspiring to hear PB speak so intelligently and calmly yet still make his point and land criticisms of the GOP candidates and platform. Civil discourse has been a rarity in our politics since 2015. PB gives me hope for the future.

He is about 1000x brighter than anyone on the GOP side and has the highest EQ of anyone else in the country, I think. Hands down the best communicator in the country.
