[bamboozled]

Salaries of Congress should be the *FIRST* expense frozen when they fail to pass funding bills

[jeannebowers]

So smart, articulate, and thoroughly prepared

[grandadslifehacks]

Mayor Pete, Thank you for supporting veterans.

[snoski]

I love how passionately he speaks about our wounded warriors. Really a stark contrast with the words of our former president

[uudd]

Love him or hate him, but cannot deny yhe fact that Secretary Buttigieg is just always so calm and articulate. He is the first politician who has actually in such simple terms explained the real world impact of these govt shutdowns

[paulbard]

Secretary Pete is probably the most intelligent and likable politician that the US has. He doesn't obfuscate when answering direct questions.

[-RandomBiz-]

What Pete just said at the end about veterans is exactly what a president should be saying.

[larrymcgill]

No screaming, no fist waving, no lies, no improbably conspiracies, no name calling… Just calm, plain speaking by a very considerate, honest man. American Patriot 👍

[kafkaten]

I'm always impressed when I hear Buttigieg doing an interview.

[Noreenlee]

What a remarkable, well-spoken, American hero!

[rickrice]

Mayor Pete is such a profound man. He's a man of principle and could be a future leader in the near future. Such a wonderful guy to listen to.

I am a combat veteran. For ANY veteran that would vote for trump and frankly at this point in time ANY gop canidate is not only insulting but just plain dispicable. No matter what else is said by these canidates. To disrespect those whom have given much more than we would or given their all is more than i can articulate and not be banned from youtube. I have been thanked many times "for my service" but now i am compelled to ask the question, "who did you vote for." Sometimes i get an answer, sometines i don't. But when an individual says he voted and will vote for trump, i simply tell them that their "thanks" is an insult to me, my parents, my grandparents, my aunts and uncles whom all sacrificed much to save us from Fascism and Authoritarianism. When this occurs(more often than i would like) i get a sense that this person has no clue whatsoever they are actually voting for. I am 66 and speak english and i just lay it out but find that i am really talking to an uneducated and beguiled wackjob. And full of whatisms but no substance. Very sad that this buffoon and wannabe dictator has convinced these people that he is their savior makes my stomach turn

[southendbos]

He’s the most articulate and intelligent voice speaking today. He’s a breath of fresh air. There are WAY too many bigoted Americans to ever vote for him.

[jamesnelles]

why would they go to work if they aren't getting paid? Stop paying congress, it is not like they are working.

[LianeBernhauer]

Love love What a beautiful country this would be with a president like Pete Buttigieg. He never loses his cool. He is always on point. He is always prepared. Well mannered, well spoken, highly educated, with a sense of honour and decency.

[bikeboy]

We need bright, calm, articulate people like Buttigieg in government. He'd make a very good president.

[janefinnegan]

Pete Buttigieg would make an outstanding president! Integrity, intelligence, compassionJ …

[MGE]

Hello… I am from UK - but if I was living in America I would definitely vote for Pete as President. He is extremely articulate, very calm under pressure and is very smart… PETE for PRESIDENT!!! - 2025!!!

[bobpenny]

Earnest, intelligent, articulate - given those qualities it’s amazing Pete got anywhere in the crazy world of politics in recent years. A ray hope in our insane political landscape

[robertalker]

I had no idea Mr. Buttigieg served in combat in Afghanistan. However, even before I knew this I always viewed Pete as man of great character, principle, unassuming, and a forthright heartfelt charm. Most impressive and I hope he remains in the fight.
