He speaks so eloquently. He’s the exact opposite of MAGA politicians and their incomprehensible reactionary drivel.

[lynnanderson]

What an intelligent and eloquent person.

[darlaleasure]

Direct, intelligent, class in speaking. Sad having to tell grown Americans how to act when you lose. Maga pay attention. I like him !!!

[paulinemclean]

I’m not American, but I’d vote for this man. Intelligent, fair, humble and not a push over or in anybody’s pocket. Rare 💎. 💙💙💙

[HappyLife]

That is the most important point of how dangerous MAGA & DT are.

[TomSabourin]

I can't imagine getting such a thoughtful and reasonable response from Trump, Vance, or any leaders in the Republican party.

[shogun]

Fantastic, Pete. Not many people think like that. Thanks for the explanation.

[meowmusic]

Dignity in American politics…refreshing

[rachelb]

Oh how I love this man! Someone with actual intelligence and as cool as a cucumber. He is Presidential material through and through!

[ChipWood-on]

He is the absolute near perfect example of who we need in all levels of government. I think that was the absolute best answer to the question ever spoken. I’m looking forward to watching President Pete Buttigieg take the oath of office in my lifetime!!

[adipsous]

I wish I had a mind as sharp and unfettered by the fear of failure as this amazing person.

[megwenger]

I wasn’t expecting that answer, so obviously true, so brilliantly noted

[gtoddster]

Absolutely love this man. His explanations are always so clear and the right thing to do for all.

[FionaEm]

Incredibly well explained. This guy is so impressive.

[betsybutler]

I believe Pete WILL be our President some day!

[joycestepancevich]

It's sad that because of a malignant narcissist like D.T. we now have to explain to people why it is right and necessary and beneficial to all that you don't always win in life, things don't always go our way and jumping into denial or cheating or engaging others to violence is not the right thing to do.

[robertyacoub]

He’s the best. It’s incredibly sad, frustrating and scary that we have to explain this at this time. I think even kindergarteners understand that when you play by rules and you lose, you lost. Try again next time.

[andysix]

At last, a straightforward concise and intelligent definition of what democracy actually means. 👌

[cheeseheadfiddle]

A great communicator. He thinks 10 steps ahead of where his argument is going and he leads you there

[mrvegardeide]

This guy is just brilliant! Imagine him as POTUS!
