He has very good instincts and has a pleasant personality. He's also smart as hell. That's the good. The not so good is he has some issues with those "people of color". And of course the elephant in the room, he's gay, which I doubt will help him as much as it hurts him. He's got a future, just not this time around. 2020 is full on crazy train time, and Pete is just different when complete insanity is what's in demand.
Got to resurrect this thread. Here’s Buttigieg’s main problem in a Dem primary: Oftentimes AA voters get stereotyped and pigeonholed into the larger democrat party but they tend to be very moderate and even conservative in some areas. With Buttigieg’s rise in Iowa and now NH his marriage may pose a serious obstacle for AA voters. This is something he must address. He also has a kind of shaky record with the black community in South Bend.
