Smart guy, good values. I'll vote for him if he becomes the primary. I'm sure the right would throw a fit too if the first "first man" wasn't married to the first woman to become president, though they would probably also have a problem with that too.

This guy is amazing. He speaks in complete sentences. I haven’t seen that in almost 2 1/2 years.

2 ( +5 / -3 )

He's a courageous, principled, intelligent, articulate man with clear objectives and a track history of improving people's lives. He's everything the current president is not. I hope he makes it to the top.

An interesting candidate. Seems to be on the level and able to actually communicate.

1 ( +3 / -2 )

Seems like a decent guy

That being said, wake me in a year.

Let's see which methods the Trumpets use to disparage this candidate.

0 ( +0 / -0 )

Interesting, but another guy who won’t make it to the WH. At this point, the only hope the Dems have of even coming close is Biden, but he doesn’t have that fire in his belly to run enthusiastically.

The guy is a smooth talker, way smoother than Obama. The media are fawning all over the guy. He's already polling third in Iowa and New Hampshire. If Michelle doesn't jump in, they may nominate him!

Mayor Pete says the New Green Deal is right on climate change. Even if it was, which it isn't, even if the U.S. went back to the Stone Age and stopped the burning of all fossil fuels and killed all the cows, China and India, the worst offenders, would continue to increase CO2 emissions.

-2 ( +2 / -4 )

In addition to the New Green Deal Mayor Pete also supports a wealth tax ( ain't gonna work ), single payer health plan ( ain't gonna work ), amnesty for some illegals ( slap the faces of those who came legally! ), packing the Supreme Court, and getting rid of the Electoral College which allowed us to dodge the lethal bullet of Hillary Clinton. The guy is charming, though, and so is his husband, so, OK, let's elect him!

Anyway, Mayor Pete has no chance to become the nominee now that Eric "Russia, Russia, Russia" Swalwell has thrown his hat into the ring!

-2 ( +2 / -4 )

No chance. If any of these lower tier white male candidates get popular, Hillary will re-emerge and take it away from them.

Everyone's going gaga over this guy but no one seems to talk about Andrew Yang. At least he has a unique platform that isn't like all the other candidates. The only Dems that stand out are Tulsi Gabbard and Andrew Yang. Still wouldn't vote for either, but at least they aren't the typical schlock you'd get.

Seems to be on the level and able to actually communicate

Are you saying none of the other Dem candidates are actually able to communicate? Or are you saying Trump can't communicate? Don't tell me - Trump, right? lol

"I like that he's young," said Tom Lacy, a 62-year-old retiree who came from Peoria, Illinois, for the event with his wife, Candy, on their 35th wedding anniversary. "He's so relatable. He doesn't seem like a politician to me." Lacy said: "The contrast between him and our current president is unbelievable."

Trump seems like a politician? hahahahahaha

If the Dems are dumb enough to nominate this guy who basically supports AOC's New Green Deal, it's gonna be a total landslide for Trump. But being a white male, even a young one, it's gonna be hard for him to get the Dem nomination.
