    It’s better than not voting.

    Thoughts and prayers.
    Although I recall that besotted doctor saying Trump had perfect genes so he's got nothing to worry about.

    I'm cool with this in terms of I think he could do a good job. What are the chances Mayor Pete could beat Trump in a national election? I am slowly coming around to him rather than Biden. If I based my primary vote on the candidate I'd rather see president, it's Buttigieg in by a country mile. Ultimately, though, it's all about who can beat Trump.

    Iowa Poll: Buttigieg leads in Iowa, followed by Warren, Sanders, Biden

    A full 30 percent of voters surveyed in that poll said their minds were made up. Still two and a half months away. I think most Democrats are trying on candidates like shoppers in a clothing store, hoping for that one glimpse in the mirror that says, "yep, that's me." This could go on awhile.

    Who are the voters who would vote for Biden over Trump, but would vote for Trump over Buttigieg?

    Is it a gay thing? Those voters are voting for Trump.

    Is it an experience thing? Trump was a reality TV character.

    There are reasons to question any of them, but the biggest thing is having a candidate people care about. If Pete gets people excited, great. I've always been a big Biden fan but I'd love to see someone much younger get the nom.

    I think it's mostly a name recognition thing at this point. A September poll had the number at 39 percent were following the race very closely.

    if I remember correctly, every man under his command testified against him.

    Even then it wouldn’t stop. They’d just blame the media and claim some deep state conspiracies rigged the election.

    Average middle to right voters.
    You know as well as I do there were many voters who held their nose while voting for Trump simply because he wasn't screeching Hillary.
    It's a gay thing. I don't give a shit. I'd 10 gajillion times rather vote for a gay dude who volunteer for combat and isn't a grifter than Trump, but my vote doesn't matter.
    The resistance has to embrace the swing voter.

    I love barbecue.
    I want my country back.

    They’re the only hospital in the area with a scale large enough to weigh him.
