Well, this is refreshing...a place to come and NOT see silliness so soon in the cycle!

I have been nothing but impressed by Mayor Buttigieg in every appearance and interview I have seen to date, but the toxic infighting and craziness is starting to get me down lately.

Pete is the literal anti-Trump, we could not get a more stark contrast of qualification, quality, intelligence or empathy to present to the electorate than by nominating Pete for 2020.

I am really looking forward to the debates getting started and seeing this campaign develop over time!

I have no time for the "He said what about Hillary? He's DONE!" crowd.

Pete has been a stellar candidate to date and whether you agree with his position on the Clinton campaign strategy in the Rust Belt or not, it's hardly a reason to write him off as a legitimate contender. Those who do will eventually realize their error of their ways.

But I compliment you for putting up a good, rational, positive defense of Pete. And what the hell is wrong with NurseJackie? So angry, so much in attack mode. She/He sounds like the meds wore off. Maximum weird! I have no problem with hearing different opinions or having a reasonable dialog, but the nasty attitude makes no sense.

And I kind of went off on a tangent there. Still . . .
