I would be happy to work for him and vote for him if he is our candidate in the general. I think that's a long shot and don't expect it, but then I'd never ever heard of Clinton before the debates back then, so it is possible. He's #3 on my personal primary list at this moment in time.

but he's such a promising young rising star. Pete Buttigieg has a prominent role to play in Democratic politics for many years to come, no doubt ascending to the country's highest office someday.

... however he's still a longshot for the upcoming election. Mayor Pete continues to impress us with his acumen and leadership. Next time out maybe he'll be Senator Pete instead of Mayor Pete. He is definitely one to be watched.
