Let’s see, Mayor Pete has put forth basically two reasons for his candidacy:
1. I’m a tough guy because I served in Afghanistan (this is kind of like John I served in Vietnam Kerry).
After watching his performance during the South Bend town hall I think we can put this one to rest. Mr. Tough guy was almost in tears.
2. America needs a mayor/executive to run the Federal Executive branch.
Well, he seems to have all kind of problems running the (something like 298th) largest city. Perhaps he should get his house in order first.
Other than I want to be President just because, I don’t see a reason for his candidacy now.
buttigieg was a remf reservist in naval intelligence while in Afghanistan.
Fellow democrat contender tulsi gabbard also rides the shirttails of military service in Afghanistan. She served as a remf medical administrator.
Both candidates were in more danger from carpal tunnel than islamist terrorists.
