    I hated Buttigieg because he went back on his progressive roots and disappointed his socialist father BUT I wish she would pick him.

    My money though is on Kelly or Shapiro because they need AZ and PA.

      Buttigieg was always a technocratic cypher. He relied mostly on his access to elite schools, and background as a “McKenssyite” to get access to the stage. His primary credentials were being a one time mayor of a college town, and his elitist access that being a McKensie fellow afforded. When it seemed inconvenient to be a progressive, he was no longer a progressive. My central issue with him as a candidate was simply that he had not run-in and won a state or federal election. Its a soft-requirement I’ve had for a while is that you at least need to show me you can win elections. Him going on to spoiling the progressive tickets when and where necessary and being rewarded for that with his position as Transportation Secretary, was just insult to injury.
