Such a promising future, but I'd like to see him fulfilling a top post ASAP, including POTUS (as unlikely as that may be).

But I don't know if the country is ready to handle (or deserves) having a President that is so well educated, articulate, and intelligent.

for Mayor Pete to point out that the level of respect that U.S. forces commanded overseas during his deployment was BEFORE the current presidency. A whole lot more people internationally wouldn't look at American soldiers with as much esteem now because they revile Trumpy so much.

While he's not ready to be promoted from a mayor of 100,000 people to the most powerful position in the country, I believe it may be in his future destiny. The man is brilliant beyond his years.

So very smart to hit this election cycle. He will go far. He is the voice for so very many of us. True patriot. He instills confidence.

I don't think he will be the candidate to represent us in 2020, but I could easily be wrong and would be honored to work for his election in the General.
