Just catching Mayor Pete on PBS Newshour.

He's handsome and smart.
And smart. 😍

Mentioned concerning Iran increasing centrifuge capacity. [Or what the exact term is.] How pulling out of the Iran Nuclear Deal was so very wrong. Of course, decided by the orangeous wrong one.

1. I thought it was a great interview as well.

I've listened to a lot of what he's said and now I'm so used to it that I no longer see it as unusual.

He is so smart that he can talk off-the-cuff without hesitation. He is brilliant!

Imagine what it would be like to have such intelligence working for all of us.

My mind boggles.

Leaning towards Biden, but in actuality, kinda sorta still not set.

Amy K. has been appealing to me more lately, and now Pete.

If Biden gets the nod, either of these aforementioned would be a nifty VP pick.

3. I'm assuming that Biden would not pick a man for V.P.

That probably makes sense for the general election, but I think that they would make a fine team in office.

5. Yes, and that's the feeling I get about a Biden-Buttigieg ticket.

6. I like Pete, but it might be a stretch to call him handsome.

I've seen some comparisons of him with Alfred E. Neumann and Howdy Doody.

My other personal critique of Pete is a comment that I also made about Justin Trudeau--stop wearing brown shoes with blue pants. Pete would look a couple inches taller if he wore black shoes instead.

Note: Yes, I know that discussing looks and attire is petty, but since the OP is about Pete's appearance it seems fair for discussion.

8. I dint wanna say 'cute' for a possible choice of an important office holder.

Brown shoe and blue suit/attire is 'in' currently. It's around. It don't bother me, although I did take notice of that combo being worn. What can ya do.

Yellow 'power' ties DO bug me. Lime green ones next, except worn for St. Patrick's Day. Pink Cotton Candy or pink bubblegum ones, wrong also. 😊

9. Having seeing him on Newshour, the shot of him was kinda from the shoulders up and I studied him

more carefully than anytime before.

Mb it's simply the package deal why I found him appealing more so than before. Handsome package deal.
