He's said a zillion smart, well-informed, sensible things about policy, governance, and leadership and very few stupid things.

Probably somewhere in between. If they are selling him as a candidate who is gay, that is taking away from his qualification’S to do the job, agree?

And just like being gay is the only qualification for people that are going to vote for him anyways.
So where do we go from here?

Donald Trump vs. Mayor Pete. Who you taking?
I'll go first: Mayor Pete.
You're up.

I’m in a deep blue state so I vote third party. If I were in a swing state I probably still vote third party because Pete is a radical enviro-leftist who would get trounced by Trump because African Americans won’t vote for a gay guy. If I were in a swing state and it was Pete vs. a Trump who happened to be gay, I’d vote for the gay Trump.

Mayor Pete. He's not even remotely prepared for this, but he's at least mentally competent to hold office which would immediately make him the most polished candidate in the last two cycles.

When you offer me Donald Trump vs blank, it doesn’t matter too much to me who the blank is.
I mean, I’d vote for Trump if he were running against Herschel Walker I suppose.

Tough decision. Sensible guy experienced in the nuts and bolts of governance or raging narcissist who doesn't let ignorance impede his lust for personal power and aggrandizement.
A real conundrum here.

I wonder just how many new Trump voters I created with the post above.

He would be the best gay out there -- I'm sure he's fantasied about shirtless on horseback behind Putin

Pretty much where I'm at with him.
That alone is miles better than the crap either side has thrown up as candidates post-Obama.

Never supported Pete in 2020 because I don't think someone can go from mayor of South Bend to the White House. I basically viewed him as if Barack Obama had tried to run for president in 2000 (and even that's making the very generous assumption that he has the capability of becoming an Obama by 2028).
But I will say one thing that's always impressed me is his ability to make really clear, concise arguments. That's an underrated skill in politics, and the reason his Fox News hits often go viral. But it's also not sufficient by itself to make someone qualified for president.
I saw recently that he had officially changed his residency from Indiana to Michigan. Ostensibly, that's because his husband is from there, and they wanted to be close to his family in order to have help with their kids. But it's hard to ignore that this opens up the possibility of him getting elected to statewide office there, which was never going to happen in Indiana. I wonder if he stays in the Cabinet until 2024 and then moves back and spends the next two years laying the groundwork to run in the open governor's race in '26.
