    Why would Buttigieg weigh down the ticket? He’s been slaying the opposition on Fox News while their pundits sit there in slack jawed awe. He’s shown his progressive chops on multiple occasions and, best of all, he’s not old as fuck.

      I love Mayor Pete for all the reasons you’ve said and more. I hope he is our president one day. He is the realization of the ideal politician imagined by Aaron Sorkin in shows like The West Wing and The Newsroom, and he has the rhetorical chops to put Josh and Toby to shame.

      But he’d be weighing down the ticket with yet another Leftist Perversion of the Natural Order, e.g. he’s openly gay. You can’t serve the American People (who are an essentially stupid entity when taken together) a black-indian-woman-prosecutor with a side of openly-gay-silver-tongued-navy-daddy. Too rich. They’ll get indigestion. That’s too many LPNOs and too many “firsts”. You need something a little more bland and safe as a palate cleanser.

      But Buttigeig 2032, for sure.
