(36 posts)Mayor Pete destroyed them with this comment, and he was very good on Brian Williams post-debate show on MSNBC.
I hope Joe & Kamala deploy him appropriately as a campaign surrogate in the closing weeks.

(81,523 posts)I thought he was terrific! What a great ally to have! Mighty glad he's on the team, and I'm equally glad the team wants him in there with them.

(16,940 posts)I'll admit that Pete has been "lost in the background" for the past few months.
MAN, he came out charging tonight - a VERY BRIGHT spot for the future of the Democratic Party!

(11,949 posts)Which limits his potential.
Not sure America will elect a mayor president.
moonscape
(4,674 posts)a cabinet post. I know that isnt a usual path, but I think he might have a fairly high profile. Hes smart enough to carve a path I think.
I saw him in the first debate for DNC chair and in 10 min was wondering, who is that guy?
I think he can do it.
crimycarny
(1,351 posts)And bypass Indiana. Indiana went for Obama in 2008...a black man AND a Democrat..so anything possible. Pete has it.
GulfCoast66
(11,949 posts)Would love to see him as president.

(12,876 posts)A gay Democrat doesn't stand much of a chance winning as statewide election in Indiana.

(16,940 posts)get a spot in the Biden Cabinet, do your job (that in itself would be a breath of fresh air after the past 4 years!) and you're set to do great things!
This man has "it" - we can't afford to waste that brilliance and talent.
GET OUT THE VOTE!!!!!!!

(12,876 posts)A cabinet post is Mayor Pete's path forward.

(11,652 posts)I like Pete more all the time. Pretty sure they could round up the entire Wednesday night lineup over there on Fox in one room and his IQ would outweigh them as well.

(36,898 posts)He will have a place in the Biden administration, that's for sure.

(4,554 posts)I agree.
Give him a job in the Biden admin and America will promote from within

(9,475 posts)dunderheads can go toe to toe with him - HUGE, Galactic HUGE mistake. He politely dropped a thermonuclear device on their heads.

crimycarny
(1,351 posts)But as circumstances changed (COVID) I realized Joe was the right guy for this unique moment in history. Im thinking Secretary of State , though that doesnt always give a lot of visibility. SOMETHING that will prove his bonafides so he can run for President.
