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.

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.

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!

a cabinet post. I know that isn’t a usual path, but I think he might have a fairly high profile. He’s 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.

And bypass Indiana. Indiana went for Obama in 2008...a black man AND a Democrat..so anything possible. Pete has “it”.

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!!!!!!!

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.

But as circumstances changed (COVID) I realized Joe was the right guy for this unique moment in history. I’m thinking Secretary of State , though that doesn’t always give a lot of visibility. SOMETHING that will prove his bonafides so he can run for President.

Not what the Pox Noise team wanted to hear, I'm sure. I bet they thought they had him all set up with a nice messy gotcha question, too.

Surprise, surprise, surprise!
