Looks like Mayor Pete might be heading to the UN to burnish his foreign policy credentials. Frankly, an out gay man who speaks multiple languages is great representation to all of those countries who are persecuting LGBTQ people.

1. He would be an excellent choice.

This man has a great future ahead of him.

2. That has always been where I thought he should be.......

3. He spoke FOXese to their detriment

Great pick-Pete was my early selection for D. Presidential Candidate.

4. I like it! The UN Ambassador needs to be a prestigious position again

Mayor Pete would be a great addition to the ranks of such distinguished ambassadors a Adlai Stevenson, Andrew Young, and Madeleine Albright.

5. He'll do a great job no matter where he winds up.

And, he'd be perfect for this job.

6. That would be so great!

Wow

7. Yep. Foreign Affairs is his weak spot.

A few years at the UN will shore him up.

This is how you BUILD a party. You work with the people you have and then give them the right opportunities to make themselves better and stronger—to the benefit of all.

8. "Foreign Affairs is his weak spot" ! ?

Pete Buttigieg clears the commander in chief bar

A candidate who can identify, not to mention analyze, the rise of illiberal regimes as a threat to our interests and can find Sudan and Algeria on the map, let alone speak intelligently about them, deserves praise. A candidate willing to explain that immigration is a national security issue because we want and need the talent of those seeking to come here to help innovate and contribute to the economy should get credit. A Democrat forcefully defending the good that the United States does in the world deserves encouragement. He set a high bar for other candidates. Let’s see how they match up.

9. He's a veteran. He's highly knowledgeable about foreign affairs.

No doubt. He is better-prepared to handle American foreign policy than Trump.

But, since he can’t be President this cycle, the position of Ambassador to the UN will really beef-up his resume.

10. I'm with 'ya, Laelth............

One of the criticisms of Pete being a viable candidate for President was the his "government experience" was as a mayor of a mid-size city and he had no "national" experience.
Well, not counting the fact that he's brilliant and had an outstanding military career, and the fact that he does speak multiple languages fluently, the UN Ambassadorship should be just the right place for him - and certainly help comfort our foreign friends who had become disillusioned during the BunkerBoy administration.
