What about Pete?

[mobeau69]

Still hoping Joe has a place for him. He has so much to offer. We can surely use his remarkable knowledge, skills and abilities.

[DonaldsRump]

1. Agree!

He was totally loyal to Joe, so I hope that the two of them can agree on something.

He was brilliant on Fox during the general election.

[2naSalit]

2. There are plenty of openings yet to be announced...

I'm sure he'll be in one of them if he wants to be.

[calimary]

25. Truth! Joe's just starting to staff up. I trust him to pick good people, including Mayor Pete!

And I trust Joe Biden to do what he promised as far as African Americans in high places. He's already proving that he knows talent and can make some really great choices - in background, experience, and smarts, as well as diversity. He's already picked our first African American UN Ambassador. And has everyone already forgotten he has a Vice President who he picked - a SECOND IN COMMAND - and FIRST Person Of Color - in Kamala Harris??? Hello???

Have we really forgotten about her already? Seriously? As we learned in Catholic school - "Oh ye of little faith..."

JEEZ, people! Give him time!!!

[True Dough]

3. Most definitely!

Pete is one of the real faces of the future for the Dems at the highest levels of leadership.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

4. In the Department of Defense. ...

But I am certain, Joe has a place for him.

[brer cat]

5. I agree.

I would love to see him in a high profile role.

[Rebl2]

15. Same here

He deserves it

[Cha]

38. So would I, brer! A true

[patricia92243]

6. Has Slayer Pete given any idea how he would like to serve.

[calguy]

7. I'm sure there will be a place for Pete

But with the enormous task of repairing the damage trump has done, the top jobs need to go to those with proven experience. Pete has a bright future, but with only being a mayor of a mid sized city, Pete's resume does not qualify him for a top job. I won't be surprised to see him sitting in the Oval Office during his lifetime, but his time has not yet come. He'll find the right spot to enhance his resume I'm sure.

[cwydro]

8. He's miles ahead of anyone who "served" in the buffoon's administration.

I think he could meet any challenge.

[calguy]

9. Agree

I'm sure Joe will find the appropriate challenge for him to tackle and build his resume in the process.

[grantcart]

11. Are you really familiar with his resume beyond being Mayor?

Harvard
Oxford Rhodes Scholar with honors
McKenzie Management Consulting
It. US Army
Etc

He would have more relevant expertise as head of OBM than anyone who has held that job that I am familiar with.

[calguy]

30. I'm sure Joe will make good use of his talents.

[BGBD]

37. I'm not so sure

that McKenzie stint is such a good thing, especially considering the news about their work with Perdue Pharma.

[grantcart]

39. If you don't think that learning advanced skills if management consulting

Isn't a valuable skill in handling complex organizations and budgets then there is little to discuss, it's like being against math because it was used for nefarious purposes by someone once. MP wasn't a board member, CEO, or even in charge of a profit center. People continually comment about Pete's laser like logic and clear problem solving abilities without realizing that is exactly the type of skills McKenzie employs. It's very much like the uninformed bigotry that was is used against Democratic candidates who are lawyers by objecting to the clients they represented. More to the point the personal values that MP demonstrated shows that rather than making a fortune with McKenzie (which he would have) he did social/ volunteer work which raised questions in his mind about the unequal military burden that the poor bear and volunteered for the military.

[BGBD]

40. Spin

Nice try, but you can learn how to budget without being tied to a company who suggested paying pharmacies a bonus if their customers overdosed on oxygen.

[DeeDeeNY]

27. He is a quick study and brilliant

Adept in 7 languages, including Norwegian that he taught himself just so he could read a book in that language.

[sarcasmo]

10. French or German Ambassador, we need quality in Europe right now.

[nsd]

33. who is DFW?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

12. I'm wondering about him too. He was my candidate until he endorsed Joe.

Barack Obama said Pete was the future of the Democratic Party.

And Joe Biden promised him a place in his administration when Pete threw his support to him.

He has many gifts! I hope Joe will find a suitable, hopefully high-profile spot that will allow him to shine and to shed the "inexperience" label he got stuck with.

[calimary]

28. I liked him, too, but felt he needed a broader resume, but he's young! He's got TIME!

And potential! And I think Joe Biden recognizes that.

My first choice was Jay Inslee, because Inslee was/is MASSIVELY on environmental issues as I am, and seemed to be the only candidate who was, til he bowed out. Then I went directly to the Biden camp.

[LittleGirl]

29. Exactly! That's what I think.

He’s a fellow hometown neighbor that I am rooting for success!
He has a bright future so I really believe we have to be patient with the eventual announcement.
Go Joe!
Go Pete!
Change the world!

[Greybnk48]

13. I didn't like him on the campaign at all. But now!

Now that I've gotten to see him in action on Rachel, and even seen posted clips from Faux lately, I really am impressed and have done a complete turnaround on Pete. I'm sure I'm not alone.

He will be an important part of our future, I have not a shadow of a doubt.

[Celerity]

18. He is the same as he was during the campaign and in the debates.

Brilliant communicator.

[Texin]

19. I heartily agree!

[Celerity]

23. horrid luck he is in a ruby red reactionary state or he could be a superb Senator

Maybe he takes a show at it anyway

Braun and Young are two pure pieces of dogshit

Mike Braun is a true dumbass and I think could be taken out in 2024, but it is such an uphill battle now, as Indiana has went full-blown fundie MAGAt white nationalist and there is not a positive (for us) demographic shift underway there other than hopefully the RW boomers and older gens eventually lose a lot of influence

[Aviation Pro]

16. Press Secretary

....

[tavernier]

26. My first thought...

He would be the best ever!!
However with all of his skill and talent and experience, I’m sure Joe will utilize him in a more important position.

[irisblue]

17. He has taken a position at Notre Dame.

Local paperhttps://www.southbendtribune.com/news/local/pete-buttigieg-to-teach-about-trust-in-politics-and-other-fields-during-notre-dame-fellowship/article_f858c956-b72c-11ea-85ad-ef27047c25ea.html

snip-The University of Notre Dame has hired former South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg as a researcher and teacher for the 2020-2021 academic year, the university announced Thursday.

As a faculty fellow in the Notre Dame Institute for Advanced Study, Buttigieg will work on two research projects: one that explores how to restore trust in political institutions and another that considers the forces shaping the 2020s.

He joins a group of more than 30 faculty and student fellows who will conduct research on the nature of trust, the institute’s 2020-2021 research theme.

Buttigieg will take part in weekly seminars and other academic programs."

I know the 'rona has changed alot of things.

I've also seen that he and his husband want kids.

[Poiuyt]

20. I'm sure if Biden asks Mayor Pete to join his administration, he'll gladly accept.

[irisblue]

22. Oh yeah me too.

[DanieRains]

21. The Only Democrat Who Pointed Out Christian Hypocrisy

[Wounded Bear]

31. Given Indiana's politics, Pete's future is probably national...

Yes, he should have a high profile Cabinet post.

[jg10003]

32. My guess; DNC chairman.
