I finally figured out who Mayor Pete reminds me of.

Was just watching him in New Hampshire filling out ballot paperwork.
He just comes across as such a nice guy. Very likable.
But, just a little bit nerdy. But in a good way.
He’s, of course, brilliant (probably Mensa) but he doesn’t come across as arrogant at all.

For those that remember the show Leave it To Beaver, Pete reminds me of Beavers very nice, smart older brother Wally. Wally always did the right thing and took care of his little brother.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:

I just noticed that he's a lefty.

Mayor Pete is a man who knows the difference between right and wrong. He strikes me as the kind of person who will always strive to do the right thing, even at his own personal expense.

In fact, Jimmy Carter is the only good right handed president in my nearly 50 yrs. The other three, Nixon, W, and Trump were uniquely bad.
Not all lefties have been great people, or the best presidents, but the 2 best presidents (Clinton and Obama) in my lifetime have been left handed.

Not in any specific sense, but more a general sentiment.

He also reminds me (more so... but maybe only because I watched one last weekend) of the friend of Baby Dumpling in the Blondie movies of the thirties and forties.
