I'm with Pete!

What a great speech! To hell with those naysayers saying he's too young and inexperienced.

What about Bloatus? He's old and stupid -- and evil.

His youth is a plus--more energy for the hard work ahead.

And he's whip smart!

He gave a great speech. Covered all the bases and made me proud!

3. Exactly. Trump broke all the rules and still won.

That means nobody has to follow the old rules anymore. New rules are being written now.

I don't understand why more people haven't learned that in 2016. And even hose who didn't get in 2016 should have caught on when AOC broke them again to become the 2nd most important member of Congress.

11. She isn't the 2nd most important person in Congress

that is just absurd. McConnell can still bottle up the House's bills and slam judges down our throats. Pelosi is leader of the House. Even Schumer is more important than her. Plus you have the committee chairs who determine what happens in the House and what doesn't.

12. Yes, of course. But I'm talking about media influence.

She gets more attention than almost any other House member. I don't think there's another case in history where a freshman representative with no prior political experience got this kind of attention. It's not an accident. She knows how to play the new game.

Buttigieg, Sanders and O'Rourke know how to play the new game too. But IMO, Buttigieg is the best of the three.

Buttigieg is the Anti-Trump. If you take ever Trump attribute, Buttigieg is the opposite. He's intelligent, thoughtful, well read, a veteran, civil, genuinely human . . . .
