Love Buttigieg, and believe that he only entered the primary because he didn't see anyone who was likely to win and do what was needed to correct the course of the ship of state.

When Biden entered the race, Pete was the first to step out and throw his support to Joe. I trust that Pete understands actual morality applied to public service. I knew Joe Biden does too, because I am old and have watched for many decades. But I did worry about how his age would impact the race in 2020. That Joe surrounded himself with really good people, of all ages and areas of expertise, assured me he was 'young enough' to get the job done because he was smart and strong enough to build the best team for the actual work of serving the public. Biden's personal ego has never been threatened by having truly remarkable people near him.
