Mayor Pete shows an incredible intelligence, awareness and positive view of what we may be capable of.

I sincerely believe he wrote all of that himself. He gets it. He doesn't need speech writers or handlers. And he is extremely lucky in that has Chasten to anchor him as he faces his biggest challenges. Life can be so much easier with a soulmate that one can share the challenges and successes with. It isn't required, but it certainly helps.

His ability to communicate effectively (which is what we truly need right now in a leader), should be obvious to anyone willing to give him a chance.

But so many won't, for reasons both petty, and hypocritical.

All of our candidates, with the exception of Gabbard, who is nothing but a spoiler supported by our enemies, runs circles around the current disgrace squatting in the people's white house.

But Mayor Pete is such a breath of fresh air.. He presents his vision with a grace and kindness that offends no one, and lays out his proposals in clear, precise and understandable language.

I will give him a pass on what I find as his one offense (stressing his religious beliefs), because he may be able to convince some who feel religion as strongly as he does, that their current "chosen one" in the white house has used them, and sold them a bill of goods that, if examined, shows a blatant hypocrisy that no one should support.

I have found, from previous job skills, that no matter how bad news is that has to be relayed to someone, it is all about the words you use, and the tone in which they are said. Unwanted information can be accepted, if given in a way that is not condemning, while at the same time offering possible solutions, or positive avenues of action.

Mayor Pete has that talent, that capacity, in abundance. We are going to need that ability BIGLY.

I know he is a long shot, but I truly believe he is our BEST sot.

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