(33,643 posts)He's an Afghanistan Vet, he went to Catholic School as a kid, and is now practicing Episcopal, he likes to talk about his faith (in a very moderate, Christ-like way, which I respect even though I'm atheist), and he's Married.
And he's sharp as a freaking tack.
Also, kinda sucks to say this, so apologies ... but you'd never 'know' he's gay, if you weren't told ... not in the way you 'know' ... with some folks? That works to his advantage as well. He basically is like the MODEL 'gay candidate', sorry to kinda stereotype, but he really is. Not sure we pull off a win with say, Nathan Lane ... in the current climate in the USA. Mayor Pete though? Different deal.
I have a decent amount of faith he can handle the attack machine ... if by no other means, just by emanating brains and goodness, which he seems to do effortlessly.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
