12. I think Kamala/Pete or Pete/Kamala would be a slam dunk

The selfish part of me wants him as VP so we would get 16 years of Pete on the national stage.

My mind say he should go for the top spot now. Trump is literally the antithesis to him. There is no more stark a contrast, all racial, ethnic, gender aspects aside, than that between Buttigieg and Trump.

It literally is darkness versus light.

I actually think (should he so choose to) that at the end of that 16 years, if he was VP then POTUS, (as he would only be 55yo) he could run and win the Senate seat for one of the IN Senators.

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