In reply to the discussion: Some Thoughts on Buttigieg Taking Off and Warren Seeming to be Grounded [View all]LuvNewcastle
(16,835 posts)4. Warren comes across as shrill and overly excited sometimes.
Buttigieg is generally even-toned and more relaxed. That's what makes him the opposite of Trump. I think most voters prefer a more laid-back President; it makes them feel more secure when the President isn't ruffled.
I'm not sure if Warren is in it to win. She is always more concentrated on policy than politicking, and it's very possible that she's in the race to get her ideas some exposure, which could be better for all of us. She would be absolutely perfect for a good cabinet post or Fed chairman. She's intelligent and dedicated to her work. I just don't think it's in the cards for her to win the Dem nomination.

It's obvious that everyone gets to choose the candidate they want to support, isn't it?

I think there is room for both of them just as there is room now for a Beto and a Pete.
