10. I actually think he is a stronger candidate than Harris

I supported Harris since before she even announced her run but switched to Buttigieg who is a true powerhouse with a political and oratorical talent matched only by Obama and Bill Clinton. Harris is great for California, I just can’t imagine her winning MI, WI and PA where Buttigieg is nearly guaranteed to win being the only candidate from industrial midwest. Those three states are the only ones that will count in general election (popular vote is 100% irrelevant). He should be able to carry Ohio also.

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

Like what I've seen of Pete, but wonder if he'd be cut-throat enough in the general election AdamGG Apr 2019 #11

Valid concerns. WeekiWater Apr 2019 #14
