Showing Original Post only (View all)Pete Buttigieg has everything except positions on major issues [View all]
From the LA Times:

Many things to like about Mayor Pete, not the least of which is his authenticty, which I think will be important in the general. But I happen to think detailed knowledge of the issues and ways to adress the many problems we face are much, much more important when it comes to beating rump and fixing the mess he will leave.
The fact that Pete is surging in the polls without providing any positions or specific policy proposals on major issues is troubling, to say the least, for several reasons. And saying "he'll be coming up with those later" doesn't make it less troubling.

Those are intelligent opinions but not proposals, or even firm stances in some cases

I followed up on a few of those things, and they are incorrect or incomplete.
