6. Granted that I'm already sold on Mayor Pete,

but I was struck by this comment from the McDonald's guy about Pete:

"He was really good... the only one who looked and sounded like a president. I liked what he said"

I've gotten so stressed out by all the speculation and the talking-head chatter that I've deliberately stayed away from MCNBC, CNN, "live commentary," and all the rest for more than a week now, and I just watched the debates as is, with no one telling me what I should "watch for," who was up, who was down, who dissed whom, who Trump's supposedly scared of, etc.

And watching Pete last night, I had the same reaction as the guy from McDonald's. Yes, several candidates had their "breakout moments" and got media attention the last two nights, but it was only when watching Mayor Pete that I had the feeling that I was listening to, and watching, a president.
He's the real thing.
