I just gotta say, Mayor Pete is winning this

I'm ridin' with Biden, and Warren is my #2. Pete, though, is so well-spoken tonight and his framing is spot-on.

The soundtrack of the debate for me so far is: squabble squabble squabble Pete speaks, I calm down, I listen squabble squabble squabble Pete speaks, I calm down.

I keep thinking of that old ad, “when EF Hutton speaks, people listen” When Pete speaks, I just feel clarity.

Buttigieg: "If you're a Republican in Congress, "consider the fact that when the sun sets on your career ... the thing you will be remembered for is whether in this moment, with this president, you found the courage to stand up to him or you continued to put party over country."
