(29,251 posts)post debate interview. He says Sanders is operating as if its the 60s, because of the discussion about Cuba... Pete said in the interview its because times have changed now. Hello, Sanders did not bring up the issue, he was responding to the question put to him about it. Thats just bad-faith ageist stereotyping on Petes part.

(2,227 posts)I thought the comment summarized the discussion accurately.
But I am a Pete fan. You apparently aren't.

(2,870 posts)tonight. I have doubts he can get the nomination (I would be fine with that), but he will certainly be a candidate for a cabinet job.

(6,545 posts)Talking over everyone made his look really bad. My wife liked him before, can't stand him now. "Typical male bluster". He listened to too many people saying he needed to show passion, and came across rude, which isn't normally him.
I really like him, and have sent him a significant amount of cash, and I want him to stay in the public arena, but this probably cost him the candidacy.

(2,344 posts)Hes sort of my vanity favorite.... if I could vote for a candidate that may not have a chance of winning it all... and vote for someone when I didnt have to worry about the hellfire of Trumpism for four more years... Pete would be my favorite. But gotta go with who has the best chance of beating Trump.

(23,423 posts)As a gay man I was wondering. Ive heard they expressed and understand the viewpoint. I do find it interesting that it hasnt been sort of reflexively criticized as a viewpoint.

(6,538 posts)For me it was Pete, Amy, Elizabeth. Bloomberg is out. Bernie is out. Steyer has a chance, but for tonight, although he did well, he's out. For me, it's between Pete and Amy.
And, I don't know if they can win, but these are the two that I am responding to best. Pete is very smart, has a military background, good family man, and he makes sense. I don't care that he's gay (let's face it, that is problematical), and I don't care that he is younger. Both he and Amy focused on what I am very worried about: beating Trump. That's what makes the choice agonizing.
I won't cry over any of them, and I am going to support whichever one of them gets the nomination.
Steyer is right, and he did start months ago to run ads against Trump. That's very much in his favor. And, he said he is scared of Trump winning. This shows he knows how much is at stake. He came right out and said very emotionally that the country is at stake.
On a totally irrelevant note, I would love to say, "President Pete."

(149,645 posts)So sharp, the way he organizes his thoughts and then expresses them; the calm intelligent demeanor, and on and on.
I too would love to be able to call him President Pete.
