Ana Navarro on Pete Buttigieg

Link to tweet

Today, I saw a video clip of @PeteButtigieg playing classical piano. Another where he speaks in Spanish. And this one, were he tells Parisians, he shares their pain -in French. Just imagine having a President whose intellect exceeds that of a root vegetable...for a change.

And yes. Imagine having leadership like that to look up to! Hard to remember when listening to a political figure made me actually feel proud to be an American, or hopeful that we can still have an America of which we can be proud.

@Turnip2000. I can't link to him because I'm in Twitter jail for 7 days, for this tweet, responding to @realDonaldTrump:

@realDonaldTrump That's right, you obese, evil, unbelievably stupid blowhard. We won't be satisfied until you and your moron kids are out of OUR House. The only things you "gave" us is chaos, hate, and tax cuts for the rich. I hope you die of a painful disease, ignored by everyone.

If we win in 2020, the divorce proceedings start November 4th when their RW colors come out in full bloom.

From now until November 3 of next year tho, milk them for all they're worth.

I see her on CNN and as an occasional co-host on the View, and she's very funny and despises Trump. I follow her on Twitter for laughs, not for policy.
