As someone who was unfortunate enough to have grown up in Indiana, I'd rather Buttigeg stay there and keep trying to drag that state into the 20th* century.
In think it’s because he’s an excellent communicator and stays that way even going on Fox News and such. Like even if we don’t trust him deep down, the skills he has are conductive to winning the election which is basically all that matters.
I don’t know if that makes him the most winning choice, because bigots, but we’ll see what happens.
He may be an ok communicator but hes a bit of a dumbass. The guy who openly said he wanted to do a gun ban in fucken Texas probably isnt the wisest person on an electoral level.
