I just wish Mr. Buttigieg wasn't confined to such a low-stakes role in the administration. It's great that he gets the occasional moments like this, but he's not exactly being set up for a run at the Presidency in 2028.

I dunno if I'd consider Secratary of Transportation as a low stakes role, he's been out and about getting IIJA funds out across the country and there to present new rail, highway, air and marine infrastructure improvements.

Plus, if an unspeakable fate were to befall thirteen specific individuals, simultaneously rendering them unable to perform their duties, you'd have a President Buttigieg.

He needs to age into his vibe first.

Mr. Buttigieg is just a small bean from Indiana. If we want real leadership, we need to look to a more successful set of mayoral candidates. Like Michael Bloomberg or Lori Lightfoot.

I would not like either of those options. I'd take Jeff Jackson (NC) or Buttigieg any day.
