Sky News: Reports " Millennial mayor Pete Buttigieg to run for Democrat presidential nomination..The Democrat is the first openly gay major presidential candidate and has been popular in opinion polls. "
Lets Get Real:
First thing, this blog is a firm supporter of gay rights, from marriage, to adoption, etc, a late convert but converted, this is my political opinion not a discourse on gay rights!
It can be fun trying to say Mayor Buttigieg, so this blog is simple, it will go with Mayor Pete from this time onward. It has been nice to see a Democrat who states his religions belief, one that has served in Afghanistan, whoever serves in Afghanistan and Iraq is a hero to this blog. BUT and of course there is always a BUT, will the rust belt vote for a Gay Mayor, this blog would like to think so, he has charisma in spades and comes across as a nice, intelligence guy, you can not fake that kind of sincerity, also a WAR HERO. This blog looks at the POLITICAL reality, will very religious States vote for someone who is gay as their next President, my gut is saying NO. As Vice - President to Biden or Sanders that might work, it will get the US voter used to a gay Vice - President and future President. Whatever even people say in polls it can be different when they are in the privacy of the election booth. Mayor Pete could go all the way, just it does not feel the right time for the Oval Office, of course people said that about Trump, politics is an art not a science.
