    If Pete Buttigieg is elected President, the White House will have its President and First Man.

    Yeah, that'd be a first. Don't think the country is ready for that but he's a smart dude.
    Harvard and Oxfford educated, served in the Navy as an intellgence officer. I think
    he'd make a good president.

    If I were forced to vote for a Democratic candidate, I'd pick Mayor Pete. He is the most sensible sounding of that bunch IMO.

    And the question of what to call the first husband also came up when it looked like Hilary was going to win in 2016.

    I think Pete is just laying groundwork for future.

    I don't care much about his sexual identity but he's a raving liberal, and his presidency would be a disaster. Fortunately, we won't have to worry about that until 2024, at least.

    I'm a registered Republican and will be voting on Nov. 3 to re-elect the President.

    However, I feel that Pete Buttigieg could overcome the negative consequence of being Gay, thereby amassing enough votes to become the Democratic pick at the Convention, by letting it slip that he's keeping a Mistress on the side.

    This would almost assure him of meeting Trump in the General Election, and possibly even winning it!

    Nope He has Military service on his resume but got a commission by pulling strings. And before that he was anti-war activist.

    Yes, because everyone will agree that being immoral enough to have a mistress when a married man is an admirable trait. :rolleyes:

    I am guessing that his “mistress” might look something like this person, @Hal Pollner ......

    @Hal Pollner

    What might those negative consequences be?

    But they CAN be unimagined, as they were before seeing them.

    I didn't know that...

    Shirley, everyone knows that he has a MISTER and who's not being kept "on the side" because he's Pete's HUSBAND, for God's sake!
