Pete Buttigieg, "Shortest Way Home"

[@always_b_natural703]

OMG! America! Please hire this person!

[@williamcrowley5506]

They can make jokes about his sexuality all they want, he isn't petty. He is going to go all the way and the country will be better for it.

[@emilyroberts8517]

Every appearance of Buttigieg that I watch only increases my respect for him. He is articulate, intelligent and most importantly he is kind. He is the first candidate I’ve seen who actually answered the questions asked of him, and his openness and honesty about his personal experiences are truly admirable.

[@kdog12345]

He's the CALMEST and most articulate Democratic candidate we have so far! #PeteForPresident

[@BeautifulEarthJa]

No, that's Tulsi. What do they have in common? They have both been to war.

[@gregghanson6095]

He could squash Trump like a bug with one sentence. He's the complete antithesis of Trump!! We are in desperate need of his intelligence and moral compass. Just imagine a candidate who can mesmerize an audience with his brain! I do believe that our only salvation is a true leader who can stimulate the imagination, trust and confidence of this country.

[@dawgeral333]

He's SO articulate!! He takes complex ideas...and boils them down to their simplest basics. I'm impressed and charmed...and surprised!! He'll probably get my vote, now. I'm stunned.

[@polanco187]

I support Pete for president. He is so smart, so articulate, and so thoughtful. We need a candidate with basic, American, Midwest values and groundedness. The rapt attention of this audience shows me that he is taken as a serious candidate as people were taken by JFK.

[@deborahstark3490]

Very well put.

[@reilegs2012]

I agree. He is also very calm and soothing in a positive way which a lot of politicians lack today.

[@reilegs2012]

I have always watched politicians and Government Office candidates speak and campaign. But it is only this candidate, #MayorPete, which whom I actually listen and understand what his point and perspective are in governing. The rest I found them to Be orators but never really caught my attention or dug deeper on my interest for them. Mayor Pete definitely can be a great Presidential Candidate and I hope he makes it.

[@stephenfletcher6801]

I pray that Democrat voters recognize that this man is, hands down, the one to support in the primary voting booth. From what I have seen and heard during the several interviews I have viewed, he is brilliantly qualified to lead this troubled country.

[@He1sbelles]

I wish I lived in the US so I could donate to his campaign. Such a breath of fresh air in US politics. I hope he manages to get the 'name recognition' that he absolutely deserves, I think he'd make a fantastic president.

[@fketola]

Me too!

[@Pteradactylist]

You can help in other ways, like hacking his opponents' email. Apparently that's fair game!

[@Luchino]

The contrast between this articulate, compassionate, intelligent young man and the thing that fumes up the White House with stench today could not be greater!

[@marcuscole4394]

Really like this guy. He's smart, kind, sensitive, intelligent and he cares about community. Community is one thing that is lacking in D.C. The people that are there are quite detached from where they are from. This man is quite connected to the American populace. I don't know if he's ready, but he's a good bet for our future as a Nation. I hope he gets a lot of attention and we all get a chance to know him.

[@margaretmccollister6124]

I believe "authentic" will replace "unprecedented" as our word of the year. Pete Buttigieg is authenthetic, brilliant, composed and I can not wait to vote for him in the democratic primaries. How can we get his voice out there?! I have already donated to his campaign and you should too please.

[@roamingartists1106]

Volunteer to reach more people.

[@conniegee8664]

Is there a topic that Mayor Pete is not knowledgeable in? This man is compassionate and articulate. He is a decent man of faith. He cares about Americans. He respects everyone. He's from the industrial Midwest. He has put South Bend, IN on the map. He served in the military. As a born Hoosier and retired US Army veteran who left the state because of its discriminatory, anti-environmental policies, I can breathe a sigh of relief knowing there are other Hoosiers who are caring and compassionate. He is a centrist who can work with both political parties. We need something like Mayor Pete. MAKE AMERICA PROUD AGAIN.

[@sophelet]

Pete Buttigieg is very impressive! He has a sharp mind, a lot of information at his fingertips, a reasonable approach, fantastic applicable experience, and the tools to be a great president. Now he needs a lot of support and name recognition, and strong interest and openness from the press without them trying to pigeonhole him immediately. I hope he goes far.

[@maymac2012]

Buttigieg is impressive as a candidate. His resume is very substantial. In this age of Internet/information, letting a young generation be president makes great sense, because they have better understanding of what technology has revolutionized our life and our future. Why let those earlier generation lead us when most of their experience is dated and no longer relevant.

Every speaking point comes across as well-thought, convicted, and original. The most impressive candidate by far in his own lane. His decision to come out controls his message and does not forfeit the LBGQ community if it is something that comes out by other means.

Donated $10 so he might be included in debates... If you like what he's saying or how he says it, you should too!

I love how he addresses things that might be seen as negative. It just feels like how a real person would react.

As a 60 something, its time to hand the mantle of the future to those who will be here to enjoy it. Sanders and Biden please take note.
