Buttigieg is well spoken and smart. He’s occasionally, slightly left of (US) center.
I also think Buttigieg is out to help one person—Pete Buttigieg. Every interview of him that I’ve heard sounds like he’s got a vision, not for the country or humanity, but a vision for Pete Buttigieg. Especially, for Pete Buttigieg to be President.
He gives some great speeches. He’s sharp and slaps back at MTG and her ilk very effectively. And, I don’t think he’s a Newsom who will pander to bigots.
But, I can’t shake the feeling that his motives are entirely egocentric.
Now, you can argue that almost every politician has the same drawback and you’d probably be correct. He might be better than most Democrats. He might be the best option. Still, something doesn’t sit right with me.
I don’t think Pete is the next FDR but if he becomes it and improves the lives of millions of people I wouldn’t care about his motivations. If his selfishness/ego drove him to improve America then I’m okay with that.

But like I said I doubt that will happen.
He isn’t. Dude needs to be a governor to prove he has the chops.
This is true for every McKinsey type.
The man is silly putty. He’ll adopt whatever ethos you imprint upon him.
