Having read numerous posts where people complained that Pete Buttigieg was weak on issues and policies, this is a welcome and extremely impressive compilation of valuable information for anyone interested in his thinking on almost any issue that emerges.

Given his life story, his intellect, his massive education, and his raw talent that we all see blooming before our eyes, I would say that (not having his policy roll-out tuned up like a machine) has about as much a chance as
