My parents, like many older Vietnamese-Americans, historically vote Republican. They didn’t vote for Trump, but they’re sympathetic to him and like how tough he is on China.

But they like @PeteButtigieg’s demeanor. They’ll be voting for him on Super Tuesday in VA’s open primary. pic.twitter.com/tjRraTIu26
Around ten thousand people showed up for @PeteButtigieg’s “town hall” in Virginia today.

I’m not kidding. It was advertised as a town hall.

Last night #PeteButtigieg drew a crowd of 8500 and now today he drew a crow over 10,000. Pete keeps building more every day. Pete was completely unknown until about 9 months ago all other had name recognition and money. pic.twitter.com/xMldXDLfw5
