I'm seeing a hunger for solutions oriented toward the future.

It's time to believe we can do big things.
It's time to turn the page. #PeteOnFox pic.twitter.com/yvT7Pd4NEf
On the impeachment trial:
Senate Republicans are telling Americans it's ok to lie, to cheat, to invite a foreign power to interfere with our democracy.

This election is our chance to turn the page on the politics of cynicism and restore integrity and decency to our government. #PeteOnFox pic.twitter.com/tmYUhyCdN2

How can you appeal to Republicans?
Worth looking at each campaign & asking: is this campaign depending on American unity & optimism in order to win or depending on more division & anger to win? Candidates have incentive to govern the same way they won because they want to win again.

As president, I will never let a state or a jury or any politician in Washington take that right away. #PeteOnFox pic.twitter.com/7aejdy2Cml
Tonight @PeteButtigieg showed you exactly why I’m proud to share him with the country. Unflappable. Honest. Ready to tackle the issues and always attempting to unify rather than tear down. Presidential. If you’re proud too, please chip in. #PeteOnFox https://t.co/zcVAlR1ZdW

IMPORTANT THREAD FROM ILYSE HOGUE REGARDING THE ABORTION QUESTION
Ilyse is the president of NARAL, a pro-choice group, and she worked with Mayor Pete to establish a clinic in South Bend. She has always been very positive about Pete as a friend to women’s right.
Much to unpack regarding the abortion question that Kristen Day asked @PeteButtigieg tonight on Fox News. Let's start with the massive applause in the room when Pete says he's pro-choice and a woman should make that decision. Way more than Kristen got:. /1 https://t.co/FT1dco4n4e

TWEETS FROM VIEWERS AND PUNDITS
Watching @PeteButtigieg on Fox feels almost soul cleansing. Positive, logical, life affirming messages, coming from an eloquent, articulate, compassionate leader. Forgot what that felt like! Quoting another brilliant leader, @MichelleObama “When they go low, we go high!” ❤️❤️❤️💯

What we share is a desire for our president to build upon our common goals and listen to our differences; to appreciate those who agree with him and honor those who don’t. @PeteButtigieg is exactly who we need in the White House. #PeteOnFox @Lis_Smith @TheStefanSmith #TeamPete
— Bevin Harde (@kershaw198) January 27, 2020
I have gotten texts from 2 grandparents tonight who heard Pete for the first time. Both are avid Fox News watchers and Trump supporters.

BOTH have told me how impressed they were. I couldn't be prouder to call myself #TeamPete #PeteOnFox

.@PeteButtigieg’s response to the pro-life Democratic woman in the Fox Town Hall was authentic, civil, and presidential — and this is why I am supporting Pete Buttigieg in the Democratic Primary. #PeteOnFox #PeteForAmerica #Pete2020
— André Béliveau (@andre_beliveau) January 27, 2020
Yes, Im suggesting you watch #FoxNews right now, where @PeteButtigieg is generating an awful lot of applause. And for good reason. To be fair, #ChrisWallace has always been an authentic journalist. @FoxNewsSunday https://t.co/cD5RFaP5R9

We need to find a nominee who can turn out the base, solidify our gains w/ swing voters, and cut margins among Republicans. The trick is he or she needs to do it without changing his or her message. What these standing ovations on Fox show is that that candidate is @PeteButtigieg https://t.co/VTSvePKWKg

Eight days before the caucuses, Buttigieg just got an hour inside the living rooms of Iowa voters watching Fox News in the 31 counties that flipped from Obama to Trump in 2016.

"We don't have to choose between endless war and completely disappearing from the world stage" -- @PeteButtigieg

Thank you, Mayor Pete, for your unwavering support of our men and women in uniform.
We MUST put an end to endless war. #PeteOnFox
Three times @PeteButtigieg holds true to his values on pro-choice policy. Integrity. #PeteOnFox

Thank you, @PeteButtigieg. We at @PPact agree: politicians shouldn’t be involved in the deeply personal decisions between any person and their doctor. 💗 https://t.co/VyuqrToqXt
— Yasmin Radjy (@yasminradjy) January 27, 2020
Pete did so well. He’s took questions from people who not only agree with him, but people who don’t agree with him. We learn through thoughtful dialogue and debate. It’s why @PeteButtigieg willl be a president for all Americans and not just his base. #PeteForAmerica #PeteOnFox pic.twitter.com/HQqHgtei5Y

Watching @PeteButtigieg on @FoxNews doing a town hall tonight in Iowa and wondering why there is any question about whether he should be the Democratic nominee for President of the United States. I’ll be voting for Mayor Pete.
— Scott Bridge (@ScoBridge) January 27, 2020
Pete Buttigieg is showing exactly why he is ready to lead all of America. Despite being challenged by Fox News audience on abortion, he stood firm in his beliefs and was honest. #PeteOnFox @PeteButtigieg
— Adam Keigwin (@akeigwin) January 27, 2020
Mayor @PeteButtigieg just laid out the case for War Powers reform in some of the clearest terms of this campaign -- he's ready to end the bipartisan failure of Presidents circumventing Congress to take military action, and won't let Congress shirk its responsibility. #PeteOnFox

Buttigieg, at Fox News town hall, rebukes Trump's "headaches" statement about 34 U.S. troops left with brain injuries from Iranian missile:
— Vaughn Hillyard (@VaughnHillyard) January 27, 2020
"We're talking about someone, the privileged son of multimillionaire...[who] then minimizes the injuries of somebody who did [serve]."
As a women’s healthcare provider in Indiana, I agree. #PeteOnFox https://t.co/aUpR0wJgHC
— Ob/Gyn for Pete 🇵 🇪 🇹 🇪 🌊 (@BryronyD) January 27, 2020
I trust Pete. Like all veterans, he understands what the call to service really means and he'll use that experience and judgment in making decisions. Pete leaves me feeling safe and protected under his leadership. #PeteOnFox https://t.co/3dQ903UGRs
— Kelly Brannock (@kellybrannock) January 27, 2020
.@PeteButtigieg is absolutely right -- we MUST "raise the bar for the use of force" when it comes to sending our troops into harm's way
— Will Goodwin (@Will_P_Goodwin) January 27, 2020
That's exactly the approach we need from our next Commander-in-Chief#PeteOnFox #TeamPete
Appreciate Pete talking about foreign policy in such a deeply personal away just now. He is the best Democrat to win! @PeteButtigieg #TeamPete https://t.co/PBPZJEY32d

This pro life question in the Fox News townhall with @PeteButtigieg has been asked 4 different ways. He already answered it. Mayor Pete stands by a woman's right to choose and doesn't believe the govt should dictate that.
— Ameshia Cross (@AmeshiaCross) January 27, 2020
How many ways must he answer the same question
This Iraq war veteran agrees with @PeteButtigieg. It’s best for veterans to lead in foreign policy when it is about sending our men & women overseas to unnecessary forever wars. I trust #PeteForPresident to lead me as Commander in Chief.#PeteOnFox #TeamPete

Buttigieg on Fox News just now: "I've heard some folks saying, This is no time to take a risk. And I agree, but I think the biggest risk that we could take, right now, would be to try to go up against this president, with the same old playbook that we've been relying on." https://t.co/ptBwIJISER
— Dan Merica (@merica) January 27, 2020
It was a cute line that folks laugh at when @PeteButtigieg referred to that young leader as, "Madame President," but it reveals a deeper fact about who #PresidentPete will be: someone who respects every single person he sees. #PeteOnFox #FoxNewsTownHall

Buttigieg defends his lack of DC experience. He argues if "I was the 305th most senior member, I'm not sure folks would be as surprised by my candidacy"
