These short clips are good for sharing.
.@PeteButtigieg says some of his competitors are offering people vegetables. He says he's offering voters the “impossible burger” — it’s good for you but it has substance.

Why is it so rare for Democrats to have candidates who can speak to religious voters? @PeteButtigieg: “We’ve seen the way it can be weaponized ... That’s especially true for the LGBTQ community.”

COOL RESPONSES ON TWITTER
# 1: This is fantastic thinking on the spot
— Chris do us a favor though McNeal (@jamescmcneal) September 27, 2019
# 2: This man is ready for a general election audience
# 3: Beto’s Twitter supporters are insufferable
If more people saw this amazing discussion, I believe he would win in a landslide. A once in a generation leader. I think everyone could find something to admire in him regardless of their politics.

The most relatable one of the top 5. Pete’s brilliance, character and his 37 year life experiences has us convinced he will be the best President that can not only help our country out of it’s mess but also relate and communicate clearly and intelligently with world leaders.

He sounds really good. Calm, smart, funny at times, overall very well put together.

@PeteButtigieg just got done listening to you at #TribFest19. As a fellow Hoosier, I love how your rep liberal religious values. Wish I could get picture with you. You are doing a lot of things I thought would be good ideas for that sort of run. #PeteForAmerica
— strainwreck (@strainewreck) September 27, 2019
I'm a little in awe every time I hear him speak, goodness gracious, how is someone so smart, and articulate, AND caring? That was the best I've heard yet, I just can't wait until he's our president. #TribFest19 @SRuhle @PeteButtigieg #Pete2020

Seriously, I could spend all day listening to @PeteButtigieg and then turn around and sing his praises all night.

Not a perfect candidate or a perfect man, but he carries an incredible sense of honesty, compassion, and strength that fills me with hope.#TribFest19 #TribFest2019

@SRuhle in depth interview with @PeteButtigieg at @TexasTribune #TribFest19 has been enlightening. I would vote for this guy in a heartbeat.
— Mick Strongin (@MickStrongin) September 27, 2019
There isn't a major initiative his primary opponents want to accomplish that he doesn't. His path makes more sense & isn't incremental.
It is nice to see a candidate who understands the Millennial Angst. Plan for the future like you have to live in it. #TribFest19 @PeteButtigieg
— Madilyn Jarman (@MPJarman) September 27, 2019
I believe in ppl like you, Sir. I wish you the best of luck in any endeavour of yours. The US and world need younger people like yourself running for leadership positions. I hope you succeed!

That answer incorporated not only religion, but also lust and the Impossible burger and vomit and somehow all made sense. #TeamPete

Great job! A refreshingly articulate politician with the ability to flesh out the things that unite us rather than divide. Cheering you on!
