Buttigieg 2020

I agree with you, Pete isn't an attracting media attention by fluke. And his appeal to dissatisfied evangelicals is real, but not off-putting to someone like myself, being an atheist. It's similar to Obama. I knew he embraced religion and occasionally made reference to it, but he didn't aim to build legislation around it. There's a respect/tolerance threshold that he never overstepped.

And, you're right, the lack of diversity in Pete's support is definitely the biggest remaining concern, IMO. But his campaign will embrace minorities and find ways to improve their lives too, I'm sure of it. I looked up South Bend's demographics and it's 26.6% black and 13% Hispanic. So to become mayor, Pete had to reach out to that 40% of the population. It won't be something new to him. He just has to do everything at a national level now and, as analysts have pointed out, there's a lot of work ahead in establishing campaign groundwork across the country. One day at a time, we'll get there!
