He's very impressive - his intelligence and poise are at the top of the field, but his shortcoming in mass appeal, on this date, rule him out, I think. Warren was maybe my initial choice, but I soured a bit when she waffled on healthcare cost/funding. It made her weaker as a candidate. She's still my second choice.
Klobuchar is pragmatic enough to do a good job, I think.
Mostly I agree. Buttigieg rings a little hollow. Age will benefit him. I wouldn't call not having a completely calculated model for a sixth of the economy "waffling", particularly since none of the current plans will survive the contact with Congress in their current form.
I can join your hope for pragmatic, but Klobuchar has a passive-aggressive streak that turns me off. "... are you calling me dumb, or what, Pete?" I find, she should work on that. There is a better way to deal with not knowing "Obrador".
Good to see you. Pleasure, as always. To steal a word, "gonga".
