We need to focus on the day after Trump is no longer president.
That’s a line Mayor Pete Buttigieg, who is now surging in the polls, repeats often. He believes the next president should be the opposite of Trump, someone capable of ending the chaos that currently dominates D.C. politics and turning the page to a new, sunny day.
I wholeheartedly agree, which is why I think Mayor Pete is the wrong choice for the Democratic presidential nominee.
Don’t get me wrong. I personally like Buttigieg, and he’s obviously quite different from Donald Trump.
