Michigan would be exquisitely served by a Buttigieg Senate run. But the nation would be better-led if he runs for the White House in 2028. Am of the unshakeable conviction he will win, in either pursuit. Believe others, by the day, will see him as a nation's desperately needed answer. And he is.

Disagree: Been voting for 35 years and it's not always a slam dunk. Lots of players through the years are within an eyelash, either way. It helps sometimes to table a vote for a year, or even more. History constantly sharpens perspective. You want a vote to be disciplined, and not one you regret.

Neither gender nor sexual orientation compares with the prejudice Obama twice defeated. To repeat: Nikki Haley easily would have tromped Biden, or Harris, had she been able to wrest Trump from the cult. Buttigieg won't get votes from those who would never vote for a Dem. But he'll get ample others.

"Qualifications" are easily established as Presidential candidates go. But you've got to make people excited to vote for you. HRC began with 55% unfavorables. They never changed. Harris flunked out of the 2020 primary, then had Biden's (unjust) stigma. She did better, frankly, than anticipated.

It's not gender, per se. And here's your proof: Had Trump not somehow obstructed her way, Nikki Haley would have been the GOP nominee, and winner, against either Biden or Harris. Being gay will no more disqualify Buttigieg than being Black kept Obama from two terms. It's about the person -- solely.
