How great would it feel to have Mr. Buttigieg in the White House in January of 2021, for he is everything that Trump is not: Mayor Pete is young, honest, well educated, smart, experienced in how decent government works, humble, loyal to his partner in life, courageous in serving his country in the armed forces, successful as an elected and re-elected governmental leader, fit, pleasant to look at, well spoken, progressive, a solver of real world problems for his constituents, polite to everyone, creative, and dedicated to the important behavioral principles of his religion. I want to see him debate Trump on the issues and the contrast between enlightened truth and outrageous lies, between pragmatic realism and insane tyranny, and between moral commitment and rapacious greed could not be clearer.

In my 74 years, I have seen very few men or women who radiate truth, honesty and a sober but inspiring commitment to the highest ideals of America as well as this extraordinary young man from South Bend.  I would be honored and proud to say “Pete Buttigieg is my president.”  And We the People can make this happen between now and November of 2020 as we swear to each other we will give the bum’s rush to our corrupt, odious, loathsome and hideous figurehead who usurped the presidency and despoiled our beloved country while flaunting its Constitution.  May all generations band together to rid us of the scourge that is Donald Trump and his bootlicking tribe of minions and pathetic spawn.  And let’s register every person from every age group and every state, make sure we all get them and ourselves out to vote, and while we are at it, bring in a Democratic Senate so the other old geezer who has been gumming up the works, Mitch McConnell, also gets dumped out on the street.  This is the time for bold action.  My “Great State of Maine” will start the landslide for Mayor Pete.  Let’s make it a National Day of Liberation from Trump on November 3, 2020.  I can’t wait to start the party.  Freebo, Michael and the Rough Cuts, and everybody else get ready for rockin’ out to empower the party of the millennium:  Ladies and Gentlemen, crank up the amplifiers, shine up those dancin’ shoes, and let’s stomp all memories and damage done by that creep out of our lives forever.  But first we have serious electoral work to do, using that dream as a prime source of motivation.  To Mayor Pete:  Godspeed!  See you on Inauguration Day, with a wildly cheering crowd of grateful Americans on the mall, a throng way bigger than any lyin’ tweet from the foul thumbs and corroded infantile mind of our current bogus president.
