Reasonable politicians

I watched a portion of an interview of Mayor Pete Buttigieg conducted by David Axelrod.  I have seen Mr. Buttigieg before, of course, but what struck me was how he could speak in whole sentences about all kinds of subjects.  He was rational, reasonable, thoughtful.  He didn’t insult people.  He discussed issues knowledgeably.  He didn’t try to pit one group against another.  


It is so refreshing to hear people like Buttigieg and Klobuchar and Biden and Sanders and Harris and Warren.  While I don’t like some of the positions of every candidate, they are normal rational intelligent people.  They are not in politics because of some psychological need for adulation or to make money.  It really is a breath of fresh air.
