Buttigieg shows he can handle Trump

Posted July 14, 2019 1:00 am

After watching the Democratic debates last, it is clear that Mayor Pete Buttigieg is the most well spoken and most capable Democratic candidate to withstand Presidents Trump's unorthodox debate style. With his wit and nimble verbiage, Mayor Pete will be able to outmaneuver and highlight President Donald Trump's childish tactics, such as those used against Hillary Clinton.

Also, Mayor Pete presents his policies in a manner that is conducive to the average citizen watching the debate. He avoids overly specific details and terms, while other candidates such as Andrew Yang speak in difficult-to-understand technical economic language.

Pete Buttigieg's adept debate skills, calm demeanor and moderate presentation of his policies, will prove beneficial as he seeks to capture the moderate conservatives and recapture liberals who voted for President Donald Trump in 2016.
