    I’ve had my eye on Buttigieg for years now. He’d be an incredible President. I was hoping his role as Secretary of Transportation would be a springboard into the next primary. I think it’s optically been the opposite.

    Watch how fast the media misrepresents all of the train derailments, shipping incidents, and Boeing scandals on his “weak leadership” the second he throws his hat in the ring.

      That is exactly what I’ve thought about during his time there. So many disasters brought on by light regulation. The response has been far better than you would normally get. Unfortunately I think bureaucracy gets in the way a lot.

      The response from the public should be MORE Democratic support and stronger regulations. But unfortunately usually the response is “not enough is done” and give less support with zero regard to how that will impact policy.
