think he would have been President if he had gotten the nomination.

But . . . if he is not going to run - I would absolutely love it if he would throw all his support behind Pete Buttigieg. I think that man is the future of the Democratic Party and the future for America. I have visions of young people coming out in huge waves the way they did for Bernie - and I want very badly for Mayor Pete to make it onto the main stage. I want him - we need him - in the debates.

His going to get swamped by the Democratic elite - and he is not going to make it far without real grassroots wave. Bernie could definitely give him that attention.
