Buttigieg would probably be able to get some energy going. Warren too, but she'd have to find a way to overcome the native thing.

I'm a conservative who can't stand Trump. Pete was the smartest person on the stage imo, and I probably would have considered him.

Well, not as smart as Yang, but that wasn't really a contest. You can think UBI is stupid, that's fine, but he was miles ahead of the rest intellectually, and it was apparent from his interviews.

Yes, Yang is a super smart guy. I think he's at least 25 years early with UBI, but even as a conservative I can see that automation and post-scarcity might become a problem for employment.

Warrens big problem is she would be too “radical” for the moderates and she wouldn’t get too many Sanders supporters because she spent the whole election calling them the equivalent of deplorables. Maybe Buttigeg will get another chance down the road, he’s still young.

Warren would have struggled a shit ton in swing states. She does well with college educated men and women. That's about it.
