A man started shouting "Sodom and Gomorrah".
Pete responded to him "hello, again" with a laugh. The crowded chanted "Pete, Pete, Pete" and the man was talked to by security before being escorted out, but not dragged. No one swung at him. No one tried to fight him. Pete didn't tell people to "get him the hell out" or suggest they attack him.
He then said "The good news is, the condition of my soul is in the hands of God, but the Iowa caucuses are up to you"
Damn, it would be nice to have someone intelligent and with a moral compass in the White House.
I like Pete. I supported him for DNC chair in 2017. I'm not keen on him for POTUS for a number of reasons but I'd like to see him become more of a figure in the political arena.

Yep. He makes an interesting case for it that kind of has me sold on the idea. Not on him, mind you. But I want to look at his data before really saying for sure.
