The One Thing Last Night’s Debates showed us it is Time to Do.
Robert Busch
.....
One person took a different approach in Tuesday’s debate.
Some say that he is not passionate enough, others say he is brave enough to be openly gay, but at the same time doesn’t use his sexual orientation as an argument to win voters.
Of course you already know who I am talking about: Mayor Pete.
He admitted to not knowing what it feels like to be a person of color, but reminded everyone that he knows about weapons, because he is the only veteran among the candidates. Attacked for accepting billionaire donations, he pointed out his grassroots campaign and used a joke to direct people to his website. Talking about education, he mentioned that his partner is a public school teacher and pointed to how that shaped his perspective around the topic.
Most importantly, this young man reminded all of us that it is not about destroying each other, but about repairing all the damage that has been done by the Trump administration.
I am not saying that he has to be the candidate, but he had a good night.
Maybe it is time to not limit ourselves to one candidate, but to observe carefully how things are unfolding.
There are some serious allegations out there and we should find out what they are all about.
It is not easy to remain presidential when others throw dirt at you, but Pete, throughout it all, presented himself as a moderate candidate for all Democrats. He not only remains in the race, but became someone to look out for.
I think he is the big winner of the night, but this is just a moment in time. The spotlight now turns to him; we will now see how he reacts under attack.
It is going to go back and forth. The most important thing is that we start focusing on the policies and not personalities of the candidates and be open to changing our minds.
Are you open to changing your mind, or have you already made your choice?
