He may be polling at one percent now, but there was a time not too long ago that even having an openly gay man running for president would be laughable at best, and at worst, opening him up for ignorant treatment or threats of violence. All of this is to say, Buttigieg is riding a wave <---- cowboy. Will he ride it <--- cowboy all the way to the White House <---barn? With a crowded field <--- pasture and low name recognition, his chances aren’t exactly high. Still, Democrats couldn’t pick a more stark opponent for the Vice Presidential debates in fall 2020: Buttigieg versus Pence? We’d like to see it.

So they are suggesting him for Vice President. But I don't that will work. He's.either a game changer who will either go all the way, or people will decide he's too young or too gay. If it's the second, he won't be good for Vice President either. But I have a feeling he will go all the way. He is exactly the type of transformative leader we need, the kind we have not seen since FDR
First of all Pence will not have to debate the fudge packer with pucker factor because he will not last anywhere near that long.
The dude is polling at 1%? Maybe this puff-piece from Out magazine could get him all the way up to 1.5%!
Well, his last name does start with "Butt".
