Mayor Pete's rise is confounding, but also reflects cultural zeitgeist

Mayor Pete's rise is confounding, but also reflects cultural zeitgeist
Mayor Pete is in a good place to be Governor Pete, although I am not sure how the gay Episcopalian meme will play in rural Indiana, or even Indianapolis. His rise has nothing to do with identity politics, however. It has to do with his full-throated opposition to Trump. Still, it is not enough to get him the White House, but he might be a good Keynote speaker at the 2020 convention. He is too white to be Biden's VP and has not paid the dues required to beat Biden. He may be the new Bernie next time. I doubt he will take many Bernie voters away this time. He would be the ideal running mate for Harris.
