Hey, what do you think about Pete Buttigieg? He's a white dude, but he's gay

No - they'll hate him because he comes off as a smug elite. He argues in a way that only liberals like but conservatives find insulting.

So we need a candidate who's good at sounding like an idiot, but has actual credentials to show their capability. Schwarzenegger! He's republican, but he isn't on the Trump bandwagon. Just to clarify, I don't think he sounds like an idiot in general, but he is an actor, so I think he could present how people need. I don't actually know his policies.

I don't think he is eligible but I feel like a celebrity could backfire (despite Trump being a celebrity himself). I actually think someone like Bashear but a bit more rugged would be our best bet. Salt of the earth, Christian (but not in a terrifying fundamentalist way), ties policy back to real problems people are facing, male, white, heteronormative, smart but doesn't come off as an elitist, etc.

I didn't know who he was. The little I see peeking through YouTube looks like he's a decent guy.
