Buttigieg is smart and very likable, but is essentially an empty shirt, stuffed with big donor money. He's in the race on the strength of a few millionaires deciding he should be in it, and he really has zilch in the way of policy. What does Pete stand for? Seriously, see if you can think of what he's actually for, what his signature policies are, without looking them up.
I've been paying pretty close attention and the closest I can come up with is "If you like Joe Biden but think he's too old, vote for me".
