Yeah. He's Classic American Standard. He even mentioned Studebaker. He's a little bit Kennedy, a little bit Norman Rockwell. He's probably a shoo-in, actually.
Here's the whole speech.

I'm sure that will happen anyway, but it's good to get a 'legitimate' one out there ASAP.
What? Why the '?' ?
Oh... I honestly didn't clue in that's a bathroom fixture company! If that's why. Otherwise...he has the typical mainstream image Americana-politics thing going on. It wasn't an insult, just an observation.

Do my analogies make sense now?
Make sense to me. Buttigieg has a very "Americana/ nostalgia" vibe. Totally reminds me of Kennedy and Rockwell. Also, he supports the Green New Deal, which is deliberately nostalgic of FDR's New Deal. It's all of that.

We have had a couple gay #Metoo incidents as well. Just because you're harassing or abusing your own sex doesn't mean it isn't harassment or abuse.

Personally, I find it rather sad that being compared to a Kennedy, esp. John, is still considered a compliment. Yes, humans are flawed beings, but he went above and beyond and got away with it.
