How Would Pete Be Handling This?

A veteran alongside a dodger.  Someone with a heart alongside a bully.  Someone with real faith as opposed to someone courting believers.  The difference would be SO stark, I believe ppl would have a real eye opener to what has been going on for the longest time.  The only thing he had against him was being gay.  I believe if he had a wife and a young child, it may have been a vision of camelot.  America could use a healthy dose of that in 2020.  I think the president would come out of something like that looking like a washed up fool.  Not because the other would toast him in barbs, but precisely that he WOULDN'T.

Our politics has a swamp to crawl out of.  It's a filthy process and Pete was a dose of wholesome.  Yeah, someone is gonna say gay is not wholesome, but that's the perspective I wished to avoid if he weren't.  Some ppl still can't get past that.

Pete will be back. He would never have made it all the way this time; ageism would have done him in. We'll need him in the 1T, but he's probably out for the remainder of the 4T.
