So who is Pete Buttigieg?

For one thing he seems to be the winner, by a minute margin, of the Iowa Democratic Party caucus.

Could he be the man to knock Mr. Trump off his perch and get hold of the keys to the White House?

Aged 38, he is a decorated army veteran and he’s gay.

Interesting credentials.

Traditionally, the Iowa caucus is seen as a strong indicator for presidential candidates.

Mayor of his home town, South Bend, Indiana, from 2012 up to January of this year, Buttigieg has also worked on congressional and presidential campaigns.

He knows his way around the political game.

He is the first openly gay person to seek the Democratic Party nomination for President. He came out in 2015. The following year he was re-elected as Mayor with 80% of the vote.

He would appear to be in possession of some degree of integrity and moral fibre.

Unlike the guy with the unique hairstyle.

It’s been a while since My Good Self darkened the door of my good friend and sparring partner, Paddy Power.

I feel a visit coming on.
