o you're not really the voice of the Democrats. You'd be guessing what they would want. Yeah it looks like it's pretty split between Harris and Buttigieg. All right let me give you this. You ready for it? Kamala Harris for president, Pete Buttigieg for vice president. Huh? Think about it. Buttigieg president we might not be ready for. And when I say we I don't mean me. I would love a gay presiden…

So I think Pete Buttigieg would be a great president if the public elected him. He would do a great job. I don't think any of that would be an England and it would be great to crack that ceiling and finally just get past that. But I think the public doesn't believe we're quite ready.
Now let's let me ask you this. Suppose you seasoned Mayor Pete with four or eight years as the vice president. After being seasoned he's older. He's experienced in the executive branch of the government because right now he's a mayor. And we have eight more years to just grow as a society. Is he ready then? Yeah. Pete Buttigieg plus four years or plus eight years is a whole different Pete Buttigieg. Remember he's just practicing right now. He's really young and he's already gotten a whole lot better on the campaign trail. He's getting better. He's got some serious game and he would have a lot of rich backers. Some of them would be gay which helps you know. It's good to have an enthusiastic base that has money.
So here's what I'm suggesting. The strongest package for the Democrats which they might come to believe on their own is it's a top three in the polls. Warren, Biden and Bernie are too old and too extreme. Once you've gotten rid of them and I think that the people with money and influence will work on doing that. Should they be successful in getting the top three out of the mix, a Kamala Harris-Buttigieg team wouldn't look bad. That would not look bad. And if you were trying to attract women, people of color, LGBTQ, can you beat that? Seriously could you beat Harris and Buttigieg as just a package that describes the Democrat party in the way that the Democrats say oh yeah that is us. That combination gets everything. Like we've got some straights and gays and males and females, some person of color, some white. It's all. And they're young enough.
So I don't think I've convinced you that my prediction of Kamala Harris as the nominee — I don't think she'll win against Trump but as the nominee — doesn't sound so bad now does it? Again look it got pretty quiet when I said that didn't you? Because it's the first time you could imagine somebody who would be competitive with Trump. Harris plus Buttigieg would be pretty competitive compared to the others who would be not competitive at all.
All right that's about all I got for now. I would like to remind you that my book "Loserthink" which is already screaming up the bestseller charts is number one in its category and it's not even on sale yet. That's just pre-orders. Its category being business and political humor and also most anticipated I think. I'm number one on Amazon.
So yesterday I did some personal signings of my book. If you're wondering how

I did it I just had people call me on my app. Let's see if you can see this. I can't see it but on my whiteboard I had a drawing and I would just add people's name to it and let them take a screenshot there. So they were using the interface by WhenHub app, contacted me personally and I would just write their name on the whiteboard and hold up my selfie phone and they would have a selfie of me with…
