    If you call failing upwards “doing well”, sure.

    He’s pretty good at cleverly pointing out the obvious about fascists, but actually governing, whether as mayor or secretary of transportation? Not so much.

      This is a low bar I know, but Mr. Buttigieg did waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better than Sen. McConnell’s wife Ms. Chao as Secretary of Transportation.

      Considering the current state of the world I think being very clear and clever at pointing out obvious fascism is probably something we need more of.

        Agreed. Which is why he should be a pundit of some sort.

        Not the head of a regulatory agency that has failed to regulate before disaster resulted on numerous occasions under his watch.

      I don’t particularly call anything he’s done “failing”— esp his current job.

      Btw, you should check him out kicking ass on Fox News. It’s hilarious. I don’t know why they keep having him on to keep embarrassing their hosts like that….
