who is supposedly the front-runner.
I think he would have also been perfect for the head of the DNC, but Harrison (who ended up losing to the extraordinarily unpopular Graham by double digits, arguably the biggest polling error, along with Collins in Maine, of the entire election) was a pay-off to Jim Clyburn I wager.
I also think there are a lot of powerful people in the Party who do not want to see him being given a high profile position, as they see him as a serious contender for POTUS down the road, and they know he resides in a now ruby Red state where it is almost impossible for him to get elected as a Senator or the Governor. Cut him off for years from the spotlight and his 'brand' dies a bit. Politics is a brutal game.
I was a huge Buttigieg supporter, and not because he, like I am, is a member of the LGBTQ community. I supported him for POTUS becuase I truly though he was the best candidate for the office. He is an extraordinary communicator, arguably the best one we have, and is wonderful at the 'big picture' vision thing, as well as being hyper-intelligent and able to go full wonk if need be.
It would be a shame to see him not used to the full extent of his abilities, as well as a loss for the nation and the party.
Time will tell.
