Pete would be an ok President. He is definitely aware of the politics around him and can leverage that to his favor. I just haven't seen the long term thinking you need in a President. Pete seems far more transactional for now.
Like that transaction when he traded Biden: drop out of the primary so voters would coalesce around Biden and away from Sanders in exchange for a cabinet seat. The 3rd 4th and 5th place candidates coming into Super Tuesday all announced within a few days they were dropping out and endorsing Biden.
He strikes me as a shrude pragmatist and I'm not a fan of that, nor of ex CIA agents going into executive politics.
