Mayor Pete is a delight — intelligent, quick on his feet, a man of faith but also a man married to another man, and as such, a groundbreaker. Give him four years and some gray hair and he’ll be ready for the show.

Buttigieg will not win a state on Super Tuesday — not even close — and should give up the dream of 2020 as soon as possible. But thanks for that line on Tuesday about a general election race between a man stuck in the social mores of the 1950s and another man frozen in the revolutionary politics of the ’60s.

The pair of billionaires, Steyer and Bloomberg, are vanity candidates who should look in the mirror of reality. They can do the country an enormous favor by spending zillions in the general election, helping along those who are still blind to the fraud of Donald Trump.

If most of the above candidates don’t leave the race now, we could have a situation on Tuesday where Sanders wins, say, 30 percent of the vote in California, but no other candidate gets any pledged delegates. The threshold is 15 percent of the statewide vote. So, two-thirds of Democrats could vote for someone other than Sanders, and he would be the only one with something to show for it. That’s insane.

Now, to the chase: Joe Biden vs. Bernie, back where it started. Sigh. “I’m not going to be quiet anymore!” said Biden, trying on his alpha male. Actually, he doesn’t have to shout like red-faced Bernie to prove he has a pulse.

Sanders’s dogmatic inflexibility is also his strength with the kids — He’s so authentic! Donald Trump makes Bernie viable. In an era of chaos, why not vote for a grumpy ideologue with a heart condition who sees the world as a class struggle.

You should be careful making political predictions in our perilous era, but there is one I can make with assurance: Four more years of Trump would be catastrophic. Look what’s he’s already done — attacking Supreme Court justices, trying to interfere with the rule of law, ousting good public servants to get revenge — since impeachment.
