- professorial was more accurate 4 years ago, probably. she's gotten a lot better since she decided to run for president. -- nm - znufrii Mar 3, 19:44 1
  - I don't say it as dig or a negative! (for me at least) -- nm - ty97 Mar 3, 19:47
- If I saw her talk, knowing nothing about her, and you asked me her profession I'd probably say 'college professor' - ty97 Mar 3, 19:37 3
  - I can agree that she lectures, but Buttigieg sounds more like a professor to me, and she's not Bloomberg boring. -- nm - Max Mar 3, 19:41
  - I would go for boring right now. (NM) - Marlowe Mar 3, 19:39 1
    - Oh I think she's brilliant, I think she explains her ideas well for people to understand. We are unfortunately in a reality TV oriented world - ty97 Mar 3, 19:44
- My BF told me that about her and I didn't speak to him for a day. -- nm - JackDawson Mar 3, 19:35 2

    - Yup. Welcome to "Sleeping on the couchville" -- and when he said he was supporting Bernie?! UGH -- nm - JackDawson Mar 3, 19:52
- To quote a professor, "Oh my, yes." -- nm - Beryllium Mar 3, 19:35
"not that one either." -- nm - znufrii Mar 3, 19:34 1
- We will never achieve our full potential until we can get past the sexism that women and men almost equally peddle -- nm - JackDawson Mar 3, 19:35
