He was never too important to make time for a young Hoosier public servant of either party. And I have never seen a Senator’s office so filled with books.

America has lost a true statesman in Dick Lugar. A great mayor, senator, and mentor, he made the world safer, stood up for better foreign policy, and knew how to work across the aisle.https://www.washingtonpost.com/amphtml/national/indiana-sen-richard-lugar-leader-in-nuclear-disarmament-other-foreign-affairs-issues-dies-at-age-87/2019/04/28/29e61996-69cd-11e9-bbe7-1c798fb80536_story.html#click=https://t.co/Yy9HkDQafW …

As part of Richard Lugar's extraordinary legacy is the fact that he mentored extraordinary Pete Buttigieg. Two thumbs up Richard Lugar. Two thumbs way up Mayor Pete.

As well as a newly minted Sen. Obama. He was a true mentor.
-
yup, both
#BarryBanana and#MayorPete learned well from Rirchard Lugar on how to maintain#America's#superpower status with a smile in#Afghanistan and#Iraq.

He was a Republican left stranded by a changing party that eventually turned to nationalism and a reality TV star.

The Indiana Republican who ended his storied 36 yr Senate career (primaried) was the same R (sitting State Treasurer) who defeated challenger Mayor Pete for State Treasurer @ height of Tea Party, Richard Mourdock. Mourdock went on to lose to Joe Donnelly.https://www.npr.org/sections/itsallpolitics/2012/05/08/152292025/facing-a-tough-primary-lugar-encourages-everyone-to-vote …

When he was primaried by someone with the character of Richard Mourdock, I realized my state had lost it's way. Trump's margin here confirmed my thought.

Lugar and the newly elected Senator Barack Obama worked together on bipartisan legislation in the area of gun control...I believe

Are used to think it was normal the way Lugar ran those foreign policy committees with Biden for all those years. In these recent years, I realize how rare that bipartisan, respectful leadership really is.

of course there was no partisanship between Joe Biden and Richard Lugar when it came to maintain
#America's#superpower status and the almighty#dollar as world's reserve currency..

it's so ironic to hear
#JoeBiden talks about the soul of#America in his#Charlottesville video..
how many other poor souls have #JoeBiden and Richard Lugar freed or captured??

Aww man. I liked Lugar. Mayor Pete, if you don't get the Dem nomination for President, please try for the US Senate.
-
On top of that, there is no senate race here again until 2022, which will be for Todd Young's seat, and Young beat Evan Bayh by double digits in 2016.

If you are a Dem and you choose to drag
@PeteButtigieg on this thread, whatever your gripe is, you are not a very nice person. We expect that stuff from the#MAGA crowd. - 1 more reply

Sen. Lugar was one of our first and strongest cosponsors of the DREAM Act, and in later years, when it was deemed politically "inexpedient" for other R senators, he took the GOP lead. I hope he's running in the great beyond in his trademark short shorts. RIP Dick Lugar

This is a loss to not only Indiana but to America and the world. Senator Lugar was distinguished and respected, and the example we need today. I was not the same political party as Senator Lugar, but I never doubted his kindness and humility and his insights
