Good for Buttigieg. Hopefully, it was a great event. Don't understand the haters here.

I hope he was able to fly private to Napa

Likely. Many presidential candidates get them donated. It's an easy way to save time and prioritize more important things.

Not sure. But I don't think it matters. When you're running for the most powerful position in the world, spending a few million a year on travel so you can save hundreds of hours is a no brainer. Nearly every single serious candidate does it.

The problem isn't just private travel. A flippant "spending a few million a year on travel so ... " is. That makes sense to you - but not to average voters. Have to ask. Are you a member of Pete's National Investors Circle?

If you're running for president you likely have a high net worth, have high net worth friends and your time is far more valuable than the average American. Far to valuable to wait for flights when you have only 1 year to become the most powerful person in the world.

The president, or big candidates, is not average America. I do not think the average American should think "well I think it's strange to fly private, so that's bad." It's also strange to make decisions that impact millions of lives, decide on laws, lead 350m people.
