      My old school liberal dad lowkey had a crush on Pete during the primaries, so I've thought about this a lot.

      I think they wanted him to be another Obama: a young, smooth talking, handsome (I guess), educated newcomer that is also one of the "acceptable" minorities to the DNC. (i.e. not trans). If you're not thinking in explicitly critical terms, you might be swindled by one of these types. They excel at saying nothing at all so you in the audience can interpret it the way you want.
