Buttigieg, the young U.S. President candidate has started to face pressure.

2-3 weeks ago, I wrote about Buttigieg, the 37-year-old U.S. President candidate.

    At the present, there are a lot of old candidates. One is Sanders who is 78 years old. Joe Biden who is now 76 years will reach 78 when the election arrives. If he gets elected as the U.S. President, he will get 82 years old after his 4-year term ends. President Trump who is now 73 years old will become 75 after this first term ends. Elizabeth Warren is about 70 years old.

    There is an interesting young person like Buttigieg. He has work experience as a 2-term South Bend Mayor. Few people know him. After his opening, he becomes quite popular.

    Buttigieg has excellent education background. After he graduated from Harvard, he furthered his study for Rhodes Scholarship at Oxford. He also joined the war in Afghanistan. He has the perfect quality of leadership.

    Even though he is 37 years old, he has been elected as South Bend Mayor for 2 terms. In his first opening, people may think that he is like Thanathorn. They liked him and he became popular. After that, he was seriously inspected. He started to face the problem like the Future Forward Party leader. If he can adapt and deal with pressure, he will come back. If he fails to solve the problems, he will start to decline because he does not have the national work experience.

    Now, the black heavily attack him on the case of the white police killing the black in South Bend. Program on CNN agrees that his 37-year-old age has several strengths. For example, he is a new generation person with new ideas. However, he has a weakness. When he is seriously attacked, he lost Emotional Capital or could not control his emotion. Many critics show that he could not solve the white police’s shot on the black. Will he be able to solve bigger problems?

    The new generation people in the U.S. may be like Thais. They demand for quick changes in all dimensions. I used to be the new generation long time ago. I would like to insist that the new generation people need to face more pain to gain more experience. Then, they can successfully overcome difficulties. This is like my Learning from Pain Theory.

    Several news analysts say that when Buttigieg faces high pressure, he becomes a technocrat. He focuses on rules of what is right or wrong. If he wants to be a politician, he needs to have more potential. The politicians cannot only talk about the laws. They must apply political science and survive. After the first pressure by the white police’s case, he could not control his emotion.

For example, Thanathorn said that ASEAN should be democratic and allow all members to interfere the local affairs. He was right by academic principle. If he lacks experience, he must listen to several groups of people. He cannot say whatever he wants.

The South Bend event started to reveal Buttigieg’s weakness like immaturity.

    I cannot accept Thanathorn to be a leader in Thai society one day. Thais have diversity. The new generation people must listen to the old generation people with more experience and a lot of good cultural capital. It is not wrong to think based on academic principles. In fact, they should study my 2R’s Theory: Reality and Relevance.
