senior political analyst, said.<\/p>\n<p>Hume said Buttigieg is &#8220;as fluid as he can be, [and] he seems to have something to say about nearly every issue.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He seems comfortable on the big stage &#8212; articulate, even humorous,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n<p>However, Hume warned that some of Buttigieg&#8217;s political positions are &#8220;well outside the mainstream&#8221; on issues such as\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/buttigieg-calls-for-scrapping-death-penalty-supporting-slave-reparations\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">reparations<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/pete-buttigieg-stance-on-key-issues-health-care-immigration\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">abortion<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;As far as I can tell from what\u00a0he said last night, there is no\u00a0moment before birth when he\u00a0wouldn&#8217;t support a woman&#8217;s right\u00a0to an abortion and that&#8217;s a\u00a0position not widely held in this country,&#8221;
