Opinion | Democrats attacking Pete Buttigieg's lack of experience are making a critical mistake. By scott_dust.

Democratic presidential candidate former South Bend, Indiana Mayor Pete Buttigieg speaks during a campaign town hall event at Washington Liberty High School February 23, 2020 in Arlington, Virginia.Numerous Democratic presidential candidates have taken shots at Pete Buttigieg's lack of experience.Rather, intelligence is the best way to assess leadership ability and Buttigieg appears to have that in spades.

Scott Dust, Ph.D., is the Dr. John F. Mee Endowed Assistant Professor of Management at the Farmer School of Business, Miami University . Visit Business Insider's homepage for more storiesSeveral candidates have criticized former South Bend, Indiana mayor, Pete Buttigieg, as unfit for the Presidency, citing his lack of experience. In Tuesday's debate in South Carolina, Buttigieg fought back, positioning his lack of experience as just what the country needs, and not the old-school,.

For Buttigieg, cartoonish music accompanied sarcastic statements about how he had successfully "installed decorative lights under bridges" during his time as South Bend mayor and "negotiated lighter licensing regulations on pet chip scanners." Indeed, if Buttigieg is elected, he'd be the first president to serve as Mayor without also serving.

It's impossible to know how intelligent Buttigieg really is. But absent a Wonderlic test, the best signals we have are that he's a Rhodes scholar, a graduate of Harvard and Oxford, and he speaks eight languages. Keep in mind, however, that it will be challenging to differentiate among candidates using such metrics, as the pedigree of all of the candidates are pretty impressive.To be sure, I'm not advocating for Buttigieg.
