But that moderate bearing is being tested as his opponents challenge him to reveal more about his two years working for an international consulting company. But with more than eight weeks until Iowans march to their caucuses, there is still time for a drumbeat to begin. “The more heat there is, I welcome that," Buttigieg told reporters in Waterloo Friday. “We’re talking about the American presidency and you should be able to show you can handle tough decisions, tough questions."
