Pete Buttigieg’s polling strength is, as far as I can tell, based on one factor only: He’s a smooth talker. He speaks the kind of fluent Ivy League-technocrat-consultancy lingo that makes a certain kind of highly educated white liberal’s heart melt, especially when combined with an appealing sense of reasonableness and youthful, forward-thinking optimism. Alas for him, he can’t talk much about the wonderful improvements he made as two-term mayor of South Bend, Indiana, because they aren’t there.
James Freeman of the Wall Street Journal, notes that South Bend has an extremely high crime rate for a city its size and that a recent program to provide housing

My daughter lives in South Bend. It isn’t appealing, outside of the Notre Dame orb.

Never say never. Heck we elected to the presidency a community organizer from the morass that is Chicago whose claim to fame is that he got a gazebo built. Never underestimate the power of a smooth liar.

How is it that when Obama was running the so-called ''media'' couldn't scream loud enough nor often enough about the possibly of 'our first black president' (except Clinton, of course)? But they're strangely quiet about 'our first homosexual candidate?' They gushed over Clintons wife, ''the smartest woman in the world'', but no interviews with Buttigiegs wife, or is he the husband, the media hasn't asked the candidate. Wonder why?

No, we don't need to select a person just because he is part of a minority group that is 'oppressed'. And we should beware of people who can spout bromides and may even sound reasonable. When there is no proof to back up their claims of being able to 'solve' a problem. The logical question is this: Is South Bend better off after 8 years of this guy's policies & administration? Looks like the answer is - NO! But hey, politics is all about illusion, selling a fantasy and looking good while you do it!

Yes, #4, but he had a high melanin content and was elected for that reason alone. Buttplug is lily-white. And America is just not ready for a sodomite and his “husband” in the WH.

Re: Reply 5: why is the media silent over Buttigieg's homosexuality?
Voters in flyover country, Blacks and Hispanics will not vote for a homosexual for President.
If Buttigieg had a woman for a wife, not a man for a husband, he might have a very good chance of being the Democrat's choice to run against President Trump, if not now, in the future against another Republican..

No matter. What accomplishments did Hussein have? Yet he served two disgusting terms.

If he can't run a successful small city in Indiana where the economy is strong and crime is low, why would he be successful at running the country with the largest economy in the world? But then I am using logic which is not important to a typical Democrat voter.

Don't criticize his makeup, all girls wear it. A review of all of the undersized men in history exposes the fact that they were long on ambition but short on honorable qualities. Yes, they may have conquered lands and killed thousands or millions of people but that is not accomplishment, that is the talent of persuading others to do your dirty work for you. Napoleon, Stalin and Mussolini were notorious examples. If Pete got his pink little fingers on the keys to the Oval Office he would be more likely to attempt to confiscate weapons and put people in chains than the rest of them would. Bernie and Pocohontas want to put us in economic chains but Pete would spring more nasty surprises if given the chance.

The narrative on Mayor Pete is that he lacks Black support, yet neither the press nor Democrats mention the Issue that Dare Not Speak its Name. If his momentum continues past South Carolina, then at some point, Democrat King and Queen makers may have to publicly acknowledge he would be a drag on the ticket. If you enjoyed Chicago 1968, plan on an interesting Milwaukee 2019.

#2, (smcchk), my daughter lives in South Bend as well, pursuing her Masters degree. The Notre Dame campus is gorgeous. The rest of the town is a pit. A few months ago, she woke to find a bullet hole in her car door. She's there until May, then escaping. Mayor Pete is a phony, pure and simple. Here's hoping my daughter, and yours, stay safe.

It seems to me that each of the democ'RAT candidates has a..... what would be the right word....'shtick'..."A characteristic attribute, talent, or trait that is helpful in securing recognition or attention".
-Lieawatha rose to prominence as a 'Native American' (all 1/1024th of her).
-Heels-Up Harris' big thing is being a 'Woman of Color' trying to ride the 'descended from slaves' gig without saying so, even though she is descended from what.... Jamaicans on one side and 'real Indians' (from India) on the other.
-Crazy Bernie's shtick is that he is an old-school Communist and admirer of the failed Soviet Union.
-Butt-plug's shtick- what he is known for, even if mentioned only sporadically in the media- is that he is on the 'receiving end' in a homosexual 'marriage'.
Each one of these people is in the media ONLY because they are each a member of some group to which the leftist 'mainstream' media shamelessly panders.
Take away the 'shtick' from each one, strip away the camouflage, and the real underlying reason that the 'media' promotes them, writes endless favorable articles about them...the ONE thing all these people have in COMMON is that....... they are ALL SCREAMING HARD LEFTISTS!

it would be a surprise if PeteButt got the nomination, but it was a surprise when Barack Obama won. Too many Democrats don't care if they wreck the nation just so long as they benefit in the process.
Guessing the gay mafia is pushing this guy in the media, and they have plenty of money too. Just remember, not only are elections stolen, they are purchased as well.
Haven't watched the Dems closely, but have to wonder if PeteButt knows how to interact with people better than Biden, Warren, or Sanders. A little charisma, and a little skill in talking to people goes a long way. Just ask Donald Trump.

Even if Tinker Pete were competent, which he isn't, America isn't ready.
I hope that I'm dead by the time it is.

I want a real man in the White House; someone I can look up to that will uphold the US Constitution! Not some mamby pamby fancy dancing pansy. We've been there, done that. And isn't it just so cute how we let women pretend we'd ever put one of them in the White House? We don't need a 4th for bridge! Get. Over. It. And keep your campaign money. I don't really care what you do with it.
