I see that various pundits are competing to write the political epitaph for Joe ‘son-of-a-bitch‘ Biden. That’s entirely understandable. It’s been clear for some time that Biden is on the threshold of senility, and it is only my charitable disposition that prevents me from speculating about which side of the threshold he occupies.
And then there was the desolation wrought by the Democrats’ impeachment entertainment. From the start, it was clear that the chief casualty of that amateur theatrics was going to be Joe Biden and his sniff, sniff, sniffing son Hunter.
Everyone who is not Bill Kristol understood that the bullet of that purely partisan hit job would miss President Trump.

FTA: "Remember, Mayor Peter is the openly gay son of the editor and translator of Antonio Gramsci’s Prison Notebooks. Gramsci’s important contribution to the literature of totalitarian tyranny was his idea that Communist dictatorship could only come to free countries by means of a ‘long march through the institutions’, cultural as well as political."
And the acorn doesn't fall far from the tree.
Thanks, OP, for that alternate link!

The money quote from the article: “I am confident, though, that the sacrificial lamb will not be Mayor Pete Buttigieg.” Bazinga! Sacrificial lambs indeed.

Of course, Mayor Pete is a communist. And...so is Amy Klobuchar. I'm from Minnesota...take my word that she is no moderate. She presents herself as appealing as a warm casserole straight out of the oven on a cold Minnesota winter afternoon, but she has ice water in her commie veins. Communists are control freaks. They want to control every aspect of your life. By any means. The end justifies the means.

The one thing missing from this list of reasons that Buttplug will not win is that, despite what they rant on twitter, America is not ready for a homosexual and his “husband” doing deviant things in our White House.

Buttigieg is not going to win because the voters in flyover country, Blacks, Hispanics and the Muslims will not vote for him..

...while I cannot picture a "President Buttplug" and the " first husband" ...
...I also could not have ever imagined a gay, mulatto, muslim, marxist from Kenya in the White House...
...never underestimate the STUPIDITY of demsheep voters .

Don't be smug about the chances of Buttigieg winning. It's possible. If Republicans don't turn out to vote in November or DO turn out and don't vote for President Trump, then it's possible we'll have President Buttigieg .

Pete B+8 represents a politician of opportunity. He brings nothing to the table for America. He is a gay, failed mayor of a small city. It is sad (for the democrats) that they have to attempt to make him a viable candidate, since the rest of the pack are even bigger losers!

The Democrat party is bleeding out from poor management and leadership. They are calling up C-Span saying they will vote for Trump.
Buttigieg will not get the nomination and a brokered convention looks ominous.

Pete may be intelligent but with that intelligence comes several types of mental illness. We have had many of his type in history who rose to power because they were able to attract followers. All of the democrats are mentally flawed in one way or another, else they would not be democrats, but each is imbued with the lust for power. They will continue to split the democrats, each according to which one has the characteristics favored by that faction of democrats but we will continue to see the seesawing of winners right up until the end. Polls and votes are useless at this point in trying to pick the biggest loser.

The only way Mayor Pete will get into the Oval Office is if he's wearing a Visitor's badge.

All it will take for middle America is a mental picture of Pete and his husband dancing at the inaugural ball.
Melania Trump will be a tough act to follow for anyone, but seriously?!

Problem is the Dems have to nominate someone. If Lizzie Borden and Red Bernie split the left-wing vote, Petey may end up on top.

I really don't care if Mayor Pete gets the nomination because President Trump will cut him up like a buzz saw or any of the other communist. What I really wish for, because I thoroughly dislike the man, is to see the 'No Malarkey' tour bus parked behind a nursing home and Mr. Pushup Biden a resident. That old stupid mummified fool is tiring along with his criminal billionaire son always in the news. It's time to investigate and lock both of the Biden's up.

Mrs. PeteButt isn't going to win? Wasn't the same said about Obama early on? The question will be who is in the best position to derail Comrade Bernie. Doesn't look like Biden, btw.

Little Petie would be a disaster. Many Heads of State in much of the world would refuse to deal with a sodomite. Not prejudice. Just values judgement. He reminds me of Hussein. Talks a lot while saying nothing. Quid Pro Joe and Lying Lizze are collapsing. Bunny is too radical. Watch out for Mini Mikey.

The unfolding Pandora's Box of corruption is going to take Mite Me out of it.
The more Warren talks, the more she makes a fool out of herself.
Crazy Bernie wants to get into people's personal privacy and tell them what to do.
Tulsi is given almost NO notice in the press since she went after High Priestess Hitlery
Yang's promise of FREE MONEY is falling flat when people realize that won't fly when the money is gone...
Klobutcher says she will "fight for yoy"--- at least until everyone becomes a grain of sand in the Sahara
And Steyer and Doomberg think they can BUY the nomination with no ground game by fake positions of standing by the "little guy" or with every picture of Nobama ever made.
So we turn to John F'ing Kerry and Hitlery to bail them out???
They are in heap big trouble--

Remember when Saint Obama could do no wrong and the useless media were constantly on their knees in front of him? Remember when it was the First Black and the First Black that? Now I wonder why that same Useless Media isn't crowing about the First Homosexual this and the First Homosexual that? And lecturing us about how wonderful it will be to have the First Gay as husband...or wife, I'm not sure which way they swing. (Media hasn't reported that tidbit yet.) C'mon media, let's hear the praise.

Democrats should know that Latinos, and perhaps Black men, are not going to vote for a man married to a man. That is a ceiling that will not be broken.

I believe being a homosexual years ago got you denied a security clearance. How far down we have come. Will he host drag queen story hour in the white house?

I would like to see a questioner ask Buttigieg a similar question to "Is it boxers or shorts?" !
