Only in America: Mayor Pete got 8,515 votes in his last election

Interesting. I certainly think he’s way out of his league.

If Pete gets the dem nod, I’ll vote for him. If he doesn’t, I’ll probably go third party or not vote at all.

In the betting markets, Mayor Pete is 3rd for the Democratic nomination just behind Biden but ahead of Sanders.

So in these betting markets if Mayor Pete is third and is just behind Biden, who is ahead of Biden?

That's smart. Great idea. You really learned from 2016 didn't you? Yes, every other candidate for the Dem's are just as bad as Trump. Give me a break.

Seems like a lot of people think he'll get the VP nomination to balance out which ever 70 something gets the nomination. Indiana is good at making vice-presidents.

Man, I though this was pretty common knowledge. Do people really not realize that South Bend is a small town just because it is home to a school with ~8K students?

It should blow your mind to hear that State College, PA and Ithaca, NY are also small towns.

Mayor Pete is way out of his league. The New York Times is constantly propping him up, claiming he is incredibly articulate, etc., while constantly publishing articles first against Sanders, and then, after his heart attack, against Warren, because they (or Sulzberger, their head) want someone middle of the road who won't rock the boat. I've listened to them all and I don't see Pete as particularly articulate. His verbiage is empty of any substance. Sanders and Warren are articulate.

I don’t vote against Trump or anyone else. I vote for candidates I believe are capable of doing the job.

Mayor Pete is a nobody. Just like Creepy Joe, Crazy Bernie, Little Mikey, Pochahontas, and Crooked Hillary.

None of them have won any club championships. I've won 18, ok? That is a lot, trust me!

Hi, TAA! I tried to bump your Dow 28,000 prediction thread but it looks like it was recently deleted. Did someone else bump it?

oh are you talking about the CIA guy?

When this gets down to four or five candidates on D.N.C. side, my guy will show his strength. Mayor Pete is still in the closet. Mayor Pete is a closet Log Cabin Republican. Senator Warren had a couple of polls not a strong as she liked so she's already backing off her Medicare for All position. Bernie is the true believer. T R U M P would beat in the closet Mayor Pete. Biden, was never a great candidate. He has gotten rattled by the impeachment hearings. Republicans at hearing keep saying, Biden, Biden, Biden. Biden did not look good tonight. Bernie, a true believer can and will beat T R U M P. If a loved one is Possessed, you cannot send in a Middle of the Road deal cutter. To do an EXORCISM, a TRUE BELIEVER is NEEDED.

It was deleted right after I bumped it =(

His lack of experience keeps coming up, yet did Trump got elected with zero political experience.

Pete is very good at answering questions and he doesn’t take a dump on the sidewalks and leave it there and wear the same outfit to Congress daily like me

So you think a third party candidate can "do the job"? How do you get the job done without getting elected?

You are a bigger idiot than I am. (Or maybe a closet Trump supporter.)

Wejo,

Obama had been a United States Senator after being in the Illinois legislature. Even Jimmy Carter had been a governor. Mayor Pete would be the ultimate "out of nowhere" person to become president.

Obama was a pretty successful candidate. It might be smart to listen to his advice and not pick a candidate too far to the left.

Buttigieg's smart, articulate, calm and in control. The downside is that he is young, inexperienced and gay (there are still prehistoric thinkers who hate gays).

He could only be a vp with a female candidate. The dems wouldn't want two males on the ticket. I think he will continue to grow in popularity and would not rule him out as winning the nomination and the presidency.
