Pete Buttigieg is uniquely disliked by Democrats across the spectrum even as he surges in early states
 (Eliza Relman)
,Business Insider•February 10, 2020

    With his strong showing in Iowa and surge in New Hampshire, former Mayor Pete Buttigieg's list of critics is expanding across the ideological spectrum.

    After Buttigieg beat former Vice President Joe Biden, in Iowa and is set to do the same in New Hampshire, moderates began to turn their ire on the former mayor.

    Rather than attacking his policies and rhetoric — as progressives long have — moderates like Biden are challenging Buttigieg's qualifications and experience, and asserting he's not prepared to be president.

   

Former Mayor Pete Buttigieg has long drawn the ire of progressives, particularly the young and online subset. But with his strong showing in Iowa and surge in New Hampshire, he's now attracting sustained attacks from across the ideological spectrum.

 I don't get it. I was thinking a young,smart,homosexual,hard-left male would put a twinkle in that crowds eye.

Seems like other than the female cross-dressing bi-sexual with two sexual reassigment surgeries who has one blue eye,one
brown eye and is a part Eskimo paraplegic,ButtPlug has it all.

Yeah, Right. I bet the prospective "First Laddie" is a snazzy dresser, too. 

When push comes to shove, Government is already too good at sticking their bits where they don't belong, someone who makes it a regular practice just isn't that appealing.

Mark my words, they are setting it up for Klobuchar.  The MSM has been handed the talking points.  Headlines on Wed will be about Klobuchar as the Comeback Kid.

I think there definitely are some in that party who believe she'd be the strongest candidate against Trump, and they may be right.

@Maj. Bill Martin

Well,she and Buttplug seem to be the closest candidates they have that is within shouting distance of sanity,and the fact that Buttplug is a homo with a husband is going to be a step too far for a number of Dim voters. Too much too soon. Give it another 20 years,and it might not matter.

This leaves Klobuchar. She is a known factor within DNC circles. Pretty much mainstream for a Dim,and hasn't been seen eating live babies on network tv. I have no trouble seeing the DNC movers and shakers falling in behind her.

I would only suggest that if she is serious about running as America's First Bitch that she hire food tasters and buy a LOT of insurance. Bubbette! is not going to be amused.

The reality is that any candidate who is not inherently unpalatable for the mainstream can be marketed, packaged, and sold to enough people to be a contender. Look at the gushing over a former first lady as a fashion maven, when her floral prints looked like they were ripped from '60s breezeway furniture.

The only question is one of how many unprincipled Leftist suckers there are out there.

He was a failure as a mayor of a moderately large town. I have to admit, it is unusual for 2019/2020 Dem to be talking so rationally.

Speaking more generally, Buttigieg's policies, actions, and track record are so stuffed with problems that the (non-)reproductive plumbing of his bed-warmer doesn't make my radar screen (not that I would trust his moral judgnent).

The only reason Klobuchar is an up and comer is she's a blank sheet. Once it gets filled in they'll move on to the next. They'll get around to Steyer, too, sooner or later.

This primary is playing out like a game of musical chairs - whomever is the least well known when the music stops will be it.

[Free Vulcan]

Now that's some prime cheerleader hissy catfight straight from the Bernie camp right there.

Buttbigger is barely less qualified than Obama when he ran, and Bernie is also white and privileged, both here and in the former Soviet Union.

Buttgigger is also not a centrist, he's just less communist than Bernie.

Much a do about nothing.

[skeeter]

B Studebaker scores for nailing Buttgigg's personality type, but then loses most of his points for his childish oversimplified & provocative analysis for which he has absolutely no proof.

When the music stops they will all be screaming for Bubbette! to come to their rescue
by dipping her dainty hoof into the water.

She wants the voters to beg her.

Doesn't she have to toss her bag of Clindung in the ring by a certain time?

Rules don't apply to Queens,and I am not writing about Buttplug.

Do you REALLY think the DNC will turn her down if she comes staggering in
at the last minute to "save the day"?

He's a red-diaper baby, who's probably as committed to "the party" as is Sanders, but who is savvy enough to "keep it in the closet" for now.

I'm amazed this guy is even considered as a credible candidate for president. He's a young homosexual with no record of accomplishment at anything, other than having been mayor of one of the crummier towns in Indiana and also being able to play the piano.

Hey, why bother with president... he coulda been another Liberace...!

Wasn't that about the greatest album cover of all time...?

Yeah, they'll prolly just change the rules & screw ol' Bern over once again.

I don't think Hillary is going to jump in -- again -- (sorry to repeat) she's missed some deadlines to file paperwork and she must get onto the ballot and qualify in all 50 states.  It's too late.

Bubbette is going to skip all the Primaries, and be available if there's a second ballot at the Convention in Milwaukee.  That's the plan, so I would not expect her to fill out any paperwork along the way.

 Let's face it,there is no way that drunken old hag can survive a campaign. She looked like she was going to die the last time. IMNSHO,the plan all along is to run losers against each other in in the regular  campaign period,and then have her stagger in at the last minute to "save the day!"
