Pete Buttigieg is nothing more than a media creation

To get a true sense of just how much of a media creation Pete Buttigieg's campaign for president is, look no further than Michael Gerson's latest cringe-inducing column for the Washington Post.

A word of caution: You may need a wet wipe after reading it.

"The remarkable rise of Pete Buttigieg is a tribute to the role of raw talent in presidential politics," wrote Gerson, who no doubt knows a raw talent when he sees one. "There is little that distinguishes the former mayor of South Bend from 10,000 similar local officials — except for being a prodigy at politicking."

Buttigieg, mind you, is polling nationally at 10%, according to the RealClearPolitics average, which puts him even behind former New York Mayor Mike Bloomberg, who hasn't been in a single primary debate and competed in neither the Iowa caucuses nor the New Hampshire primary.

Glib, gay, with a wusband.

Can you trust this guy, if generals warn against transgenders in the military?

Can yyou trust him, if common sense argues the costs of chopping genitalie and hormones, is not wise policy?

Can you expect him to berespected by nations that disdain the entire homo thing?

Obama was boosted by the MSM to the degree that he could be called a media creation.

The MSM basically resurrected McCain's campaign early in 2008, setting him up to knock him down (which they started to do as soon as he clinched the R nomination).

In 2000, the MSM boosted GWB very heavily, thinking he was a buffoon they could set up and knock down. He, ummm, disappointed the MSM to the degree that they resorted to the memograte forgery/fraud.

In 2011 the MSM torpedoed Herman Cain with the same kind of false accusation they tried against Clarence Thomas (and, later, Kavanaugh). Sadly, he decided he didn't need the @#$% and dropped out.

In 2015 the MSM started their effort to torpedo Trump by lying about things he said in his speeches.

The MSM has been in the business of trying to anoint Presidents, set of Rs to be knocked down later, and torpedo candidates they hated for a really long time. They tried to torpedo Reagan in 1980, anointed Carter in 1976, labelled GHWB as an out-of-touch ivory-tower rich guy, portrayed Ford as a bumbling klutz, yada, yada, yada.

@mystery-ak

Good thing for Bloomberg he hasn't been in any debates or caucuses or he would be even further behind.

Good thing he is queer. Can you imagine what the children would look like if he were to marry Chelsea Clinton?
