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. *****rollingeyes*****
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.
-
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.

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.

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...!

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.
"Coy."

@Cyber Liberty
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!"

Exactly. With the 'front runners' filling in the pictures, they're chasing off many but a hopeful media (who want to be elites, too) and their circle of true believers. As for the rest, they're like drawings in a coloring book. The MSM will paint the lucky winner the way they choose.
To know them is to not like them, as a rule, with the contest to see who can recruit more for the FSA and other insanities of the totalitarian left being spewed. The most likely candidate will have the shortest morph to the center(ish) to be palatable to flyover country Dems.

But he does make one point well enough. I have never seen a bunch of people so confident they have all the answers, when they actually don't know enough to ask the questions. (There are some exceptions, but they are, well, exceptional, and not, as a rule, democrats).

No, not with the clown posse they have running right now. The one who credibly might snatch the brass ring from the lot of them is Bloomberg, and he isn't well enough disliked yet to not be a contender, except among gun owners.

@skeeter
I'm not so sure of that. I think she is so popular is because compared to the rest of them,she seems to be semi-sane. Yeah,the hard-core party regulars drool over outright communist Sanders,and like the foolishness spouted by Liawatha,but I am not so sure the typical Dim VOTER is all that thrilled by them. The other loons are so loony they make her seem semi-rational.
I have no explanation for ButtPlug not leading the parade. On the face of it,he hits every button on the Dim Hit Parade. He's young,reasonably good-looking,a radical leftist that tries to pretend to be a moderate leftist,AND he is a homo. He should beleading that parade,dressed in glitter and high heels.
Not so sure how well Bernie is going to do when he starts hitting southern states,where his commie spiel only attracts minorities and illegal aliens,though.
I STILL think Bubbette! is going to stagger in at the last instant and steal the nomination,though. The Globalists AND the Communists know they can trust her to not make any of the new restrictions apply to THEM because they have been doing business with her for decades now. She TALKS communism,but only for the masses,not the leaders. They like that.

@Smokin Joe
I disagree. I suspect every single of the Bolshevik Billionaire Club hate him with a passion as well as mistrust him.
The mistrust is natural for these people. If they can't cheat and steal from someone each day,their day is ruined. They
THRIVE off of deceit and cheating. That's how they became Billionaires.
MOST have the good sense to stay hidden in the background,lest the natives get restless one day and start buying ropes.
These people HAVE to be afraid that Bloomberg is going to ignite the natural class warfare and jealousy they so richly
deserve hanging around their necks.
The people I am talking about are the movers and shakers 1 or more steps above mere congresscritters,US Senators,and even Presidents.
They are the people who give the politicians their marching orders,and who make more money from each war or conflict they
can micro-manage. For obvious reasons they want no public attention drawn to them.
All this is why they HAVE to hate Bloomberg,as well as why they are in no position to go public about it.

I agree -- Klubacher seems semi-sane, she's the U.S. Senator of MN and she's made a few strides. Certainly for those who don't want a socialist or a gay guy, she offers a very viable alternative. (Of course we're looking at this from our conservative point of view).
We shall see how she does on Super Tuesday. She may be someone that the DNC will get behind?
Unfortunately, she, nor Bernie or Buttgig can compete with Bloomberg's money. Even Trump's wealth looks like a drop in a bucket compared to Bloomberg. Elections seem to be won by the person with the most money -- sad.

I know some Democrat voters who can't stand Bloomberg mostly because he has saturated the airwaves here with his awful campaign ads. The latest ones are touting his supposed chumminess with Obama -- I guess it's an effort to court the black vote and others who think Obama was our greatest president. Now I haven't heard whether Obama endorses him or not -- I suspect not. But I know the Dem voters I've talked to aren't buying the "Obama and I" BS or anything else Bloomie is selling.
And I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that Bloomberg is a rich New Yorker. These voters obviously are no fans of Trump, they've had enough of the rich New Yorker in the White House and they won't vote for another New Yorker.

Well there's also talk of the DEMS and a brokered convention with Bloomberg buying his way to the nomination. I think this seems like a very likely scenario.
Bloomberg has billions. His sole objective in entering this race has nothing to do with his wanting to be president, but everything to do with stopping Trump. He will rule just like he rules NY and ironically he sees Trump as the narcissistic dictator.

Yes,but don't forget the Dim Party is THE party of Class Warfare,and the ones not born into wealth/leadership
positions are taught from birth to hate and be jealous of anyone who earns 1 dollar a year more than they do.
Bloomberg can easily buy the support of Dim politicians,but not the typical Dim voters,who hate him and everyone else that
is wealthy.

If he buys the DEM nomination and becomes the DEM nominee -- who are the DEMS then going to vote for? Trump? I would think that they would equally hate Trump or perhaps hate him even more because he's a GOP president along with all of his wealth.
DEMS will vote for the DEM candidate not necessarily because they like the candidate but because that is who has a chance at stopping Trump.

Yep. All he has to do is promise the FSA* a resupply, and disarm potential victims. What's not to like?

Klobuchar is clearly Left of Center, but given the rest of the Democrat field (kooks, crazies, kweers and commies), she almost looks like a conservative.
