Pete Buttigieg: “more executive experience” than Biden, Trump

Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg is capitalizing once more on his executive experience as Southbend mayor to boost his run for the White House as his campaign seem to have more and more difficulty breaking into the top tier of candidates all vying to be president in 2020.

In an exclusive interview with CBS-affiliate television station, WCAX TV the Indiana mayor boasts his experience working on the ground with his constituents. He talked of how he “makes things happen” – being “responsible for everything from incident management to economic development.”

In an apparent swipe at his rivals, Buttigieg, the first openly-gay candidate for president, downplayed holding a lawmaker position in Capitol Hill as enough qualification to hold the highest office of the land.

Okay, based on that I'm better qualified than Buttigieg. I was in government 20 years and on actual active duty in the military for six years.

I've never heard what he does called 'executive experience' but it's true I'm not up on homo lingo.

[Celtic Conservative]

A canned ham has more executive experience than booty-gag.

Using his qualification ‘meter’....then Obama was the least qualified of the past 200 years.

[rdl6989]

Executive experience? Is that what the lgbtxyz pervs call it now?

[Nothingburger]

“Vote for me, I’m a sodomite.”

[wastedyears]

A mayor, oooooh.

[exnavy]

he will always be butt-gig to me.

[jimfree]

PDJT has been an executive for most of his adult life.

Oh, my 19 y/o granddaughter has more quality executive experience than a 2-term Obama.

[Hang'emAll]

As he has mentioned before he is the “wife” in his relationship.

So would he be called madam president?

[KobraKai]

He is an absentee mayor. Not only has he been away for months and months campaigning for President, a few years ago, in the heat of a South Bend police scandal, he volunteered for some active duty in Afghanistan while the dust settled, and also so he could military shame anyone going after him on the scandal.

You can see he still does the military shaming thing all the time as a candidate. The police scandal is one of the reasons the black community hates him so much, and being queer of course.

Of course, Eisenhower had no political experience--and it did take him eight years to finally figure out what was going on in the Swamp:

This evening I come to you with a message of leave-taking and farewell, and to share a few final thoughts with you, my countrymen....

This conjunction of an immense military establishment and a large arms industry is new in the American experience. The total influence -- economic, political, even spiritual -- is felt in every city, every State house, every office of the Federal government.

We recognize the imperative need for this development. Yet we must not fail to comprehend its grave implications.

Our toil, resources and livelihood are all involved; so is the very structure of our society.

In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military industrial complex.

The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist.

We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes. We should take nothing for granted. Only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry can compel the proper meshing of the huge industrial and military machinery of defense with our peaceful methods and goals, so that security and liberty may prosper together.

Akin to, and largely responsible for the sweeping changes in our industrial-military posture, has been the technological revolution during recent decades.

In this revolution, research has become central; it also becomes more formalized, complex, and costly. A steadily increasing share is conducted for, by, or at the direction of, the Federal government.

Today, the solitary inventor, tinkering in his shop, has been overshadowed by task forces of scientists in laboratories and testing fields.

In the same fashion, the free university, historically the fountainhead of free ideas and scientific discovery, has experienced a revolution in the conduct of research.

Partly because of the huge costs involved, a government contract becomes virtually a substitute for intellectual curiosity. For every old blackboard there are now hundreds of new electronic computers.

The prospect of domination of the nation's scholars by Federal employment, project allocations, and the power of money is ever present and is gravely to be regarded.

Yet, in holding scientific research and discovery in respect, as we should, we must also be alert to the equal and opposite danger that public policy could itself become the captive of a scientific technological elite.

Of a 2nd-rate town with serious issues.

[GoldenPup]

Obviously too much blood rushing to this guy’s head from long periods of grabbing is ankles.

[FrdmLvr]

Trump has been an executive longer than Buttgig has been alive!

[kabar]

Trump ran a multi-billion dollar business for 40 years and been President for three years. How does Mayor Pete have more executive experience than Trump? Moreover, Mayor Pete has done a lousy job running South Bend. This 37 year old fraud has no shot at being President.

[ImJustAnotherOkie]

There is a difference between 20 years of experience and 5 years of experience 4 times over.

[wetgundog]

He is getting almost as good as “Slow Joe” in telling vivid bedtime stories.

[I want the USA back]

Does this man actually think he can be president? No. This “campaign” is just to increase name recognition, so he can get reelected as mayor of some failure of a town. Also, now he can give speeches and rake in the money.

In a few weeks he will drop out of the race, with angry, bitter remarks.

Buttplug is a leftwing communist who chose an evil & immoral lifestyle.
