Buttigieg: I Welcome A Fight With Trump Over Who "Has A More Traditional Attitude On Marriage"
Real Clear Politics ^ | May 5th 2019 | Tim Hains

Posted on 05/07/2019 2:46:29 PM PDT by Ennis85

In an interview, Saturday with MSNBC's Donny Deutsch, Democratic presidential candidate and South Bend, Indiana Mayor Pete Buttigieg discussed his philosophy of campaigning and previewed some of the lines of attack he might take against President Trump.

"The fact that I was packing my bags for Afghanistan when he was filming season seven of 'Celebrity Apprentice,' we could have that fight," he said. "And if somebody wants to raise the question of which one of us has a more traditional attitude on marriage, we can have that fight."

"But at the end of the day, it's not about him, it's not about me," Buttigieg said. "Because here's the thing about this president. He has the ability to take any attention that comes his way, including attacks and criticism, and just kind of devour it, so we could unintentionally be feeding the beast by competing to see who's the one going to be landing the biggest punch, the best zinger, and the reality, if you step back and think about the mentality, that's an environment where it's almost like he's the one we're trying to impress."

DONNY DEUTSCH: You have had a stunning, stunning beginning to your campaign. The press is just nonstop. Latest TIME Magazine cover, a fantastic cover. You and your husband. Now, as a strategist, I might pull you aside after that and say, "Mayor Pete, that a very defining attribute, you and your husband on the cover." You being gay, as a defining versus just one of your core attributes. I would say, as a strategist, maybe we don't want that to be the defining attribute, but one of your core attributes. Would you push back on me on that?

MAYOR PETE BUTTIGIEG: That is something you think about when you're presenting yourself to a broader public,

I don’t think Trump has had an issue with gay rights. Buttplug is just trying to get him to say something about this. He is last weeks news.

Not many candidates for President have made their orifices available for sexual penetration.

Buttigieg wants to make marriage a federal issue? Hasn’t anyone ever told this guy that once you won an argument don’t reopen it.

Buttegeig has a grudge against straight people and he wants to be President so he can punish them.

If you look at all the Democrat candidates they all have grudges. The Democrat party is the party of grudges. Some call them grievances because it sounds so much nicer but when you get right down to it it is all about grudges. The nonwhites want to get even with whites, the women want to get even with men and the poor want to get even with the rich and they wrap it all up with a lot of hypocritical language but their motivations are the basest and most vile. And they are spreading their poison.

I looked up the meaning of “grudge”. It is “Ill will cherished for some remembered wrong.”

Butt-gag clearly assumes his "homosexual privilege" will shield him from the arse-whippin' he's sure to receive from our President who is not concerned with being "politically correct" (i.e., not concerned with whether what he says offends the Left).

This will be great fun if ol' Butt-gag pursues this line of attack against an accomplished street-fighter.

I thought he was supposed to be smart/intelligent, well educated, well spoken, quick thinking, and politically, tactically brilliant.

The degenerate wants to have anything but security and the economy as the topic for discussion. He is a son of satan and has the guile to prove it! Watch the satan-spawn media raise this as something most important to ponder during 2020.

I think most Americans are most concerned about
a secure economy
secure borders
safe neighborhoods
getting the government off their backs

This guy is trying to change the subject with some straw man distraction, because he has nothing important to offer. The best response to him is yawn.

Trump could marry 75 women and cheat on them all and he’d still be more traditional in his marriage habits than Buttigieg.
