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,

Oh oh...this immature, really stupid kid is going to be SOOOOOOOOOOOO very sorry he opened this can of worms!
All the candidates suffer from some kind of mental deficient
Hate this fag. Hate what he represents. Just nasty evil person.
Doubt the {resident gives a rat’s patootie.
“The fact that I was packing my bags for Afghanistan ...”
The jokes just write themselves folks.
Mayor Buttboy has to attack VP Pence on his Christian faith and now the President on concept of traditional marriage because all he has is his pro-homosexual agenda to convince folks that he needs to be the USA’s first homo president and do all that perversion wants, because he is less knowledgeable on all other areas that it takes to govern a nation. And I say ‘less knowledgeable’ based upon he has avoided discussion on those topics.
I’m wondering when he is going to self-destruct. 4 months maybe?
The initial, one-dimensional, progressive gay hero gloss will collapse soon.
“Hi! I’m Peter Buttgeek, and I’m running for President. Vote for me! I like anal copulation with other men!”
This Butt doesn’t deserve to be in the same room with Our Donald.
This guy could familiarize himself with the constitution and see the job description of the president
It is not to inform us on marriage.
I have a catholic view of marriage for instance
I don’t care what the presidents view of marriage is.
That’s not his job
I do object to public figures exposing our kids to perversion like this guy is doing. It confuses the pre pubescent developing mind.
Where is the psychological community on this? They are not protecting our children that is for sure.
First he took on Pence and looked absolutely ridiculous doing so. Now, NOW, he's trying to take on Trump? LOL
He's a damned RED DIAPER BABY, QUEER, and truly not very smart; no matter what his CV has written on it.
He's just the latest "flavor of the month" and shan't last long at all.Just look at how quickly the wannabe Mexican, IRISH Texan lasted. LOL
He doesn’t deserve to be in the same hemisphere !
Have you noticed the vast majority of journolistas are fag hags?
Most of America has a more traditional attitude on marriage than this guy.
You can’t fight sleep and no one is going to discuss marriage with you
Nice try at pushing an argument I couldn’t less about right now
Little guy trying to taunt the master troll into elevating his profile.
Sort of amusing really, but he really doesn’t want to raise the issue of “marital” fidelity. From what little I know about the matter, gay males don’t even try to be monogamous.
“”The fact that I was packing my bags for Afghanistan when he was filming season seven of ‘Celebrity Apprentice,’”
What was the name of that show? CELEBRITY Apprentice. Celebrity ... as in someone famous. How did Trump get famous? Trump has been famous for a long time because he is a successful businessman.
All Mayor Pete has done has run his city into the ground.
