MARK SHIELDS: But you're talking about Donald Trump's counteroffensive. And I think the worst mistake that the Democrats could make is to look for a Democratic Donald Trump. I mean, somebody who can go toe to toe with him and insult to insult with him. American voters, after a president lets them down and disappoints, go looking for the exact opposite of what was missing. They went after George Bush and sort of the off-the-cuff anti-intellectualism. They sought the cerebral, almost removed presence of a Barack Obama.
After Watergate and Vietnam and Lyndon Johnson and Richard Nixon and all that experience, they wanted the outsider, Jimmy Carter. And I don't think they want more of somebody who can go elbow to elbow and insult to insult. I think, quite frankly, that's the appeal of Pete Buttigieg, is that he lowers the temperature, he lowers the thermostat, he lowers the rhetoric. He is — he's the Mister Rogers of this campaign.
JUDY WOODRUFF: Whoa.
SHIELDS: And I say that in the most — in the most appealing and most flattering of ways. I mean, he's reasoned, he's reasonable, and he listens.

Mr. Rogers wasn’t gay.
By that criteria Jeb should be President right now.
The Left is giddy with excitement about an array of candidates whose hopeless cause even St. Jude himself couldn’t rescue.
Right; people wouldn’t be creeped out if their children met Mr. Rogers in person.
We want a smarty pants like Obama again? Geez, if we wanted that, we would have elected the smartest woman in the world President.
The media and Beltway elites are out of touch with our country.
I think he means, “Mr Rogering”.
So mark Shields is still slurping from the public trough
They’re still peddling that “0bama was/is way smarter” bologna?
Can you be any more cliché?
No matter what is opined on PC-TV, tens of millions of heritage Americans will NEVER vote for a homosexual who will be bringing his male “husband” into the White House to represent America as POTUS and “First Lady-Man.”
Millions of folks who voted Democrat all their lives will vote for Trump or stay home if “Gay Mayor Pete” is the DemSocRat nominee.
If he wins the nomination, it will become a hate crime to point out that he is gay. He will be “just like us” without any discussion allowed about why some might think him different.
Maxie Shields stll lives?
DEFUND PBS/NPR.
Has anyone ever seen Shields sober on TV? This guy has appeared drunk on camera more times than Chris “Johnny Walker” Matthews. They were all drinking buddies of Teddy Kennedy and Chris Dodd. It is a miracle their livers survived.
I’ll try.
I was talking about Shields comparing him to Mr Rogers. How cliché can you get?
Oh, him not me. Need more cofeve.
Shields & Woodruff?
More than 150 years of “experience” with jusr that pair. Die off already.
Each House “Chairperson” is the 4th rate, next in line stooge that stuck around waiting their turn.
Contaminated new blood like Occasional Cortex and the other Jihadi Tramps run the Dem Party now.
All the rest couldn’t possibly be more irrelevant.
