SOUTH BEND, Ind. — Pete Buttigieg, the 37-year-old mayor of South Bend, Indiana, officially announced his presidential bid Sunday afternoon, hoping to make history as the youngest-ever, and the first-ever openly gay, commander in chief.
Speaking to a standing-room-only crowd inside a downtown tech hub that had once been the home of a long-ago-shuttered Studebaker car factory, Buttigieg promised to bring to the country the kind of change and innovation he’d helped to instill in his native South Bend.
"My name is Pete Buttigieg. They call me Mayor Pete. I am a proud son of South Bend, Indiana. And I am running for President of the United States," he said, prompting a wave of adoring screams from the crowd. "I recognize the audacity of doing this as a Midwestern millennial mayor. More than a little bold — at age 37— to seek the highest office in the land."

“It has the makings of a SNL skit back in the day.”
I still say he will be the ‘butt’ of many ‘gags’
“They” are pushing him like they pushed Obama. Progs have even tried to take down Biden and Bernie to clear a path.
Gay media mafia .
And I assume Drudge is leading the charge !
Urban Dictionary says buttigieg means A ruined orgasm
Beware!
Like Obama, he’s been groomed.
You make some good points. But don’t despair. It’s the American way to mock your political opponents. And sometimes that mockery can go a bit over the line. It’s just the American way to mock, and to push the envelop.
So take FR in its totality. Lots of quality stuff. Plus a little childish crudeness here and there.
Buttplugug...
Funny that the gay guy from the midwest is the only sane democrat running.
Strange.
Only the majority within his degenerate subculture think he’s worthy, and that’s only by virtue of his being a trouser pilot. His performance record certainly doesn’t give him cause for being anything beneficial to my country.
Seriously, I hate the lgbtq AGENDA. I’m with you. Of course, we lost that issue. PC rules. Sigh.
But I can’t get into hating and mocking an openly gay person. I love humor but it just isn’t funny. It’s funny to mock Hill and Barry because they are hypocrite cowards about it. This guy, really, I’d rather just argue his politics.
Probably the first presidential bid of someone HIV positive as well.
from intro page, you are right IMO

The Gay Mafia is very well funded and many of them now work for the MSM and at upper levels of Google, FB and Apple
Yeah, I can’t leave. I love it here, mostly. But I’ll just try to avoid Buttigieg threads!
Thx. I really feel that fighting the gay AGENDA is fair; insulting homosexual persons is beneath us.
I honestly believe homosexuality is a mental illness.
All of us are ‘broken monkeys’, but I do not insist on a parade to celebrate my defects.
And I do not try to shame those who notice my defects.
That’s par for the course with these deviants. Look up the “Hunky Jesus Contest” held every year in San Fran on Easter, if you have the stomach for it.
The problem they have is they actually believe that everybody thinks like them because in their Circle of Friends everybody does think like them and they never have any friends outside of their Circle of Friends. They have a tremendous blind spot which is pure unadulterated arrogance and that is to our advantage. That is why whenever poles are done and whenever the mainstream media has people on they can never figure out why President Trump won.
My poor family that lives there.
If this guy was a devout Christian, everybody in the Dem party and media would be making fun of him like they are doing to Pence now.
Palin was Governor at the time though.
This guy has been nothing but a lowly mayor.
