Pete Buttigieg dropping out smells a lot like quid pro quo
NOQ Report ^ | March 1, 2020 | JD Rucker

Somebody made a deal. Was it the DNC? Mike Bloomberg? Perhaps even Joe Biden? Pete Buttigieg, the young Mayor of South Bend, Indiana, who won the Iowa Caucus and performed better than expected in the New Hampshire primary and Nevada caucus (and arguably the South Carolina primary where he came in fourth), has inexplicably dropped out of the race two days before Super Tuesday.

Like I said, somebody made a deal.

Timing of the Buttigieg drop out is more than a little unusual.

Maybe he secured some sort of deal … a “quid pro quo,” we might say.

— Josh Hammer (@josh_hammer) March 1, 2020

While his chances of winning the nomination were low at this stage, leaving ahead of Super Tuesday, especially following a strong debate performance and over-performing in all four contests to date, it appears to be nothing short of some sort of exchange that pushed him to the decision. Perhaps the DNC told him they would back his run in 2024 if the Democrats lose or 2028 if they win. Maybe Bloomberg and/or Biden offered him a nice cabinet position; it’s almost certain the VP tap is going to a woman regardless of who gets the nomination. Whatever happened, it’s highly unlikely Buttigieg would have dropped out willingly with no assurances. He had absolutely nothing to lose and everything to gain by waiting until after Super Tuesday.

Unlike Cory Booker, Julian Castro, and others who dropped out relatively early, Buttigieg had plenty of cash on hand. While it’s true he will now be able to apply that money to future campaigns, it still seems like a waste considering his age. As the youngest candidate with arguably the brightest future going, there will be plenty of time to raise campaign funds for his next endeavors...

Didn’t he go home sick or something a few days back?

That was probably when the deal was cut.

Why do folks keep saying sanders and not biden?

I could be wrong. It happens often :)

Actually none of these clowns will be the nominee.

No one will get enough votes...so they will go with hillary (most likely). Maybe Buttplug will get the VP spot.

The quo that results from the quid is to avoid suffering an embarrassing ass kicking in the voting Tuesday.

I think it will likely be a woman as the VP nominee regardless of who gets the nomination. If Sanders, then maybe Harris or Amy K. If Biden, then Warren or Hillary are my guesses.

Yeah Biden was going to lose big on Tuesday.
Carter helped broker the deal to have buttwipe dropout.

This way, Biden taking SC yesterday, and a weak, but still a 2nd place finish to Bernie on Tuesday, Biden will remain in the race until the convention. It’s the only plausible way to eliminate Bernie without too much suspicion.

Even Commie Bernie can be bought off. Proved that in 2016.

I don’t think there was any deal at all. He did not get a good reception in the south. His brand of Christianity was not selling.
