Gloria Borger thought that Elizabeth Warren successfully left a mark on Pete Buttigieg during their tete-a-tete at the PBS Politico Democratic Debate.
Borger and Van Jones were both on CNN’s Thursday night panel to help break down the biggest highlights of the evening. Borger noted that Warren called out Buttigieg for schmoozing with wealthy campaign donors at a recent “wine cave” fundraiser in Napa Valley, and the CNN political analyst predicted the label will stick to Buttigieg.
“I think [Warren’s] campaign knew they had to do something to shake things up a little bit because she’s going in the wrong direction in the polls,” Borger said. “So she started with Pete Buttigieg first. And now he’ll be known as the wine cave candidate, I guess, for the rest of his life.”
As the panel discussed how Buttigieg fended off attacks from Warren and Amy Klobuchar, Jones agreed that Warren successfully burned Buttigieg, even though he paid her back for it.
“Pete got put in the fire. He got punched on hard by Elizabeth Warren. And Elizabeth Warren tagged him with this wine cave thing. I think that hurts Pete. But Pete did something that nobody’s done to Elizabeth Warren effectively tonight. He said, you’re a millionaire too, I’m the only guy up here who is not a millionaire…When Elizabeth Warren comes after you, she’s tough, and she had him. She had him dead to rights with the whole wine cave thing, and he was able to punch his way out of that. So I think if you had a concern that Pete is too weak or too soft or whatever, he proved himself tonight.
But I think Elizabeth Warren got him in terms of – if you look at what’s trending, Wine Cave Pete is trending.”

“Elizabeth Warren successfully left a mark on Pete Buttigieg...”
No pictures, PLEASE!
I think he'll be known more as the butt plug candidate.
So many easy candidates in the Democrat field!
Wow. Gloria Borger is still alive.
I figured Buttwipe would be more into wine coolers.
**Our cup is not half-full or half-empty, it’s overflowing Petey. Wachusaytodat, son?
I’d hate to see Warren with a carafe or two of vino in her.
Borger’s a confirmed dummy.
borger is actively rooting for pohcahontas!~
I love it! RATs are now calling each other names. Who is going to be the first to say,”Sticks and stones...?
I used to think she was real cute, back in the 1980s. She had a little Deborah Winger thing goin' on sometimes, with some of her facial mannerisms.
Now he’ll be known as the Napa/Sonama wine cave candidate, I guess, for the rest of his life.”
I had never heard of a wine cave until last night. I have lived a sheltered life.
But is being the “Wine Cave” candidate is better than being the “Man Hole” candidate?
IDon’t blame him at all
Napa has very good wineries. Delicious
Look
All these stupid leftist moron Democrats are idiots and none of them has a stinking prayer so it’s all good
What happens in the wine cave, stays in the wine cave.
