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.”

I think it’s against the law on the res to give her fire water.
I remember back in the 90's, when Howard Stern got a reporter who covered the Kennedys to describe what a "vodka sauna tent" was, in relation to the Kennedy's top-of-the-mountain ski expedition setups.
The debate was more like a whine cave.
Not a very catchy phrase, but it’s a start.
Trump does it better with nicknames.
Better than “Lying azz Pretendian”.
Borger is delusional. Mayor Buttplug (being an expert) shoved it back up Warren’s arse by retorting that he was the only one on stage who was not a millionaire or billionaire; that her net worth was 100 times more than his.
Fun times when they lie, cheat, and steal from each other.
In all of his pictures Buttigieg looks like a mannequin. Maybe he is a mannequin. Sen. Warren should look into this.
Mayor Buttplug’s “partner” supposedly has a life-sized jar of JIF Peanut-butter tattooed on his leg. Something to do with not having enough peanut butter available to him as a child in his f***ed up family life.
And there are people who want this mentally ill, sodomist couple to be President and “first husband” or WTF they will call him.
Unbelievable.
Gloria Borger is as dumb as a post. With apologies to posts.
Really?
To be frank, I don’t see how we can really let you continue to be a member of this board.
Now excuse while I sit this vintage Merlot.
No wait, it’s a diet root beer.
Forget it.
As opposed to the “living in caves” candidates who support the Green New Deal.
Pete Buttigieg is no moderate although he’s supposedly in the middle lane. I believe him to be a cultural Marxist.

Also, he has a history as Mayor of South Bend, e.g., ...

And here’s some history on his father... “The Left has lost a great scholar of genuinely international acclaim; I have lost a great friend, collaborator and mentor. May he rest in peace.”

Pete needs to invite Liz into the cave for a glass of amontillado.
