Burning with the velocity of a prairie fire on a gusty Indiana day, Pete Buttigieg scorched the airwaves, seared the podcasts, and charred the press this week as he ignited his presidential campaign, temporarily torching his Democratic competition in the process.
The secret to Buttigiegs publicity run was no secret, wrote Matthew Yglesias in Vox. Like Molly Bloom in his favorite novel, Ulysses, he cant stop saying yesto media invitations. In recent weeks, hes appeared on a CNN town hall, Ellen, A-list podcasts and Morning Joe, and been featured in New York, POLITICO Magazine, the Atlantic and much more. But saying yes is never enough to hold the press spellbound. Buttigieg has satisfied the ravenous press corps appetite by offering them an entire menu of newish thingsno, make that an entire food court of newish thingsto write about. Hes the youngest candidate in the field (at 37, hes the only millennial except for Tulsi Gabbard), hes gay and married, hes an Afghan war veteran, hes a Rhodes scholar (as is Cory Booker, but never mind), he plays a decent piano, hes a churchgoer, hes the mayor of the fourth-largest city in Indiana, he once gave a TEDx talk, he worked as a McKinsey consultant, hes a polymath, hes as earnest as a preacher, hes an old persons idea of what a young person should be like, and hes figured out how to package progressive ideas as moderate.

I wish Rush would knock off calling him “Mayor Pete.” To be frank, it is a typical gay male diminutive - they often call each other Bobby and Petey and Johnny; they are always regressing to adolescence as Freud pointed out.
I honestly cant worry about a mayor that looks like he is 12 years old on the campaign trail with HIS husband!!! Middle America is just in NO WAY gonna vote for this think what you will but worry about this NO WAY!!!
more like grindr than tinder
Say it isn't so, Pete!
I disagree there are homosexuals that consider themselves Christian, my sister in law is one of them. Devout Catholic in her beliefs. Lot of gays think of themselves as Christians, be it attending Catholic, Lutheran, United Church, Protestant, etc.
Who love them back?
... wow, lots of potential faggotry in that....
They like him because he’s a flamer on fire. He’ll burn out soon enough. Six months from now, the public won’t even remember this guys name.
Petey Rose???
In Democrat World an actual homosexual trumps a faux Mexican every time.
Homosexuals pervert everything they touch if they can.
The word “gay”, rainbows, marriage. Even nicknames.
There are “small c” christians, and I’m not talking about them. I’m referring to born-again Christians who follow the Bible strictly, with no made-up fol-de-rol and/or modernism. Gays cannot be Christians, as Christians don’t defy clear Biblical teaching. Homosexual christians can BECOME Christians, but the day that happens, they’ll no longer act on their sinful urges.
Beeeettoooooo needs to come out transgender . . . and quickly!!
Yes, as with abortion supporters, they think of themselves as spiritually Christian.
Mainstream churches have convincingly taught the ‘law of love’ supersedes even rationality. Proving that one ‘loves the sinner’ involves a horror of actually hating the sin.
Will Soyboys Leftwingers start saying they’d take one for the team like women did with Clinton in the 90s?
That’s because they know Pete will reach around and give them a hand.
Uh uh ah... you overlooked “white”.
Ben Dover and Phil McCracken.
Beto is an empty suited phony. That is why.
Does FR have to make Butt jokes every time Mayor Pete is mentioned? Doesnt it get old?
