The Buttigieg Money Pit
Politico ^ | September 12, 2019 | Bill Scher

Posted on 09/12/2019 12:52:22 PM PDT by C19fan

With great fanfare last month, Pete Buttigieg has announced “Phase Three” of his presidential campaign. Campaign adviser Lis Smith described the first two phases as teaching people how to pronounce his name and then raising gobs of money. For this new phase, the Buttigieg team plans to “blow them out of the water with our organization.” To that end, 20 new field offices in Iowa are opening this month, plus another 12 in New Hampshire.

Here’s a more accurate description. In Phase One, Buttigieg milked $32 million from 390,000 donors, most of whom knew next to nothing about his record, but were bowled over by a guy under 40 who can speak in complete paragraphs, sometimes in Norwegian. Phase Two was learning that Buttigieg has no strong and unique governing vision. We also learned his South Bend record on race relations as mayor, however well intentioned, is checkered. Phase Three, which so far has been a series of boasts about the campaign’s field operation, does nothing to solve the problems of Phase Two.

“Phase Three”?

I guess Phase Four will be, he goes back to South Bend a loser - but very rich.

Yep. He’s going to drop out after the debate with millions in his coffers.

we could ask, but the media would never ask, would this man be perceived as a major presidential candidate, if he were not a homosexual? If he were not a homosexual who doesn’t behave publicly in a stereotypical homosexual manner?

Would a 37 year old mayor of a small midwestern city be perceived as a presidential candidate if not for some other defining attribute, such as his homosexuality?

Homosexuals are the wealthiest segment of society. They have lots of disposable money, wouldn’t feel sorry for them.

Translation: Not black supremacist enough for the Democratic Party.

“Gay Money.”

They generally have boatloads of money, since they usually don’t have kids. I still can’t figure out how his “Jesus was gay” act is supposed to get him to the White House, or even close - other than possibly trying to draw a Republican into saying something accurate about him (i.e., homophobic).
