Bolstered by news that he was the choice of 26% of Iowa Democrats in this week's presidential nomination caucus, former South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg struck a "no tolerance for congressional defiance" stance and vowed to "land Air Force One in the backyard of anyone of them who opposes my policies" during an interview with CNN's Chris Cuomo.
Oddly, the Mayor characterized his approach as "the very essence of what democracy is all about. The President is the elected leader of all of America. Senators and Representatives are elected by much smaller constituencies. We cannot allow these smaller constituencies to block the will of the majority who elected me."
"Couldn't President Trump have made a similar claim?" Cuomo asked. "He was elected to represent the entire nation, yet Congress, or at least the Democrats in Congress, have worked diligently against his policies and even impeached him. Why would you expect Congress not to oppose you?"
"Well, Trump was not really the people's choice," Buttigieg replied. "Early on, key members of the FBI realized that and took steps to try to prevent him from being president. Sadly, this effort, so far, has failed. The same wouldn't be true in my case. I come to restore democracy to our country, not to undermine it like Trump has."

Boot edge is a backyard, backdoor kinda guy, if you catch my drift. He is going to backyard everyone if elected.
Do not vote for this POS!
Unless you want to see a 1st lady in occasional drag.
If I may translate for Mayor BootyPlug, “We don’t need no steenking constitution!”
