Somebody made a deal. Was it the DNC? Mike Bloomberg? Perhaps even Joe Biden? Pete Buttigieg, the young Mayor of South Bend, Indiana, who won the Iowa Caucus and performed better than expected in the New Hampshire primary and Nevada caucus (and arguably the South Carolina primary where he came in fourth), has inexplicably dropped out of the race two days before Super Tuesday.
Like I said, somebody made a deal.
Timing of the Buttigieg drop out is more than a little unusual.
Maybe he secured some sort of deal a quid pro quo, we might say.

While his chances of winning the nomination were low at this stage, leaving ahead of Super Tuesday, especially following a strong debate performance and over-performing in all four contests to date, it appears to be nothing short of some sort of exchange that pushed him to the decision. Perhaps the DNC told him they would back his run in 2024 if the Democrats lose or 2028 if they win. Maybe Bloomberg and/or Biden offered him a nice cabinet position; its almost certain the VP tap is going to a woman regardless of who gets the nomination. Whatever happened, its highly unlikely Buttigieg would have dropped out willingly with no assurances. He had absolutely nothing to lose and everything to gain by waiting until after Super Tuesday.
Unlike Cory Booker, Julian Castro, and others who dropped out relatively early, Buttigieg had plenty of cash on hand. While its true he will now be able to apply that money to future campaigns, it still seems like a waste considering his age. As the youngest candidate with arguably the brightest future going, there will be plenty of time to raise campaign funds for his next endeavors...

I believe somebody from the DNC offered Buttigieg a clear path to the Democrat nomination for Todd Young’s Indiana senate seat in 2022 for him to drop out before Super Tuesday. He should have dropped out 1 day after Super Tuesday.
If he quits he doesn’t get to keep his delegates. If he stays in, in name alone, he gets to keep his delegates until the first vote at the convention. Being that delegates are proportional rather than winner take all, he could have got more delegates. Small amounts that could have affected the outcome of the convention. There can’t be a brokered convention with two candidates. Just food for thought. He could have waited until after Super Tuesday, and announced this Wednesday, but someone promised him something.
Well, if you have a link for it, like on Amazon, I think I might have a decorative spot for it.
Sleepy Joe: Pete, you don’t stand a chance. Drop out and I will make you my running mate.
Maywhore Pete (thinking): Joe is 78 and is showing his brain is shot. He won’t last but about two years.
Maywhore Pete: Okay, I will drop out and endorse you.
“...Pete Buttigieg dropping out...”
Take a hike you left wing freak.

Interesting.

Fox headlined it “Pete Buttigieg Backs Out.”
