I don’t think there was any deal at all. He did not get a good reception in the south. His brand of Christianity was not selling.

Maybe someone threatened to blackmail him by telling the world he was gay.

The establishment thinks Biden will soak up his support and wants Buttigieg out. Warren will not get out because it would help Sanders.

I suspect all of those Dem candidates on the Clown Car were raising private money from campaign donations and funneling it off shore.

Buttigieg was unlikely to reach 15% in many states Tuesday; his dropping out makes it much likelier that other candidates (Biden, Warren, Bloombeg) reach 15%. If more than two candidates reach 15% in each state, it’s hard to imagine how any one candidate gets 50% of the delegates overall.

He gets to leave the race with a claim of primary race success and early enough to avoid blame when things go haywire after super Tuesday. Leave after good showings in IS and NH, but a drubbing in SC, he can say he had potential and the clarity to know when to cut losses, save a lot of money for a future campaign, and “work to bring the party together in other ways”, or some CYA garbage like that. If he loses big on super Tuesday, he’s just another loser keeping the party fragmented. If he wasted his coffers trying to competez he’s a stupid loser.

Pete met with Jimmy Carter this mo6. Obviously offered a deal. Carter most likely supporting Biden. Cabinet position?

He had breakfast this morning with Jimmy Carter, right. I wonder what was cooked up. Someone on Twitter just got an email from his campaign a half hour ago saying Pete was canceling Texas but would be appearing elsewhere soon. No idea what’s going on.

“wonder what he was given in return”

A nice donation and a tight end to be named later.

The country is not ready for a second homosexual Democrat president.

I think Klobuchar and one of Biden/Bloomberg will be out after Tuesday. Warren will stay in to try and spoil Bernie. I think It’s a given Bernie will go into the convention with a plurality, the DNC just wants it to be close so when they screw him it won’t Bern the party to the ground. I don’t think it’s going to work.
