Pete Buttigieg, the mayor of South Bend, Indiana, and a 2020 Democratic presidential candidate, told NBC News' Craig Melvin he's as "surprised as anyone" to be rising in the primary field.

On the question of whether the 37-year-old mayor is too young or too inexperienced to be president, Buttigieg countered that he's actually more experienced than both President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence, saying he has "more governmental experience than Trump and more executive governmental experience than the vice president."

Buttigieg, a former naval intelligence officer, has served as South Bend's mayor since 2012. Pence, who hails from Buttigieg's state, served as governor of Indiana from 2013 until he began his vice presidency in 2017. That stint followed a run as a congressman from 2001 through 2013.

37??

I’m 51.

What I learned about life between those 2 ages was a lot.

Even if he wasn’t a freak he is too young.

Experience in what? Having a spindle put up your butt until it makes you scream?

Seems to be enough to be elected governed here in Colorado. As a bonus, he, his love/pitcher and a poor, cursed and doomed young boy live in our governor's mansion.

Buttplug’s “naval intelligence” outing was a joke. He spent 7 months behind a desk in a base in Afghanistan, working for a joint DEA-DOD operation to try and stop the flow of drug money to the Taliban. It was a complete failure.

....he’s different alright..

[House Atreides]

Yes, Butt-gig has more experience, of a certain type, than either Trump or Pence. I suspect both Trump & Pence have ZERO experience of that type.

“Pete Buttigieg, the mayor of South Bend”

His experience is much greater than Pence’s and Trump’s...

in BENDing, that is.

[Bommer]

To be honest. He’s learned to become a wife. He’s learned he can’t run a city worth a crap. He learned that God has it all wrong on homosexuals, And he knows that his hole is for input and output.

experience being a faggot, sure...

[real saxophonist]

I remember the campaign commercials where Polismoker's kid was saying, 'my dad' this, and 'my dad' that...

I wanted to ask that kid, what do you call your other dad?

Experience at sodomy doesn’t count.

“Oh God, Oh God, I’m so fantastic!”

Experience in what? Having a spindle put up your butt until it makes you scream?

Exactly what I wanted to know, experience at what?

I’m sure Buttguy has performed a lot of “public service”!
