A month ago, he was the hottest Democrat candidate for President. Now he appears to be a flash in the pan. Conservatives largely overestimated what turns out to be a major blowfish. So let’s cast our net and dissect this fish of a candidate named Pete Buttigieg.
Pete’s meteoritic rise featured months of being on television steadily building likability among CNN’s most devoted watchers. He has been able to raise large sums of money. Yet in these strengths hides his very weakness. Twitter is not real life. CNN’s ratings are poor. Polls cannot be trusted when a race is competitive. Pete Buttigieg is running for President… of social media.
The truth is far more cynical than we realize. Americans are largely uninformed. They couldn’t name four Supreme Court Justices, their own Congressman, or ten US Presidents. They don’t know who an AOC is. Want evidence: Ralph Northam in Virginia is still governor. Why? Because despite how his Klan mask picture was all over the news, the general population of Virginia doesn’t know about it. In elections, it’s not policy that’s determinant of a primary, it’s name recognition. How many Americans actually know who Pete Buttigieg is?
Pete Buttigieg has wisely recognized this weakness. Like Michael Avenatti, he lunges in front of any camera he can find. He can be the President of CNN, but nobody watches CNN. Buttigieg’s strength of distribution is also a weakness because it’s not expanding his actual base. He’s covering up the fact that he has no real or proven ground game. In order to win actual primaries, he needs to do that. In order to do that, he needs a lot of ground game and name recognition. Pundits speculated that Pete Buttigieg marked the end of Beto O’Rourke, but Beto O’Rourke has a proven ground game, granted it’s cost inefficient. And so when Joe Biden announced, the candidate with the most name recognition, he now commands the meaningless polls. So he question now is, can Pete Buttigieg mobilize his base beyond what Joe Biden can? And my answer is I don’t think he has his own base, no more than Ben Carson did in 2015. You don’t go from being a mayor of nowhere to being nominated for President.
But during his flash in the pan, there was much reason to be concerned. But the concerns are more culturally pressing than politically pressing. If Buttigieg were to be nominated, the country would be bullied into voting for someone just because they are gay. There will be another fatwa of Rainbow Jihad waged exclusively on Christians and some Jews. But this phenomenon, while bad, isn’t new. It’s a shame Christians are largely on a losing streak, save for Jack Phillips. The biggest concern is strictly cultural. Buttigieg is an apostate Christian, one with a bigger platform for the heretical Social Justice Gospel than a random professor from the Union Seminary. Bottom line is Pete Buttigieg isn’t a Christian but claims he is, believing it’s completely compatible with his homosexual lifestyle. The Bible makes it clear in the book of 1 Corinthians that it’s not compatible to be a homosexual among other sins and a Christian. But often the Social Justice Gospel rejects the words of Paul or, in this specific context, conjures an argument about consensual monogamous homosexual relationships being biblically passable.
If there is one message the bible repeats throughout the Old and New Testaments, it’s repentance. The Old Testament prophets preached repentance. John the Baptist preached repentance. Jesus not only preached repentance, he calls us to higher standards than the Jewish law. Peter’s first instruction to the new believers on Pentecost was repentance. The Social Justice Gospel, in which there is no doubt Pete Buttigieg will play a substantial part in promoting, rejects repentance. It rejects sanctification. Its doctrine is that you can be Christ like without being sanctified because, after all, Jesus was a wonderful teacher. Its mission is rectifying victims according to their intersectionality ranking through government entitlement programs. Its Jesus is a Palestinian.
Progressive Christianity is no Christianity at all, just a mere Social Justice Gospel. If there is no need for repentance, there is no real need for Jesus. Pete Buttigieg is a messenger for the Social Justice Gospel and that is his most threatening feature, not his ability to win the Presidency.
Today Rush said he looks like Howdy Doodey.

Buttigieg, like Beto before him is a media creation.
After the ‘flsh’ that gets one’s attention there’s nothing “there”
Cast aside his gayness, there’s nothing there that multitudes of other mayor’s of mid sized cities with equally nonplussed records of non achievement.
He didn’t achieve nothing but ‘coming out’
Big Whoop!
Pete “Bottomboy” Buttigieg was never going to be on top.
Which conservatives overestimated Buddajudge? I knew he was hailed only because he is gay, period. That is not enough to win a national election. Might win local elections, but not national ones.
You can not underestimate this man’s homosexuality and his sexual mental illness. If he stick around thinking he will come from behind we will really start blasting this queer.
There’s a striking similarity of looks among all the young male RATS who have arisen to fame:
John Ossoff, Beto, Buttigig — they all look like Kennedy’s.
Overestimating Pete B’s candidacy is largely beside the point. For the movers & shakers in the Democrat Party, his is a “test candidacy” to see if a homosexual is electable on the national stage. How many times did the Democrats run African American candidates before Barack Obama broke through as the “overnight sensation”. My point is, this is a softening up process that includes a whole lot of propaganda in our Educational, News & Entertainment establishments. However well or poorly Pete B. does, they will find another candidate and re-calibrate their approach.
Nobody took him seriously
I know what a blowfish fish is but in this context does this mean that Pete gives major blowjobs?😎
Because conservatives fell for the typical media line that homosexuals comprise about 10% of America, when in fact they are 2%.
Heh, heh, he said “blowfish”.....
I didn’t overestimate Buttigieg. However, I do think it is the duty of every Democrat to support Buttigieg’s candidacy.
Buttigieg recently asserted that his homosexual partner was meant to be a father. This assumes Buttigieg intends to act in the role of the child’s mother. In other words, Buttigieg is the woman of the house.
The Democrat party succeeded in electing the first black president (Bill Clinton).
The Democrat party succeeded in electing the first homosexual president (Barack Obama).
The Democrat must now support Buttigieg as the first woman president. It’s their duty.
HAHA LOL
Wow. He does!
Yeah, well, Newt is a moonbat, so he hardly counts. I’ll give him credit for being lucid and being able to express conservative ideas well at times, but at other times he really goes far far out there... like the time he did the global warming ad with Pelosi, or the time he suggested that it would be a good idea for the government to organize fake terror attacks to get people to take the threat more seriously.
Just the mere fact that a perverted freak of nature like this specimen has the temerity to run for president and is given credence by the media is instructive as to how far the country has fallen. Not so much for the queerness but that combined with a radical left agenda.
Buttigieg is the white Obama.
Like Obama, pretending to be the Christian, mainstream, all-American family values guy.
In reality, his agenda is the opposite.
It’s Howdy Doody time!
