Pete Buttigieg, the little-known Indiana mayor who has risen to prominence in the early stages of the 2020 Democratic presidential race, made his official campaign entrance Sunday by claiming the mantle of a youthful generation ready to reshape the country. “I recognize the audacity of doing this as a Midwestern millennial mayor,” he said to cheers of “Pete, Pete, Pete” from an audience assembled in a former Studebaker auto plant. “More than a little bold, at age 37, to seek the highest office in the land.” In the hours after his announcement, more than $1 million in donations poured in, said Lis Smith, speaking for the campaign.

I live in Indiana and had never heard of this guy until the media started promoting him.

The more the public sees of this guy, the more they will say NO. He isn’t good-looking, has no charm, and he’s belligerent. And his “open relationship” will not be received by most.

Seeing him as a couple, is more than I want to see.

Isn’t his big claim to fame is disarming men of color who live in blue state cities?

Don’t gloss over the fact that his first name is “peter” as well.

And he's from South "Bend."

The dem party has gone off the deep end. It’s proposing muzzies, black-supremacist-racist-White-haters, communists, and sexual deviants.

I like the name Buttpegger looks the most like his real last
name, and describes his favorite preference.

So Peter Buttpegger the Homo Peter Rabbit. Give that Rabbit
a big carrot.

When people like this are serious Presidential candidates, it becomes apparent that this country is in deep trouble.

Mayor Pete Buttplug and Drudge both like to put fish sticks into their mouths.

Peters and butts. Two of his favorite things.

His name may as well be Dick Buggerman.

Even Fox seems to be hyping this guy, saying how he could do so much better than Hillary or the average democrat in the Midwest states that democrats need to win.

That's the deal...The only thing they care about...They'd endorse Loui Farrakhan or Pee Wee Herman if they thought he could beat Trump...

Can’t wait for Trump’s nickname for him.
