Ruben Navarrette Jr.: Pete Buttigieg is for real
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette ^ | 4/22/19 | Ruben Navarrette

Posted on 04/22/2019 5:56:48 AM PDT by madprof98

I confess that it took me awhile to convert to the Church of Pete. But now, I’m listening to the sermons. And I’m becoming a believer.

This is not to say that the 37-year-old mayor of South Bend, Ind. — who recently entered the race for the Democratic presidential nomination — is my choice. It’s too early to pick a horse in this race. All are playing to their strengths. But the weaknesses have yet to be revealed; the likable candidate might not be very smart, and the smart one might prove to be not very likable.

All I know is that I’m in the market for a Democrat who can save the country by defeating Donald Trump.

Peter Buttgig will never get past the Democrat Racists of Color. Sorry, Peter. Bottom line? You’re still white.

The super at my old building was a Maltese named Buttigieg. It’s pronounced BUTT-i-gig. It’s not hard to say. Any other pronunciation is just trying to avoid saying “butt.”

Buttigieg has a low ceiling, sort of like Jesse Jackson did in the ‘80s and ‘90s.

He might be competitive against Harris in CA, which is interesting, but I can’t see him doing much in Georgia or South Carolina, nor among the lunchpail union Dems in the midwest (Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio, Illinois).

I'm not a fan of direct insults. It serves to nullify any moral upper-hand we might have in objecting to the treatment of President Trump by the media, political opponents, and everyone they've ginned up. I've often said my issue with fake social conservatives who lie about having traditional values is their hypocrisy. I'm disgusted that they're getting elected instead of those who actually do support our values.

What's my point? Pete what's his name is not a hypocrite about his orientation. So to me, it's a non-issue. Let's applaud him for not being a hypocrite.

Can we be lucky enough to have Trump run for reelection against Gay Pee Wee? LOL! I sure hope so!

“It feels real. You hear him, and he touches you.”

Yeah, I'll pass on that.

They made a douchebag like Obama into a god-like figure. They want to do it again.

Democrats fall in love, Republicans fall in line. This time it may be NAMBLA love BUTtigieg that’s okay because neither party is running the 2020 election. 2020, as in perfect vision. PRESIDENT Donald Trump IS RUNNING THIS ELECTION. Just like PT Barnum, Trump will laugh at the clowns, tame the lions and ride the Elephants. The American people will give him 4 more years of his circus. IMHO

You need to do a photoshop of Biden sniffing Buttplug. Biden likes to sneak up behind people and sniff their hair, and Buttplug likes it too.

Not sure if Booty-Judge is the first gay candidate. Both McCain and Romney showed a willingness to drop their trousers and bend over and take it from Obama.

The disgust and revulsion at what homosexuals do with each other’s plumbing is felt by the vast majority of normal hetero people regardless of politics.

A loud & proud, in-your-face militant homosexual like Faggie Butty Gig is doomed right out of the box, or out of the closet as it were. He’s already kissing his husband at public appearances.

Note this is in PA.
They are targeting Blue States won by Trump.
The plan is to win PA, WI, IA, IN and ignore the rest of the Country.
