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.

Navarette actually has this written on his biography:
Ruben Navarrette is the most widely read Latino columnist in the country, and the 16th most popular columnist in America according to Media Matters.
Screedwriter for the Washington Compost, Daily Therion and also sits on the USA Today Board of Contributors. Brags about being a Faux News commentator and a fellow of the George W. Bush Institute.

As for the photo, does it hold any clues as to how he feels about Buttigieg?

Uhhhh…..let him. The more chaotic the dems are, the more outrageous they become, the better. I’m pro-Constitution and support their freedom of speech and expression. (they’ve got a few good minor candidates and they aren’t getting any publicity)

Peter Butt-a-bang also wants to stack the Supreme Court, cancel the Trump tax cuts, and eliminate the Electoral College.

No thank-you.

Tell him to vote for the Green Party Reds, or Communist Party USA, or Socialist Workers Party, or Workers World Party, etc.

Or is CPUSA just going to endorse the Democom candidate again?

Within the Rat Party Buttplugg may very well be for real.But I can't think of a single state that DJT took in ‘16 that Buttplugg could take next year.OTOH,I can think of at least a couple of states that DJT lost in ‘16 that he'd take next year vs this depraved Maoist perv.

Watching Democrats make the argument for how well-qualified he is ought to be amusing.

That's right.Why,just last year South Bend's Mainetence & Laundry Workers Union (Local 447 of AFSCME) threatened a strike over the use of Tide Pods over Blue Cheer...and Buttplugg stepped in and signed an "Executive Order" granting them an 85% pay raise.

Problem solved!

Peter is so yesterday. It is trans time. A black transexual, who's gender is fluid is required! Can not we all choose love and get behind it/zee/them/shim?

Mayor, Pete Buttigieg is nothing but a “Roman Candle” that will quickly burn out. Our enemies, the Russians, the Chinese, the North Koreans, the Iranians, the Turks, The Cubans, The Venezulans must on the floor laughing as to how dumb the American people can be.

These enemies will be gloating & fighting for the right to throw this “Pajama Boy & his “Pajama Boy” husband off the nearest high roof building while they laugh and await the fatal sudden stop. America has gone insane insane!!!

Actually he’s peddling anti-religion.

His attempts to claim religion or god for his personal behaviors is a denial of the very idea of free will.... which is a fundamental tenant of Christianity... this guys a nutter and yes, I mean that in every way you can take it.

Putz-Gazette is a left wing hack rag, they are going to do everything they can do to push this nonsense.... The Dems are DESPERATE to win back the white working class voter here in the upper midwest.... They think just because this guy is white, and served in the military that’s all that it will take...

Nevermind the fact he’s a flaming leftist.... He couldn’t win Indiana statewide, he sure isn’t going to win the upper midwest back for the Dems... But I do find it beyond amusing that the Dems, who have spent the last 20 years telling whites they are the problem with everything, are scrambling looking desperately for their great white hope.

Buttygig is The White Obama.

Gay has gone mainstream, so he’s admitting to that.
He’s articulate, & capable of fooling people with his eloquent speechifying, & phony moralisms.
Right now he’s pretending to be a Christian, a patriot, & a moderate, mainstream Democrat, just like Obama did.

If he gets elected, he would drop his mask and unleash hell, just like Obama did.

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.

We all know instinctively, its wrong. Animals know this, children know this, God declares it an abomination. Everytime I see him, my mind just goes to what was in his mouth recently, I cannot help it, I cannot see him or others like him any other way, bad head graphics.

Like Bernie, Lil' Pete will not bring out the Black vote. Only the White Liberal Elite will vote for him.

That being said,, it doesn't hurt to cut him off at the knees, politically. Never know where he'll end up in the future, so it is best to destroy his political career while it's still in its infancy.
