In an interview, Saturday with MSNBC's Donny Deutsch, Democratic presidential candidate and South Bend, Indiana Mayor Pete Buttigieg discussed his philosophy of campaigning and previewed some of the lines of attack he might take against President Trump.
"The fact that I was packing my bags for Afghanistan when he was filming season seven of 'Celebrity Apprentice,' we could have that fight," he said. "And if somebody wants to raise the question of which one of us has a more traditional attitude on marriage, we can have that fight."
"But at the end of the day, it's not about him, it's not about me," Buttigieg said. "Because here's the thing about this president. He has the ability to take any attention that comes his way, including attacks and criticism, and just kind of devour it, so we could unintentionally be feeding the beast by competing to see who's the one going to be landing the biggest punch, the best zinger, and the reality, if you step back and think about the mentality, that's an environment where it's almost like he's the one we're trying to impress."
DONNY DEUTSCH: You have had a stunning, stunning beginning to your campaign. The press is just nonstop. Latest TIME Magazine cover, a fantastic cover. You and your husband. Now, as a strategist, I might pull you aside after that and say, "Mayor Pete, that a very defining attribute, you and your husband on the cover." You being gay, as a defining versus just one of your core attributes. I would say, as a strategist, maybe we don't want that to be the defining attribute, but one of your core attributes. Would you push back on me on that?
MAYOR PETE BUTTIGIEG: That is something you think about when you're presenting yourself to a broader public,

The ‘Psychological Community’ degenerated many decades ago. That fen defends the ‘alternate lifestyle to its ‘fullest’. Sewer rats the lot of them.
We got ‘em here too... the same ones constantly posting links about queers and trannies.
It would be interesting to see what he actually did in Afghanistan.
This is the real face of the radical homosexual Democrat party.
A fudgepacker dying to tell us all how traditional he is and we’re the weirdos.
Why the hell should this punk’s stupid marriage be a presidential debate.
I kinda miss ol whats-his-face riding a skateboard like a moron and crashing into people and cars. Then the room filled with the stench of this Mayor asscrack person.
Trump was well known in New York for being a shamelessly successful real estate mogul
He is a patriot and he wants to clean out Washington like any of us would if we had the brains and the dollars to do it
I’ve never seen celebrity apprentice but I know trump from being a New Yorker. I predict his attitudes and actions as president so well that I cannot believe others don’t get him. Rush was not on board til recently. Hannity was. So was judge Jeanine and Eric bolling. Maybe it’s a New York thing.
Yep it certainly does.
Even the men
Yepp, it is all about him. Is this all Butt****pirate has to offer?
Yup
You engage in homosexuality, nothing you do has anything to do with traditional marriage. You can lie to yourself that you and your sodomite cohort are traditional, but what you do is not an expression of Gods love, but of simple and selfish lust. You can con yourself into believing what you do is “traditional”... but it’s just more self delusion from someone who doesn’t have the foggiest clue about that theology hi claims he follows.
This is important?
He's delusional. The Supreme Court may have legalized gay marriage, but every time it was voted on in every state in which it was put to a vote, IT LOST!
Most people, me included, don't even consider Buttigieg's situation a marriage.
What is marriage and what is traditional. Grandma is raising many kids on the USdollar while mom and dad are in jail.
I think B*tt Plug will soon blow himself up with his fake piety, arrogance, and militant gay bullying. He plays well to the sodomite-loving fake news, but that’s about it.
Go back to the bath houses, B*ttplug, and take your grotesque version of “Christianity” with you!
Trump should remind him, and the others that they must win the primary in order to fight for the belt.
B*ttplug is the mediocre mayor of South Bend, a very mediocre city with barely 100,000 residents. Besides being a fake Christian sodomite, B*ttplug has no experience or qualifications.
His elevation by the fake news media is just another sleazy attempt to delegitimize Biblical marriage.
Traditional Marriage in days of yore. Once upon a time!
Yes, Americans have become rather fond of sewer lifestyles & evil habits.
Like I’m going to believe some dim-witted pole-smoking screaming faggot over one of the greatest Presidents of all time.
Not gonna happen.
