Everyone who’s anyone has heard of Mayor Pete, right? He had his breakout performance during a CNN townhall in March and drew strong ratings during his Fox News townhall in May. President Trump has even been talking about Pete Boot-edge-edge during rallies. At the end of April, Politico Magazine ran a profile of Lis Smith, the Democratic operative behind Buttigieg’s aggressive media strategy:

In the past several months, Buttigieg has been not just all over cable and in the newspapers, but in Our Daily Planet, an environmental morning newsletter with just over 5,000 Twitter followers; in a financial planning podcast called Pete the Planner; and on West Wing Weekly, the obsessive episode-by-episode podcast breakdown of The West Wing. He’s been a guest on BuzzFeed’s morning news show, been featured on Vice’s nightly news show and sat down with a couple of the guys from Barstool Sports.

Oversaturation? Not possible, Smith says.

“I want him on everything,” she told me.

 

Despite the saturation media strategy, Buttigieg remains far less well-known than many of his peers in the presidential race.

And this may very well be the key to a democrat win in 2020. It worked in 2008 - select a nobody that no one ever heard of.

Ask your doctor if Buttigieg might be good for what ails your mental illness.

Despite Buttigieg-mania, 35 Percent of Democrats Have Never Heard of Him

Yeah, but on the down side, about that same percentage probably couldn't find Texas on an unlabeled map of the United States. An even higher percentage likely wouldn't be able to tell you who the current VP is.

Butt gag?

Buttigieg is nothing more than a character built by the media to fill a narrative. A product they hope to sell to an uneducated population.

When the media builds you up, they can destroy you just as fast

Will he maybe become known as The F A I R Y from GARY? And don’t act like that ever meant Michael Jackson.

Yes, but so was Obama in 2008

When the media builds you up, they can destroy you just as fast.

Yes, just ask Beto.
