Plumbers and Steamfitters Local Union 33 has a sculpture of two 20-foot wrenches emerging from the mud out by its pocked parking lot in Des Moines, Iowa. Inside, a public bathroom features a shower adorned with gone-gray towels and multiple containers of industrial-strength body wash, presumably for cleaning up after some kind of toxic toilet encounter. It is all very manly.
The crowd goes wild! OK, maybe NPR singles-night wild. Still, there is light in their eyes as they contemplate replacing our porn-star-banging, syntax-mangling president with a 37-year-old gay Rhodes scholar/Afghanistan veteran who likes to install Wi-Fi sensors in his city’s sewers and plays Spoon on the piano. (Buttigieg’s most baffling inconsistency is that he insists he loves Dave Matthews and Radiohead.) He is married to a 29-year-old man who adores 30 Rock.
In person, he comes across as brave and unflappable, which, he suggests, might be a defense mechanism. “One reason that some people develop a calm personality is that you feel emotions so strongly that you learn quickly to govern them,” he says with a wry smile.
He is matter-of-fact about his sexuality. His marriage exists “by the grace of a single vote on the U.S. Supreme Court,” Buttigieg has said in his speeches.
Buttigieg’s campaign has been a sly combination of ambition and love, wearing boxing gloves while singing about hearts and flowers. He throws elbows, but they’re tempered with Midwestern politeness, hitting Biden’s pledge of a return to bipartisanship with “Normal hasn’t been working for a lot of people. . . . We’ve got to create a new normal.”
There may be another reason for Buttigieg’s nonsupport [from blacks], the stat that dare not speak its name: African Americans have been traditionally less comfortable with gay marriage.

More critically, is Mayor Pete ready for America?
Pete the pinko. Thinks God works for the government.
Yeah, these manly men want to replace our kick-ass president, who wants to secure our border, with a guy who doesn’t even want to secure his own anus?!? Come on!
Mayor Pete is not ready for America!
When Joe Lunchbox goes to the voting booth he ain’t gonna be pulling the lever for mayor Buttpipe.
After 8 years of 0, anything is possible and is void of shock value. Lots of Americans would vote for this dipsh&& solely because he’s gay.
I’m ready for Mayor Pete to fade back into obscurity so he can continue to run South Bend into the ground, instead of the entire U.S.
Democrat Party, Low Life, Mayor, Pete Buttigieg is going nowhere. He is a complete zero from A-Z. I cannot imagine this “Pajama Boy” dealing with the likes of the Russians, the Chinese, the North Koreans, The Iranians, The Turkish, the Cubans, the Venezuelans, the Arabs, in general, etc. Shucks ...these folks, our enemies would toss this fool from the roof top of the nearest high rise building.
Pete Buttigieg....man, folks....”Ya gotta be kidding, me”...this twisted, useless soul in going nowhere in politics...period!!! End of story...Goodbye, Mayor, Pete!!!
Pete is a queer. That is all. Aside from queer, he has no qualifications to be President.
“More critically, is Mayor Pete ready for America?”
Exactly. I was just going to say that.
His ideas, if implemented, would hurt, not help the US.
He’s not even ready to be a mayor.
Is America ready for Donald Trump?
stupid question, the wife is done.
Thank you so much David Plouffe for continuing to plug away trying to make this candidate a thing...
Can you imagine his “first lady” at events. America is not ready for viewing 2 men.. in that position of leadership, acting as man and wife.
rolling stone is a stupid leftist rag that has never published an article worth anything. But if shows us that the worshipful adulation has begun. Between now and Nov 2020, the entire media is going to paint a nice picture of all dem canditates for us to barf over.
Mayor Peter Eater can’t even manage to be a decent mayor of a small city.
Especially if he votes "straight" Democrat.
We had a faggot president. It didn’t work out well. “Mayor Pete” is done after his recent BLM dust up. No one wants you queers around. The people voted time and again against your blasphemous union, only to have it foisted upon us by black robed tyrants. Pound sand, and take that angry dyke soccar player with you.
