During the sixth round of Democratic debates Thursday, South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg told Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., he was fit to run for president because he won an election in “Mike Pence’s Indiana.”
“We should have someone heading up this ticket that has actually won and has been able to show that they can gather the support that you talk about. Like moderate Republicans and Independents, as well as a fired-up Democratic base. And not just done it once, I have done it three times. I think winning matters,” Klobuchar said.
“If you want to talk about the capacity to win, try putting together a coalition to bring you back to office with 80 percent of the vote, as a gay dude in Mike Pence’s Indiana,” Buttigieg said.

Here are some pictures of Buttigieg “struggling” in Indiana when Pence was governor.

Buttigieg did not come out as homosexual until years after he was elected mayor in the town of South Bend, population 100,000. The first election Buttigieg ran for after disclosing his sexual behavior was for chairman of the Democratic National Committee, an election that did not take place in Indiana.
Even if Buttigieg ran for re-election in South Bend, he wouldn’t be running in “Mike Pence’s Indiana,” because South Bend is a historically blue city. Every mayor since 1972 has been a Democrat and in the 2016 election, South Bend was one of only four counties that voted for Hillary Clinton over Donald Trump. Further, and perhaps obviously, Pence no longer holds office in Indiana.
Pence in fact presided over the Republican state legislature’s capitulation to pro-LGBT business interests, who snowballed a state version of the Bill Clinton-signed Religious Freedom Restoration Act into special legal protections for people who claim an LGBT designation. As Dennis Saffran explained in 2015 in these pages:
In caving to corporate and elite pressure to ‘fix’ Indiana’s Religious Freedom Restoration Act, Gov. Mike Pence and the rest of the state’s laughingstock Republican leadership have ironically bungled into amending it in a way that now makes Indiana the most hostile state in the country to the conscience rights the original law was designed to protect.
The hastily and stupidly crafted amendment they enacted during Holy Week provides that Indiana’s RFRA can never be used as a defense in any gay rights or other civil rights proceeding by anyone other than a clergyman, church, or religious institution.
Buttigieg vastly overstated his credibility and record of bringing together diverse coalitions and winning elections. He’s also giving a false portrayal of Pence and state Republicans’ actions that created legal preferences for LGBT people over people of faith, even though Pence often gives the opposite impression of his own record while out giving speeches.
Buttigieg will never carry IN. He’s delusional.
Well, jumping into the Presidential race as a small town mayor was a kooky move, but it does make sense from a certain perspective. He isn’t going to become a Governor or Senator from IN. He could try for a House seat but the Dem Rep from the South Bend area has been in office since 1985, so he’d probably have to wait for him to die or retire.
So where do you go from there if you don’t want to be stuck as Mayor? He tried for DNC chair but lost probably because nobody had ever heard of him. Well, he’ll lose the Presidential primary, but now, when he runs for some other DNC position, or bucks for an appointment in the next Dem administration, at least people will know who he is so he’s got a chance.
Mayor Pete is queer....... that’s all
His support is from queers, dykes, perverts and those who are guilty about acceptance of the deviants a normal. Queer solidarity rules
Who is this Butti-gay-gay idiot?
The Maltese Queer...
Who would vote for him? Blacks? Nope, Latinos? Nada, Evangelicals? Never! Women? I don’t think so/ Without these he is dead in the water. America isn’t ready to elect a Gay President (if it ever will). We have yet to elect a Jewish President.
The Apostle John the Evangelist documented about 'Synagogue of Satan' as someone who calls himself Christian but is not and is doing the work of Devil.
See Revelation 2:9 and Revelation 3:9 for more on 'Synagogue of Satan'. Certainly Pete Buttigiege is STRONG worker to help Satan.
Can one claim that Jesus THE Christ supported Gay/Lesbian Marriage? NO!
Pete is a 'Cafeteria Christian' or Christian in Name Only [Just like Senator Collins of Maine is a RINO or 'Republicans in Name Only'
I can foresee NO CIRCUMSTANCE under which Mayor Buttplug becomes POTUS!
EVER
Can you imagine how far ObaMao's thin resume would had taken him if he had been 100% white instead of only 50%?
Wonder who his running mate will be.....since he’s sooooo confident he’ll get nomination.
“Buttigieg: I Can Win The Presidency Because I Eat My Own Fecal Matter From My Husbands Penis”
HOW VILE!!!
But TRUE!!!!!!!!
“PERVERT” for PRES.
The faces of EVIL!
Imagine this little dweeb having to deal with Putin or the NorKos...about the only "leader" he would be at home with is Justin Trudeau.
LOL!! Excellent!
He won the mayoral election because Notre Dame students voted him in, not because the South Bend population was overly fond of him.
Exactly. Yet another reason to despise that school.
Ummm, no, ButtigiegIdiot, but yeah, self-delusional thoughts are not a psychological disorder. /s
Oy!
