[Pete Buttigieg] == [idiot].

[BroJoeK]

Our FRiend OIFVeteran has a long list of Founders’ quotes along similar lines, including from Southerners like George Washington, Patrick Henry & others.

[drop 50 and fire for effect]

Mr. Buttigieg is a dilettante and intellectual lightweight. Senator Cruz schooling him on our founding fathers is like shooting fish in a bucket.

Our founders made tough choices, hoping that slavery would die out over time. They were wrong, it took a war to end it, but they were willing to make tough decisions and hard compromises in order to keep the colonies from fragmenting and establish a nation.

I suspect that Mr. Buttigieg, when confronted with a truly tough decision, where there are no good options, only various bad ones, will cower in a corner sucking his thumb.

Pete Buttigieg is not nearly as smart as he thinks he is.

What more needs to be said? LoL

[tophat9000]

Really Buttigieg? Then why did then set a date in the constitution set date went they were slow to ban the import of slave?

[Mr Ramsbotham]

The only thing Buttgig knows or cares anything about is buggery. It's his true weltanschauung; his reason for being.

[Last Dakotan]

The founding fathers must be going through a whiplash of sorts.

One week they are brilliant geniuses for forging impeachment, the next - ignorant racists.

[karnage]

Buttcake can’t even run a tiny Indiana town.

The fact that he is being taken seriously as a Dem presidential candidate shows how bereft is that outfit.

[Leep]

This guy will be the butt of all jokes for the rest of his life..haha

[Terry L Smith]

Let’s be plain, ok?
This queer, who has a problem with anyone who is a Deist, and, who embraces male and female, and nothing else.

If you are arguing or debating with Ted Cruz, you are going to lose and be embarrassed; every time.
