Whither the Democrats? Will they lurch so far left that they fall off a cliff, dragging the entire party to ruin? Or will they listen to the voices from the middle of the country telling them to stop being crazy and get to work?
With Joe Biden sinking into irrelevancy, Elizabeth Warren fading fast, and other candidates preparing their exit speeches after the New Hampshire primary is over, the Bernie Sanders juggernaut is ready to steamroll the opposition and ride Trump hatred and socialist delusions all the way to the Democratic convention in July.
Can anyone stop him? The genuine surprise from the Iowa caucuses was South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg who, with 97 percent of the vote counted, still leads Sanders by a few thousand votes -- we think. The national party has asked Iowa to please recanvass the results and get the damn thing right.
Not that it matters. Mission accomplished for Mayor Pete. He outperformed expectations spectacularly. He exposed Joe Biden's failed candidacy, Elizabeth Warren's "me too" socialism," and Bernie Sanders' true vulnerability -- that far-left "enthusiasm" will only take him so far.
So Buttigieg will go to New Hampshire in unfamiliar territory: a frontrunner. It was at this point in 1980 that George Bush, after having dispatched Ronald Reagan in Iowa, claimed "the Big Mo" and proceeded to crack up his candidacy. The world turned its attention to Bush and all he could talk about was "momentum." He had nothing else meaningful to say.
Reagan crushed him in the primary.
What will Mayor Pete do with his new-found celebrity? In truth, he won't have much to say that's different than Bernie Sanders. He'll say it nicely with a cute Midwestern twang, but he still supports Medicare for all, free college tuition, and other far-left liberal programs

Was Booty molested by a pedo in his younger days?
He’s mayor of a Podunk city in a mid sized state.
His city is the fourth largest in the state.
Why is he taken seriously?
Sure. But who will save the party from Pete BootyJudge?
Say he can. Who is gonna save it from Butigeg?
He wont be able to primaries in states with large minority populations (he will be lucky to come in 3rd or 4th).That will be his downfall.Not every state has demographics similar to Iowa or New Hampshire.
Or ... Milwaukee WILL burn.
Peter.... Huh-huh-huh...
Booty Judge... Heh-heh-heh...
South Bend... Huh-huh-huh...
“Why is he taken seriously?”
I’ll give you one guess. And woke Democrats will rally around him in their latest exercise in virtue signaling.
Nope, neither Biden, Buttguy or mini mike can stop this leftist train.
Bingo.
Burt man is working the Obama playbook. Look and sound calm and reasonable, hide radical views, and accept any incremental gains. Be morally superior.
If he didn't publicly proclaim that he likes having sex with other men, the DNC wouldn't have let him on the stage.
The 'COEXIST Bumper Sticker' candidate can go only so far nationally.
Pete wants to break the glass ceiling for fantastic people. Imagine the drama if Trump beat The Edge in the general election.
Because Trump got elected with no political experience. I’m surprised Bloomie isn’t doing better. If Bootygeek takes the lead, how will the other candidates go after him?
This primary was Biden’s and he lost it due to impeachment.
Both CIA cyphers!
No, because as much as the media ignores it, black America was insulted by his saying being black is just like the decision to take it up the wazoo from another man.
And despite the kids under 30, most of America will recoil at seeing him kissing and groping another man onstage. He’s sick.
And then, there is his Oxford and CIA background. NO THANKS
A guy with a 9-line resume, and the last line is his gay-husband....doesn’t attract that many Democratic working-class voters.
The Dems keep trying out new front runners and then discarding them like old Kleenex tossed against the curb.
If Mayor Pete gets out in front of the pack he will have to watch his rear. (pun intended) Although his “husband” claims he already does that all the time. (sick humor intended).
Not anymore.
