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

Exactly, but I would not have said it so nicely.
I don’t see how the Dems can win against the points you made.
Bwahahahaha!
“Can Pete Buttigieg Save the Democratic Party from Bernie Sanders?”
More likely give them the clap. Bernie is not even a DemonRat...LOL!
Hillary smiling and shaking her head watching TV: "Such a shame all those losers have such low numbers against Trump. They need a feminist icon to save them."
I think he’s the Antichrist: intelligent, erudite, charming, EVIL.
The ability to think critically is vanishing. O/T, I encountered that at work yesterday at my part time job. During an extremely busy period (sort operations), one of my coworkers decided it was time for her mid-day constitutional.
Several of us on the line audibly voiced our displeasure, as she does this every freaking day. When she returned, she singled me out, mainly because she has a year seniority on me.
Since when does seniority play a role in bathroom breaks? Rather than get into an argument with her, surely leading to a gender or race based charge leveled at me, I simply said I'd put my productivity against hers every day of the week.
The two supervisors that heard our exchange told me she was in the wrong, but I told them to be exceptionally careful, as my coworker is our union shop steward.
There are 4 of us that get along very well, and we're all fantastic workers: all of us are male (two white, one black, one Hispanic), 55 or older, and we don't give a rip about what we say. Our mantra is simple, and repeated often: this is BULLS--T! Everytime we say it, which is often, the supervisors start laughing.
Apologies for the thread hijack...I'm still trying to figure out the link between seniority and bathroom breaks needed during a 4 hour shift.
ButtigiegIdiot ain’t saving sh*t, he just as bad as SandersIdiot.
Oh sure hosting World dignitaries at the White House with his First Man hosting the wives. Lol
The fact that he’s gay and married puts him in the spotlight and the left thinks this is a perfect candidate to further their agenda.
He’s mayor of a small IN town. Has zero chance of carrying his home state in a general election. Just like Al Gore.
“Why is he taken seriously?”
Anal sex, of course!
He’s the great white Obama.
Minus the charisma and rock star appeal.
He is the homoBama. Articulate, clean cut homo. If Bern took him as VP they might do better.
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.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If only he had left him on the side of the road..........
They’re both communists.
As long as Trump wins.
Quite a preparation to become leader of a nation of more than 300 million people.
The Dems have smorgasbord of grotesque choices laid before them.
