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

The idea the Buttigieg can save the Democratic Party from Bernie Sanders is laughable. At least for this year, there is no saving the Democrats.

His name is Maltese?
Can we call him the Maltese Falcon, then?
Using the rules of pronunciation, Buttigieg should be pronounced But’-ti-gieg.
See article I posted above.
The “real” pronunciation apparently defies ALL rational logic and linguistics.
Just because...
*giggity*
OBammy is gay and married to a man, so he wont be the first.
Nobody really knows him yet. The vacuum of political clout in the current Dem candidate list could suck the paint off an outhouse wall, and he's what's left. Crazy Bernie will be 79 years old in September, more than twice Buttiegieg's age. He would be 80 his first year in office. It isn't happening. So Butti has the advantage 0bama did, being a tabula rasa on which the media will paint their version of the Last Supper for the irrecoverably credulous that constitute such a major core of the Democrat party. They can't do that with Bernie and they know it. And I don't think it would be enough in any case.
Size of city not the issue...look at the indescribably filthy Bloomberg.
I suspect they shall have one but she won't be old and white.
We need the Mighty Mouse theme song playing in the background!
True.
Gosh, all of my family and a few friends think I am insane for believing such “nonsense.” Then I ask them if they would like to see a video of Moochelle dancing on The Ellen Show which shows some not so female body parts as she is dancing in those pants and they respond, NO!
His wife changed his name to buttisgood
They need a feminist icon to save them.
I suspect they shall have one but she won’t be old and white.

Do you mean Michelle Obama, Oprah, or the wild card——
Mittens Romney “coming out”, wearing a fetching sequined gown and high heels and swishing—uh, I mean switching—to the Dem Party.
Talk about drama.
Or drama queens.
Super Hillary photo....
Too bad-—for her, not us-—Hillary is weakened when confronted by........
TRUMPONITE.
Trumponite: In its most well-known form, it is a green, crystalline material originating from Hillary’s home world of New York, that emits a peculiar radiation that weakens her. Others of the Dem species feel the same startlingly debilitating effect, starting with Trump Derangement Syndrome and its symptoms. Up to now, no victim has survived.
Because he's GAY!
As a mayor he was a political failure.
As a GAY MAN he is attempting to elevate the LGBT AGENDA thanks to other GAYS and the MSM.
If Booty is the nominee, Trump wins in a landslide. African Americans will not support a homosexual.
Dang I completely overload that possibility.
No I suspect it would be Michael but on more thought I realized there could be a third possibility. Hillary with Michael as VP.
