I never understood where Pete Buttgig came from, as far as how he became a major presidential candidate.

How does a 38 year old mayor of a small city, become perceived as a major presidential candidate? Did he really raise that much money in the wine cave fundraiser, to get the dollars to mount a major campaign? Is it because we are so politically correct, that nobody wants to raise this issue of where he came from, because of fear of being labeled as some homophobe, that any criticism of him would be due to homosexuality?

Who recruited him to run for president? Where did he get the idea that his record of being mayor of a minor city somehow qualifies him to be president?

Bernie beat Cankels by 20 points if I recall it. Bernie’s
backyard, NH. his turf, he has lots of staff and volunteers
who have been planning for this primary for years.
And now that Dems have shown the Commie they will cheat to
defeat him he will make sure to get a more honest for Dems
that is result.

As for Judge Booty, he can’t even get Black voters to like
him. I like his nick name, Fudgepecker Bootycrack.
I can’t see him doing well in a Trump debate. If Trump beat Ted, a national debating champ, how is Judge Booty
gonna do better than Ted?

Probably the same people who plucked Obama from obscurity and put him on the national stage are plucking Booty.

Or Hillary’s people. A young guy like Booty, were he to become the nominee, would need an older VP with “gravitas” and experience to round out the ticket. Enter Hillary.

Maybe some anti-Trumpers dropped the idea in his head and promised all sorts of backing...

It’s probably the same as Obama. He was annointed by Golden Sacks or another Wall Street firm as an articulate guy who could be made into a puppet. Maybe the Deep State groomed him too.

That’s my guess.

You apparently haven’t seen his resume or his service photo. He’s a bad ass life taker / widow maker veteran. That’s what qualifies him. / bitter sarc

”Where did he get the idea that his record of being mayor of a minor city somehow qualifies him to be president?”

That’s not his qualification and you know it.

His qualification is how he likes it, and that is a reason to abandon politics and move to burn it all down.

I’m not sure of the guy’s actual name, but his initials are something like C-A
