Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg reacted to Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders victory in the Nevada caucuses Saturday by pleading with Democrats against rushing to nominate the democratic socialist, suggesting doing so could prevent them from defeating President Trump.
Senator Sanders believes in an inflexible, ideological revolution that leaves out most Democrats, not to mention most Americans, the former South Bend, Ind., mayor said in a speech in Las Vegas.
The comments come after Buttigieg and Sanders nearly tied in Iowa and after Sanders won the New Hampshire primary. Fox News projects Sanders will win in Nevada.
Before we rush to nominate Senator Sanders as our one shot to take on this president... lets take a sober look at the consequences -- for our party, for our values, and for those with the most at stake, Buttigieg said.
Buttigieg is seeking to establish himself as Sanders chief rival, as establishment Democrats fret over the possibility that Sanders may not be able to be stopped on his path to the Democratic nomination.
Fox News projects that Sen. Bernie Sanders will win the Nevada caucusesVideo I believe we need to defeat Trump and turn the page on this era in our politics by establishing a tone of belonging, bringing an end to the viciousness and the bullying that is tearing apart the country, Buttigieg added. Senator Sanders revolution has the tenor of combat, division, and polarization, a vision where whoever wins the day, nothing will change the toxic tone of our politics.
Referencing Sanders, Buttigieg said: We can prioritize either ideological purity or inclusive victory.
I believe the only way to truly deliver any of the progressive changes we care about is to be a nominee who actually gives...

Inflexible, ideological philosophical point of view, eh, Pete? Kind of like the idea of homosexuality?
More double-speak from Mayor Pete. He’s middle of the road, so he tells us, yet the few times he addresses specifics, instead of speaking in generalities, it’s almost always in support of a position that the majority of Americans consider radical. He argues that we need someone as president who isn’t an ideologue, and yet he constantly trashes Trump, one of the least ideological, pro common sense presidents we’ve ever had. With Trump, it’s all about the bottom line - results. With Mayor Pete, it’s all about lying about those results.
Bernie rooted for the USSR 40 uears ago in the miricle on oce game.
Well a sodomite is discussing ‘flexibility.’ Great. Tell us more - no, please don’t...
I really want to hear Tom Brokaws thoughts on Bernie and the way the party is steamrolling towards socialism. Brokaw always has this anchor/patriot vibe he lives to give off. I bet hes petrified.
The Bourgeois Socialists are afraid of the Marxists. They would go to the wall first.
Oh, I feel sure they have a DVR.
On the other hand, Lennin, Stalin and Mao would put Sanders up against a wall.
It’s not slime...it’s Astroglide.
Frankly, I dont give damn with whom he sleeps. But, I do care very much about his doubling the capital gains rate, his radical and inflexible views on abortion, his false talk on healthcare (he doesnt tell you that his public option would destroy private insurance), and his glib non-answers to most questions asked of him.
yep-true and the odd thing is Pete B is the only one attacking Sanders, the clear leader-I think they all want his supporters-they just have to promise more free stuff than he does
When Trump was running the table for the nomination in 2016, the GOP establishment freaked. Everything they said about Trump the Ds are saying about Sanders. Is there anyone here who thinks Sanders could be a bigger threat to Trump than what the pundits are currently saying?
All Democrats are the same type of socialists.....

100.00000% correct
I dont think the Democrats can steal the nomination from this time
My wife is an otherwise lovely and very intelligent person likes the guy and likes his rhetoric
It perplexes me and put it I just chalk it up to the fact that shes very naïve when it comes to communist rhetoric
Once you studied these people for a long time you realize that its all a bunch of nonsense
What our great and wonderful president Donald J Trump has taught us is that its all actions that count ! words mean nothing with politicians!
Bernard Sanders can get up and talk about Medicaid for all ! Or the green new deal with AOC. or whatever he wants - and none of it would ever- never ever in 1 million years- ever getting passed through both houses and signed. Never
“Note to Pete Buttiplugieg: So turn our your voters Mr. Number-Four in Nevada.”
I think he’s actually 3rd, and not far behind Biden.
He may well end up second.

Comic tragedy. What scares me is that the rank and file Dems will not see the demolition of the Democratic process right before their eyes. They will not see that it is not their party anymore but someone else's party.
