Trump says Buttigieg's exit a sign Dems trying to stop Bernie Sanders
Fox News ^ | March 01 2020

Moments after former South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg told supporters he's ending his presidential campaign Sunday, President Trump said it reflected the growing pressure among more moderate Democrats to consolidate in order to blunt the rise of progressive Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt.

Trump tweeted: "Pete Buttigieg is OUT. All of his SuperTuesday votes will to Sleepy Joe Biden. Great timing. This is the REAL beginning of the Dems taking Bernie out of play - NO NOMINATION, AGAIN!"

Buttigieg previously had said Sanders was too liberal to be elected.

That’s exactly what it is. Looks like Biden, owned and operated by global slave master Hillary, will continue to keep Bernie’s young folks in and out of minimum wage jobs and homelessness for the rest of their lives. They will beg on their knees just to get their daily bugs and rice.

Go Sanders!

(Seems odd cheering on an open socialist/communist running for US president but he seems the only honest Democrat. Will love to see him matched up against President Trump.)

Buttigieg previously had said Sanders was too liberal to be elected.

Correction/Translation: "Buttigieg previously said Sanders was too openingly socialist to be elected"

I remind that the Clinton White House was full of people with Lenin lapel pins. (Vladamir Lenin) The Dem party has been progressing towards greater and greater socialism most of my adult life. If not for Newt Gingrich... we'd have been there already.

The Demo Convention might be a RIOT to watch...

Any bets on the DEM convention being choreographed and heavily edited by Hollywood to weed out or block as much negative impressions as possible?

I agree with that. A serious and dedicated candidate would have at least stuck it out through Super Tuesday. Some backdoor deals seem to be at play here and that’s the way Bungholejudge like it.

The liberal media whores will be trying to downplay all the action.

Could get interesting.

They are saving him for a winnable election in 2024. I suspect his handlers are the obama handlers. They had him out there for name exposure and now they are on to 2024.

I told you guys he would drop out before the convention. Mayor HOmo was never in it to win. He is far too young to lose an election to Trump.

Bootygeek ....so glad he’s out ! I get almost viscerally I’ll, thinking about an American President having open gay sex in our White House.

It’s a repugnant sin towards God , no matter what you may think. The men of Sodom paid a terrible price . The Lord could inflict such a Judgement on America , should we have gone that route. It matters.

President Trump is exactly right as usual. The dems are trying to kneecap Bernie just like they did against Hillary. The powers that be in the DNC can't abide letting Bernie get the nomination. Buttgigger obviously got some kind of backroom deal (or is that backside) to drop out and let Biden collect his supporters. I expect it might be an invitation to be VP if Biden gets the nomination.

If I was Bernie I'd be hiring food tasters about now.

All Butgiggity's departure tells me is...

Between Bernie, Biden and Bloomberg, frisky elf Buttgiggity doesn't want to stand behind any of them.
