Washington (CNN)Pete Buttigieg is weighing whether to endorse Joe Biden after exiting the Democratic presidential race late Sunday night and later speaking on the phone with the former vice president and former President Barack Obama.

An endorsement for Biden is likely, two people close to Buttigieg say, but whether he makes the decision before Super Tuesday is unclear.

“Hey Joe, with Pete behind you, what’s not to like?”

Might be the other way around. Joe may like Pete’s shampoo.

Oh man. Now I can’t unsee that.

They are not going to let Bernie win.Period. And as an added bonus they use will him to say that the reasoned moderates have prevailed and our centrist candidate will restore calm to the nation and help the American people when there is no difference between Sanders and the rest of them.

Getting Buttplug to drop out, endorse Biden, and after Biden wins the nomination to be the VP running mate is the way Quid Pro Joe rolls.

• Pete Buttigieg dropping out smells a lot like quid pro quo
• Pete Buttigieg quits Democratic presidential race
• Sen. Tim Kaine endorses Joe Biden before key primary elections
• Labor leader: DNC should not change rules to help Sanders avoid a contested convention
• Kamala Harris's Catholic Problem
• Bernie and entourage take 3 private Gulfstream jets instead of driving just 2 hour.

Here's a vid from January, different "song", different dance, Bernie appears to be doing some eye rolling; but look how civil they are to each other -- there's the Sanders-Steyer ticket being born.

** Rush would play that song, My Boy Lollipop, whenever Frank was to be the next topic. **

Did Dennis Hastert have a song, too?

A quid pro quo is only bad if a Republican does it. In fact, quids pro quibus happen all the time in politics, but they didn't become illegal until a few months ago when the Democrats needed something to accuse Trump of.

the pun is funny ... but NO

You cannot make significant money out of the interior dept. It is clear that is what he wants

Did Dennis Hastert have a song, too?

Not that I recall. There were plenty of others rising to that occasion. Rush can't do everything, lol.
