TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. (AP) — Some believe the Democratic Party’s next savior is living here, huddled with family, in the relative obscurity of a small city on the shores of Lake Michigan.

Pete Buttigieg has yet to decide if that’s a responsibility he wants.

For now, Buttigieg, the 43-year-old former U.S. transportation secretary, is discussing his future with party officials, labor leaders and top strategists. He must decide soon whether he wants to return to the national spotlight as a candidate in Michigan’s U.S. Senate race or step aside to instead seek a much bigger role as his party’s next presidential nominee.

What a damned joke!

Buttigieg only scored his appointment as Secretary of Transportation as a pay-off for dropping out of the 2020 Democrat primaries and endorsing Joe Biden for the presidential nomination. The dud literally sucked at his job and was an incompetent embarrassment.

This diversity hire parlayed his serving as an inept mayor of a declining Rust Belt city into a national position. After serving as Secretary of Transportation, he decamped to another state (Michigan) because he knew that he was unelectable in Indiana. What an egomaniac he is!

They said Mitt Romney once got up as dawn was breaking and gazed out the window, waiting for a message about whether he should run or not.

He won’t get out of the primaries for President. He’d be able to get the nomination for Senate and then lose spectacularly.

Instead of campaigning using a 757, he can ride around in a Suburban and get out a block from his next campaign bike shop stop with his bike and ride to the event.

I wonder if Pete will wear his artificial breasts when he’s campaigning?

Could it be they are looking for the wrong Savior? In the wrong place?

ROTFLOL!

With leftist lies no longer working, even the AP is now reduced to competing with the Babylon Bee!

I’d suggest Squirtgun Pete aim no higher than Senate, but he shouldn’t have a chance in his state.

With the pushback against the absurdities and wokeness of the democrats, making their presidential candidate two homosexuals married to each other and fake breast feeding their adopted babies should be just what the democrats need.

I burst out laughing reading the opening lines of this crazy “news” article. Senator Buttplug? Lololol! Yeah, he’s a real “savior” all right. Maybe a pro at temporarily “saving” a throbbing salami in his piehole and elsewhere but that’s about it.
