Pete Buttigieg has broken through the noise of a cacophonous Democratic presidential field by raising issues that usually fall by the wayside in an era when politics feels prepackaged and defined by short-term obsessions.
The South Bend mayor frequently talks about matters that are not strictly political, do not necessarily lend themselves to solutions by government, and have more to do with how we live our lives than where we stand on an ideological spectrum. It will be useful if his recent comments on two themes, religion and community, have a contagious effect.

Pete Buttslammer ?
Who dat?
Platitudes is all EJ Dionne has.
Pete Gigabutt, he’s some mayor somewhere with delusions of grandeur.
“Boo-tay....it’s pronounced Boo-tay.”
Given the appalling quality of his opposition this guy might actually gain traction.
The skills one needs to be a Mayor in a town of 100,000 are rather different from the ones needed to be POTUS. As a Mayor some of this consensus building/work it out kumbaya might actually be effective.
Butt-plug has a better chance than Chickencooper but that’s the extent of his progress.
Oh wow a Gay Neo Marxist Democrats, a nice try for a Dem. Now all he needs is to find some minority ancestor to claim since right now he is too pale and male for the current Democrat Fascist party.
re: “Pete Buttslammer ?

The next sociopath/psychopath to run as a democrat ...
The perfect Democrat ticket; KamelToe Harris and Butt-Plug Pete.
I thought it was buttplugs.
Don’t bring Joe Biden into this.
“...matters that.... do not necessarily lend themselves to solutions by government...”
Translation: WANTS BIGGER AND MORE INTRUSIVE GOVENMENT.
Why do homos always stick together?
First order of business, Da Mayor needs to anglicize his last name.
I’m anticipating a punchline...
However, their “solidarity” they think makes them a stronger force politically. Like all the aggrieved groups being a member of the group defines who they are.
Pete ButtSlammer as the mayor of Podunk, Indiana is not a serious candidate. He’s angling for a cabinet position.
Buttigieg is a “moderate” like Hillary Clinton & Barack Obama are moderates.
He’s trying to tell evangelicals what they want to hear, but he’s practicing taqquiyeh.
Yeah, he’s all about faith & Bible & family values. Riiight.
