Pete Buttigieg, the 37-year-old mayor of this northern Indiana city who in just weeks has vaulted from being a near-unknown to a breakout star in the Democratic Party, officially started his presidential bid here on Sunday, presenting himself as a transformational figure who is well positioned to beat President Trump, despite being young and facing off against many seasoned rivals.
“I recognize the audacity of doing this as a Midwestern, millennial mayor, but we live in a moment that compels us each to act,” Buttigieg said in front of thousands of supporters, jacket-free with his sleeves rolled up. “It calls for a new generation of leadership.”

Just what we need as Commander in Chief...a specimen who wears nipple clamps.
Such delusion! South Bend has a population of just 102,000 and a mere 8,515 citizens cast their votes for Mayor Buttsex. And that makes him the Democrats’ great hope? He is the latest flavor of the month, their Avenatti du jour, soon to implode.
[[I’d love to agree 100 percent.
But this is the new America that elected obama twice.
I’ll rest after the election.]]]
+1. The gay lobby has huge amounts of cash. I also think that in the end, the Dems are going to be scrambling for a “clean” candidate to run.
“This guy was groomed for it just like Obama. He is no small threat in that regard. They don’t want you to know it, but this guy has deep connections to the dark and evil people who wish to push their agenda on all of us.”
Much as I hate to agree, but I am afraid you may be correct.
We really need to fight to keep this lowlife out of the Oval office.
I thought that Beto was the Obama of the cycle, but I’m going to switch to this guy. He’s the media’s Obama. They will build this guy up and promote him every step of the way.
Yet another horrible leftist. I will never vote for him or any other leftist ever.
JoMa
The Ministry of Propaganda seems to think he’s “the one” this time.
imagine.
this is what passes for clean these days.
if we ever have a male president with a first “husband” there isn’t enough Jack Daniels in the world for me and I hope God takes me that day.
I feel that jokes made about his name will only help him, not hurt him one bit. I am going to shelve the Butt jokes until he's gone.
“I bet he beats his “wife” constantly.”
Beats off his “wife” constantly.
“President Buttigieg” - it has such a nice ring to it.
Makes no never you mind, the peps aint ready for this crap,this go round but its coming.
Hes just a front runner
Buttigieg is just another empty Che T-shirt joining the ever-expanding caravan of Dem clowns wanting to be POTUS.
Yeah, well, he can b**t his m**t (and his partner’s) till the cows come home - mark my words - it ain’t happening
Instead of the race card the homophobe card will be played.
All I have heard from his is about his husband and him being gay that’s all he talks about.
If he’s the Dem’s pick, I hope Trump kicks his Buttigieg.
His campaign slogan will be “Rump not Trump”.
He can SAY whatever he wants. Ain’t gonna happen. MAGA! :)
If the sexism card was not enough to carry Hillary, the homophobia card most certainly not carry this guy.
The left has allowed its own media megaphone to convince them that less than 2% of the population is 60%. Reality will stick them right in the arse.
was pete really cured from AIDS?
Didn’t his college lover die from the disease?
