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.”

Some Dems are trying to build him up.

But he doesn't even have any real chance to beat his Dem rivals, and zero chance against Trump.

Delusional idiot.

I’d love to agree 100 percent.

But this is the new America that elected obama twice.

I’ll rest after the election.

He’s the best of the Dem field so far... but only a mayor, of a relatively small city. His greatest accomplishments have been parks and roundabouts.

Do you mean parks and reach-arounds?

He’d lose his home state by 25 points.

I doubt he could even get elected to the House in his own district

Butt plug might beat President Trump at thumb wrestling on a good day but that’s about it.

It’s not only the presidential election that matters, albeit it’s the most important...but we need a Trumplican (non RINO) Congressional majority too...or else Trump’s admin will continually be playing defense and getting the most far-reaching initiatives stalled.

Too many pockets of outright Marxism in our Congress now, gaining steam. They don’t even hide their Marxism anymore!
