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.”

They all say that. Don’t get your hopes up.
“Let’s beat Peter!” was a slogan in a campaign against Pete DeFazio OR-4 a number of years ago.
He refers to partner as his husbandSo that makes (insert pronoun here) the wife?
Most of what he will get will be from the queer vote!
Seems to be having his “moment” a little early in the campaign cycle. Is this all a big show to ultimately get Newsome into the race?
Women vote with emotion, not logic.
We needed a black president, they gave us one
We need a loving gay president, they'll give us one
It’s been reported through reliable sources that this mayor of a city less than 50K who want’s to be president of 300 million has hair growing in his throat and on the palms of his hands
Is it true he takes his husband to all his events and introduces him?? If so, that will be a hard pill even for progressives to swallow.
Couple of months ago Avenatti was odds on favorite to win the democrat party presidential nod.
Today he's looking at 400 years in the slammer.
Yup
[[[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.]]]
As Benigno says, “Its things like this that make me glad I’m closer to the end than the beginning”
Just because he speaks in complete sentences and Trump has typos in his tweets.
Pete ButtyFag and his ilk are less than 2% of the population. Just because Hollywood is owned by faggies doesn’t mean they own America.
Even the home improvement shows feature faggie `couples’. To be expected but not a tidal wave.
How shocking, a democrat candidate saying he can beat Trump, what is he supposed to say, I haven’t got a snowballs chance in hell of beating Trump vote for me?
<p.
The only thing more surprising is that someone in media thought this was news.
He’s going to be their VP loser.
He’s a loser, but the Dem $$$$$ coffers will burst at the seams. That’s what matters to them.
The VP debate with Pence will be EPIC.
The only thing Butt-a-bang will be beating in 2020 is his....um, never mind.
Trump isn’t McCain or Romney.
The little queer who thought he could.
I think he can do it with slogans like: “We will seriously make the Oral office Oral!”
