Pete Buttigieg, the little-known Indiana mayor who has risen to prominence in the early stages of the 2020 Democratic presidential race, made his official campaign entrance Sunday by claiming the mantle of a youthful generation ready to reshape the country. “I recognize the audacity of doing this as a Midwestern millennial mayor,” he said to cheers of “Pete, Pete, Pete” from an audience assembled in a former Studebaker auto plant. “More than a little bold, at age 37, to seek the highest office in the land.” In the hours after his announcement, more than $1 million in donations poured in, said Lis Smith, speaking for the campaign.

You have a homo running as a Democrat with the word “butt” in his last name.

You can’t make this stuff up.

Don’t gloss over the fact that his first name is “peter” as well.

Peters and butts. Two of his favorite things.

This is akin to the sudden meteoric rise of The Clinton Crime Syndicate in the late 1980’s, the “Wonder Kids” who suddenly exploded on the American scene with the 1992 election, which Slick won on a fluke, only that Ross Perot drained so many votes from George H. W. Bush.

While GHWB was not the greatest thing ever to come to the top in America, four more years with him at the helm would have set the table for Donald J. Trump, who then would have been running as a Democrat, in the 1996 election.

And Trump being Trump, we would have had the same resurgence we are now seeing, only 20 years earlier.

Even Fox seems to be hyping this guy, saying how he could do so much better than Hillary or the average democrat in the Midwest states that democrats need to win.

Personally I just don't see it. I don't think the country has changed as much as the media thinks it has. I just don't see the country electing a gay man and his "husband" to the most powerful post in the land. Then again, the country did elect Obama, so who knows?

Americans already elected a homosexual, twice, albeit one who remains in the closet. Don’t believe the electorate is ready for an in-your-face pickle sniffing sex pervert with a “husband” as POTUS. Yuck factor is too high.

Drudge is hyping him as well. Pink mafia sticks together. So to speak.

But there might be a problem:

I would be embarrassed as an American to have a pervert as President. I’d rather see them back in the closet or, better yet, seeing a psychiatrist so they could figure out that Part A should go into Part B.

Fox Leftists News is full of the gay mafia too .
Look at Sheppy who run the new room .
Fox is full of more deranged Manhattan leftists.

That midwest lie is based on nothing but more lies .
Has Fox says this spin is based on what ?
Nothing .
The Blue collar Midwest will support a gay Marxist sodomite who twists the bible with a husband .
Please .

Stop watching Fox leftist propaganda .
I turn it off at the Gym and no one cares .
These 24/7 media lie outlets are dangerous to our country .

Has the national media reached its quota of puff pieces about this guy yet?

They never write this stuff about GOP candidates.

He is the only public official that I know of that gets called by his title and first name instead of his last name. I wonder what it is about his last name they’re trying to avoid?
