Rivals are scrambling to dig up dirt on Pete Buttigieg
NBC News ^ | April 23, 2019 | Josh Lederman

Caught off guard by his sudden surge, Pete Buttigieg's rivals are scrambling to find vulnerabilities and lines of attack that can be used against him, five officials with opposing Democratic primary campaigns and Republican political groups tell NBC News.

The situation is different than with Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren and Joe Biden, Democrats who have long been on the national scene and were widely expected to run for president. Potential rivals and GOP campaign groups have spent years hunting for dirt — known in political parlance as "opposition research" — that could be deployed against them. Major political groups had entire books of "oppo" ready to go by the time those candidates entered the race. Biden is expected to enter formally this week.

If we could turn back the hands of time, I can see one very GLARING bit of dirt. In fact, with many people, being a homosexual and kissing another man, on stage, no less, is still a negative.

They could compare and contrast policy positions or leadership ability, but how boring, and dirt is cheap.

Well he’s already transgressed the Huey Long standard, but there’s not much that applies to the clown car that is today’s Democrat party.

So far, he’s been doing a good job destroying himself. Too much of a desire to preach and to show off. There’s a generational aspect to it. Too many millennials were brought up to think that everything they had to say was golden. Add the Rhodes Scholar thing to that and it can be hard to be modest or self-restrained.

Wearing blackface is OK if you are a Democrat racist with the nickname “Coonman” and support post-birth infanticide.

“Add the Rhodes Scholar thing to that and it can be hard to be modest or self-restrained.”

One of the kids I grew up with became a Rhodes Scholar and homosexual.

Buttplug said that he’s a Christian and has used his “faith” to attack VP Pence as something other than Christian.

This won’t appeal to the Christians or the Atheists (for different reasons).
