Pete Buttigiegs recent popularity surge in Iowa and New Hampshire has many speculating that President Trump could face a Democratic ticket in 2020 that he doesnt want and fears the most the South Bend, Ind., mayor and another candidate recently in the spotlight, Rep. Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii.
Despite what the experts might say, its certainly possible. Like weather forecasters and economists, political pundits often are proven embarrassingly wrong. Voters from both parties have a tendency to recalibrate rather quickly, and quite unexpectedly, toward candidates they believe actually might have a chance of winning.
In 2004, for example, Democratic voters threw the preening pundits a curveball when, during the primary process, they suddenly tapped on the brakes, took a much longer and harder look at frontrunner Gov. Howard Dean of Vermont and turned in the slightly more establishment direction of Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts.
Four years later, Democratic primary voters most certainly went counterintuitive again when they bypassed the pundit-approved and -predicted candidate of Sen. Hillary Clinton of New York, for relatively unknown Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois.

Who else is there? Oprah? Michelle? Eric Holder probably wouldn't generate any enthusiasm.
A subserviant female negro- like Stacy- wouldn’t do IMO.
A male negro VP could, but I don’t see any good choices either.
So... impeach.
Don't underestimate the stupidity of the voters. I thought the same thing when a guy with the middle name of Hussein ran. I was wrong on that one too.
MORE LIKELY the Black men in DROVES would just STAY HOME. (Religious Black women will NOT vote, as well.)

Yeah, but if Buttgig won the inauguration would be fabulous.
Pete Buttigieg and Tulsi Gabbard...
Will Tulsi be the man or woman in this hookup and will she even allow Fecal Peter to run as the male?
Not fabulous enough for the hundreds of tranny protesters.....
Tulsi would be a dangerous opponent.
The mayor of South Bend, Indiana (where things ain’t so great, BTW), whose affectional preferences are his major qualification for national office?
Don’t be ridiculous.
Michelle and Tulsi. Which of these is NOT a man?
I'd tap one and fist-fight the other. I'll let you guess.
Bootybutt has no chance of winning unless there is mass fraud.
Gabbards a better bet for 2024 and beyond. Democrats need to work through their Daddy issues.
The smear machine hasnt kicked into high gear yet concerning Tulsi.
The Tulsi part is correct.
Mayor Pete is a joke.
Well, if by "winning" you mean being sworn in on 1/20/21, you are of course correct.
But reconsider the Trump nomination.
What he did was blow through a field of preselected "top Republicans" by exposing the fact that they were hollow men who had no substance beyond what the "donor community" had put there.
The Democrat donor candidate selection process is vulnerable to the same attack line.
Whether Mayor Pete is the guy to deliver the news, I have my doubts.
Bout both party establishments have sold out to the donors long ago, and candidates who pull back the curtain can prevail if the winds are right.
