Frankly I’m surprised Buttgig has made it this far. But AFAIK he doesn’t support reparations for slavery and ultimately that will cost him the nomination. The black voters on the Democratic plantation will not support someone who doesn’t kowtow to the victimhood narrative.

Iowans voted for a fudge-packer and a commie.

I need help re: Pete Booty-Judge and his relationship with his ‘partner’. Is mayor Pete the pitcher or the catcher? If elected would he be the 1st non-male president or the 1st whatever....? I’m confused, any help?

I actually think Bernie was ahead but being a true socialist he gave people with less votes some of his.

He takes it up the ass from another man. There will be a natural limit to how high he can rise when there’s video tape of him kissing another man on stage.

"I don’t know. He’d make a great challenger for Trump. You know all those gay black and Hispanics men and women will put him over the top!"

They don't understand why they can't get that black vote. They keep doing outreach and such, think they can turn it around. They live in a different world. A fake world.

It pays off to pay the software company early, like Pete did.

THe audacity? He wants to win. It was a great call to be the first one to get up and claim victory.

Yup. It’s the only reason why he’s taken seriously as a candidate. If he wasn’t a puppet of Langley he’d be laughed off the stage.

I think the only thing to come out of Iowa is that Biden is toast. Now that the SHAMP-peachment is over the Dems don’t have to act like Biden was a serious candidate.

Look at lead to least this guy is young and not some old hack!

I like yang. He’d be great

I think the young people in this country who vote Democrat would learn a lot more if a young guy ran

They would identify with him much more (or her)

The job in any election is to expose the left and not let them hide behind platitudes

If an unemployed 38 year old Alfred E. Newman lookalike can finish first, it gives us all hope. FABulous!

I think Sanders, Warren and Klobuchar should send appropriate thanks to Nancy for her impeccable impeachment timing.

I’m hoping it’s the radical communist “Feel the Burn” that takes all the marbles rather than “Lieawatha” or even the stinky “Butt Plug”. “The Burn” will provide the POTUS with wins in states that he didn’t win the last time. Besides, “The Burn” actually portrays what the domestic communist party has become perhaps better than any of the rest of the azz-clown show.
