Mayor Cheat!

DES MOINES, Iowa—The thing about a victory speech, generally, is that it requires a victory. But when this year’s Iowa caucus didn’t quickly produce one, Pete Buttigieg claimed the win as his anyway.
The other candidates who spoke last night mumbled about the mess, proclaimed “on to New Hampshire!,” and said all the other things you’re supposed to say when results are up in the air. Buttigieg strutted onstage, smiling confidently as his well-prepped supporters chanted “BOOT-EDGE-EDGE” behind him, and in his very first sentence declared that “an improbable hope became an undeniable reality.
“We don’t know all the results,” Buttigieg added in a riff that was, like the rest of the speech, designed to evoke former President Barack Obama. “But we know, by the time it’s all said and done, Iowa, you have shocked the nation, because by all indications, we are going on to New Hampshire victorious.”
Maybe it’s his calculated manner, or the way he waves at a crowd like an animatronic member of the British royal family, or his midwestern aw-shucks niceness. But more than a year into his presidential campaign, despite all the attention paid to his candidacy, people still miss how aggressive Buttigieg is.
That’s what the victory-without-a-victory speech he gave last night was about.
Compare Buttigieg’s message with that of Joe Biden, who gave a shorter, less scripted speech. “We feel good about where we are,” the former vice president said. “We’re going to do this, I promise you. I promise you we’re going to get this done. God willing, we’ll do it together. On to New Hampshire!”

Mayor Cheat!
Usually the campaigner wins. Pete is working hard, great condition.

There is something really wrong with these people who Caucused in Iowa ...a self-proclaimed faggot in the White house ?...people are ____ing idiots . Just the arrogance of this loser fag mayor making it out like( “OH its just lil’ole me (poofboy) running for President!) its just another day....
Wow that’s a great point.
I’ve never seen a heart attack not slow someone down at all.
Do these people get different treatments and procedures than we do?
RBG survives pancreatic cancer. This guy’s up and about 25 minutes after a heart attack.
Well I’m exaggerating. :)
No, I DO NOT think he can keep up.
Pete may be a fruit but he’s young and a good enough looking guy with lots of energy in a crazy world where people aren’t totally shocked by two men marrying.
I think you are right.
No, people are not missing anything...it has to do with threatening your job or your position on modern day accepting...not being for Obama and you were instantly a racist...understand?
I expected him do so well. Lavender mafia is organized and will always over represent itself
Even though it is a Clinton-0bama company in charge of counting the votes, it looks like that $43,000 Buttgigger gave them paid off good.
writer is Obama loving EDWARD-ISAAC DOVERE.
headline: “The Audacity of Pete”!
The Audacity of Hope
The Audacity of Hope: Thoughts on Reclaiming the American Dream is the second book written by then-Senator Barack Obama. It became number one on both the New York Times and Amazon.com bestsellers lists in the fall of 2006, after Obama had been endorsed by Oprah Winfrey...

Buttigieg is mayor of the fourth largest city in a mid size state.
It’s crazy he gets anything other than derision.
So who wore the sexy lingerie at the celebration party last night between Pete and his husband?
re the writer Edward-Isaac Dovere - clearly part of the anti-Bernie crowd:
23 Mar 2019: The Intercept: The Crux of the Accusations Against David Sirota From the Atlantic’s Edward-Isaac Dovere Is False
by Glenn Greenwald
The Atlantic on Tuesday published a sensationalistic series of accusations by reporter Edward-Isaac Dovere aimed at long-time journalist David Sirota, whose hiring by the Sanders 2020 presidential campaign as a speechwriter and adviser had just been announced earlier that day. The Atlantic article predictably and quickly went viral, cited by major media outlets and Democratic Party operatives as proof that Sirota had acted unethically by critically reporting on rival presidential candidates in the prior months while dishonestly concealing his work as an operative or adviser for the Sanders campaign...
Since publication of Dovere’s bombshell, the Atlantic has tweaked and edited the story to reflect the multiple errors and denials that make it appear as though the original version contained those edits...
But the various edits and “updates” made by the Atlantic after publication do not begin to reflect what a journalistic debacle this article was...
It’s hard to overstate how many other media outlets uncritically repeated the Atlantic’s false timeline with no attempt made to verify whether it was true...

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?
Makes no difference, it’s baseball either way.
Pete calls him “My Husband”... That pretty much says that Pete is the ‘catcher’.
How did he know he beat Bernie?
He knew what the count would be. That is why they had this ‘debacle’ to get the result they want.

From the above link:
Shadow Inc. was launched by ACRONYM, a nonprofit corporation founded in 2017 by Tara McGowan, a political strategist who runs companies aimed at promoting Democratic candidates and priorities. McGowan, 34, is married to Michael Halle, a senior strategist for Pete Buttigieg’s presidential campaign, which records show has also paid Shadow Inc. $42,500 for software.
BUTT unpludged!
This is one Patriot who is NOT ready for a male President's "First Man" aka "HIS 'huband'".
Romania and Slovakia are looking increasingly attractive....
And the idiot made it about being accepted as gay instead of any qualifications...
