I hear Beavis and Butthead cracking up at his name. "Huh huh huh, they said Butt-igieg!"

The media (and corporate America) have chosen him, he will be the 2020 candidate.

Maybe this election we could have third candidate- but I think having three candidates would guarantee a Trump victory.

My personal choice would be a candidate who pushes some “socialist” policies for all people, doesn’t push SJW issues, but still believes in tight border control. This must be the unicorn candidate because they’re hard to find.

I completely agree with this.

One thing's for sure, I don't think Pete Buttigieg fits that profile.

As far as the Right has pushed is the farthest the Left will push. It's just the other side of the coin, same coin. No moderation right now, not in this cycle of politics. I'll begrudgingly go hard left because I wouldn't vote for T for anything.

Interesting article in The Daily Beast today.

It seems that conservatives actually like him until they didn't.



"On his radio show a few days later, Limbaugh predicted that the “personable” Buttigieg would “make mincemeat” out of his primary rivals.

“There was no radicalism,” Limbaugh said.

Just a month later, Buttigieg is rising in the polls—and Limbaugh doesn’t like him anymore."

Why is it that you think anyone gives a care what Rush Limbaugh thinks?

That word doesn't mean what you think it means.

nope, it has nothing to do with socialism
Quote:
Fascism... the belief in the supremacy of the chosen national group over all other races and minorities; the total subordination of the individual to an absolute leader or Führer figure; the suppression of all autonomous secondary institutions; the rejection of values and institutions of parliamentary democracy and their replacement by fascist dictatorships; total opposition to peaceful internationalism (and) a foreign policy of expansionism and conquest as the natural ‘destiny’ of the nation." Fascism Definition
