Dear, 2018 was a disaster for the Democrats. And their unwillingness to even consider they are in trouble, because they are so so deranged over Trump, speaks to this
Talk about derangement!! Repubs have truly lost it over the 2020 election.

Default Pete Buttigieg, does he stand a chance?

Rising star Pete Buttigieg has defied a lot of expectations so far, bringing in $7 million in the course of barely 2 months, starting with virtually no established donor network, and very little name recognition outside of Indiana.



https://www.cnn.com/2019/04/08/polit...nce/index.html


He's 37, openly gay, and married for the past 3 years, Navy veteran who deployed to Afghanistan, Harvard Graduate, and Oxford Rhodes Scholar, worked at the McKinsey Consulting firm, and speaks 7 languages, allegedly, not sure how fluent he is.



I live in the South Bend's neighbor city of Mishawaka, but I work in South Bend and visit there almost every day, even when I am not working. South Bend has seen a lot of changes, and there are people who have pride in the city again, most people feel that it's no longer dying, although it still has a lot to do to catch up with other peer cities. I really should work on gathering a photo collage of what downtown South Bend looked like in 2011 compared with how it looks now. 3 high rises were mostly vacant, two one way 4 lane roads cutting through downtown making it very difficult to cross both streets as a pedestrian or ride a bike, now have been converted to one way streets with dedicated green bike path on the sidewalk, there's been over $350 million in private development downtown in the past 6 years with more on the way. South Bend is small on a national scale, only 102,000 people, MSA of 316,000 people.



So what do you think, does this guy stand a chance in the Democratic Primaries?

Absolutely. He has a good track record so far, and seems well spoken.

At the moment, I'd say he has a decent shot.

Better to ask who has his side than who has his back!

Really? Have you heard him speak on coming out? He has said that if he could have swallowed a pill as a boy that made him like girls that he would have. Being gay is not a choice. Do you choose to like the opposite sex? Or is it just natural attraction that you feel? As Pete has said to people like Mike Pence, your quarrel is not with him, it's with his creator.

He will take some votes away from Democrats, in my opinion. Thats why the Democrats are fighting him already.
