The early jump up may mean he has to get a third place or better in Iowa or NH to be considered as performing well. Fifth probably won't cut it.


Sanders seems the most likely to make early top 3. After that it not clear. Probably Harris. Maybe Biden or McAuliffe.

If they had ONE candidate who they could sink their money into, they would have a chance... I am so happy there are so many candidates who are dividing up the money so that when Sanders is nominated, he won't have any money left...

Good luck with that Introduction.

Pete Buttigieg will not be the President.
He has never said that being gay was his main issue! Look, he is married to his partner, seems to love him like any married person would love their spouse, why even bring that up?

I think that his main priority is keeping America safe, keeping jobs here, being fair to everyone, and not going on social media everyday to insult anyone that disagrees with him. Pete seems very sane, unlike other ‘politicians’!

I suppose you consider that worse than “I want to be the president. I took my mistress on a family vacation?â€

Ah, no.

This poster summed it up perfectly:

No, he has no chance - at least not this election cycle. It's too close on the heels of having a gay democrat president from 2008-2016. Granted that one was in the closet albeit with a really bad "beard", but then he had the "advantage" of being black .... well HALF black, and a muslime to boot. ButtGig is too pasty white to get the nomination this soon while the DNC move radical left at light speed.

Just when you think you've seen everything, another one takes the cake.

Folks, people like this vote. It's scary.
