America has already elected 29 veterans.

Electing yet another one will be nothing special.

Beto has never polled over 21% in any poll I have seen, and regularly averages under 10% now. And never higher than second place ( mostly 4th place now)

So no, 1/2 of the party did not say he was going to win a week ago.

Kamala was just in Houston. Only 2,100 showed up.


This speaks for itself. Fascinating at how Democrats are so scared of Pete B. that they are hoping and praying that he fails.
You understand that in a Primary, people support different candidates right ????

Statements like this are all but proof that WaldoKitty is psychologically preparing him/her/it self for a Trump fall. You could almost substitute "Pete B" for "Donald Trump" and it would sound like your classic WaldoKitty post.

Sounds like you are scared of Pete B. too. I've said more than once the Democrats shouldn't dismiss him because he's Gay. He'd be their dream candidate if he was married to a woman.

Why do you guys take this position?

No one cares that Buttigieg is gay.

He's simply a terrible candidate.

I gave my opinion on Pete B here. I just don't think he's (yet) got the right experience to be president. If he had at least 1 term as a governor or maybe a couple terms in the House, I'd be happy to support him. What I know of his positions sounds OK to me, but there's more to being president than just the right stance on policies.

And I notice you didn't deny my claim.

Wait. Has Bernie actually re-joined the Democrat party? He resigned in 2016.
