Not super happy with Biden. He seems too much like a McCain, Romney, or Kerry, but I will vote for him if he's the nominee. I think Biden would lose to any other Republican but to Trump I'm not so sure. I think he'll do better in the Rust Belt than Hillary did, especially when you account for the likely much increased turnout.
I'd rather not vote for any more Boomers, but if he's the nominee, I'll vote for him.
You can bet money on it that Trump would stick both feet in is mouth and refer to him with the Q or F word, or mask it with Man of Sin!
Imagine schoolchildren asking their teachers, if Pete wins: Who's our First Lady now?
Man. Some Democrats just can't get over the Gay issue.
As far as Trump is concerned, that's silly. I'd take the bet that he wouldn't. He's employed Gays & Lesbians for a long time, and of course he's been a part of the entertainment business for a long time.
I think Buttigieg will win the primary, and I think it has been fore-ordained as such. It's actually pretty obvious by looking at the numerous threads here in support or approval. A little weird, but obvious. Another one of those "out of nowhere" candidates with lots of support, a rapidly rising profile and money flowing in for his campaign. Looks to me as if some sort of decision has been made and if I were one of the other candidates, I'd be giving some serious thought to dropping out right about now.
I was watching a video on ancient Rome the other evening and believe me, the US has way more room to fall.
I don't know, Bernie is popular and Beto is as close to a traditional Democrat as we have seen. I think it will be one of those two honestly. I'm open to whomever. I will vote Democrat just to stick it to Trump (unless he is primaried) and down ticket I'm voting Democrat too because I will not vote for McSally and after the 2018 election where the Republican leadership in the state tried to tell me my mail-in vote doesn't matter.

It's Republicans who can't get over it. Just look at what religious right leaders are saying about him.
As a gay man living in the South, the thought of a Buttigeig candidacy scares me let alone him being elected. In some parts of this country, it's going to set LGBT acceptance back decades if it happens.

I'm not so sure. I'm sure he'd get thunderous applause from his base.
besides, ole Joe would only be 82 running for re-election.
That's part of the problem with Boomers in this election. If someone like Mayor Pete didn't win the nomination, I'd hope ole Joe (or ole Bernie) would be smart enough to select someone like Mayor Pete as a running mate with the broad understanding that Pete should succeed him in four years.
First homo president? The media will be all over that. I expect to see him win the primary after the media gives him unending support and constantly attacks and lies about his candidates for the next year and a half.
Becky Bond didn't seem like a fit with him or the campaign manager. I don't know the details but it seemed that as a 2016 Sanders staffer she was too progressive or radical for him and the campaign manager. I read an article where it sounded like she wanted to be or was going to be the top staffer. I don't think that happened. I wouldn't give this event anywhere near the weight that it was given by Carlson. He is not a Democrat and not a serious journalist either.
O'Rourke is unlikely to be a top candidate but he is also unlikely to quit this quick.
I would like Pete to be the nominee, but am concerned Joe Biden will be the chosen one...
Maybe it will end up being "Biden-Buttigieg".
