Right now Buttigeig as the darling of the party. He is good looking, young, not to liberal, good speaker, and the fact that he is openly gay is a plus, at this time. But he will have to convince the country that he is the one and the Dems will not be able to control what happens. So far, with a year plus before the convention we are seeing a different super star every month.
You seem to be mixing up the Repub candidates with the Democratic Party.

Why not? America put a fake “business-man” in office last time.

He was a CEO of a global Fortune 500 company that he built and which employs 30,000 people. We know that you said that you "hate" Trump but at least be honest.

what in God's green earth are you talking about? I am simply saying: 4 years ago the Rep had a list a mile long with so and so being at the top, within a few months the top guy went down down and ended up not even a serious candidate That is likely what will happen to the top candidates right now on the left side. do you understand at all what I am getting at?

BTW, you can not compare him to Trump. I am not anti gay by any means. I have a gay foster daughter who is married to her wife and we love them with our whole hearts. But to try and compare a business man to a gay married couple is nuts. BTW, Trump, like him or hate him he is not a "Fake" business man. sounds like yo are terribly informed. Maybe you can explain?

When he releases his tax returns, we’ll learn if he really is a billionaire or simply borrows money from Russians (or launders it) and owes millions of $$$$’s all over the world. It is a well known fact that Trump does not pay small contractors and some of those small companies have even had to go out of business. He claims he has billions, and he claimed that Trump Tower was 10 stories taller than it really is so he could borrow more money against it. Real proof of his claimed wealth is needed to prove what he’s really worth.

Hahahaha. If Trump were to send his tax returns to you to review, you'd still say he was hiding something. This topic is about Buttigeig, BTW. He's getting a lot of traction quickly.

Buttigieg is a Harvard/Oxford graduate who speaks 8 languages, and is a Rhodes scholar. He is a 2 term mayor of City. He is a Navy veteran of Afghanistan. His “husband” is not a porn model like Trump’s spouse. Buttigieg has more governing experience now than Trump had when he was elected. Mayor Pete speaks very well, not in crazy sound bites/tweets, like Trump.

I do compare him to Trump and Mayor Buttigieg wins over Trump by a landslide.

It's clear now. It wasn't before...

Don't get me wrong, Pete is one of the very few reasonable and sane Democrats running and I would take him over Trump every single day. But FOX and the right wing media will make sure to make him being gay an issue in some form or fashion.
