Gotta love how some Buttigieg supporters are now finding scapegoats as he starts to crash and burn.

All their handwringing about blacks being homophobic is just an excuse if he loses.

I don't Pete is a racist but I definitely thought he look very uncomfortable in that town hall. His natural . . kind of dispassionate, level headedness didn't read well in that particular crowd where emotions were high. Pete just doesn't strike me as an emotional kind of guy.


Yeah; I'd still vote for him in a red hot minute over Trump.

In the end, Buttigieg is a very smart guy. I feel confident he will get it worked out.
That's it! You said it better than me.

Yeah, I adore him. From the moment I saw him in his first town hall, I was all-in. He is authentic, and he cares.

When I watch him in front of these emotional people in South Bend, he’s looking down, taking notes, etc. His responses are measured and calculated. It’s just not the right reaction in that moment. He needs to show outrage, passion. I know he cares. He just needs to show them that he cares.

Honestly, I wish Obama would mentor him.

Fiasco? I think it's good what the people did and while it's not likely I will vote for him, I have to give him credit for showing up.

He should have taken a page out of the Marilyn Manson playbook. When asked about what he would say to the Columbine shooters who the media said shot up the school partially due to his music, he said nothing. Instead he would just listen to them. There is a time to talk and this was not one of them. Let them vent dont say they are right or wrong, just let them vent. I mean don't let it seem like it fell on deaf ears, but don't say anything and nod your head to them. Sen. Rubio handled that televised Parkland town hall better than this IMHO.

Mayor Pete won't have the support of most African Americans as he is gay and homophobia is still (sadly) very prevalent in the African American community.

Sadly many Democrats will do what the media tells them to do.
Biden’s a racist? In what way?

I don't know, but reports were that Buttgig was able to escape out the back door.

So Pete is being blamed completely for this incident?
