So to be fair, I re-watched the video again. What are we talking about 3-4 people and 2 people standing on the sidewalk with KKK/BLM signs? The vast majority of that crowd seemed to be willing to give Pete a chance to deal with whatever happened. He really was trying to accommodate some people who were never going to be satisfied at that moment. Quite a change from politicians who run from it and hide from past decisions.
IMO, this is the media trying to off Pete in the upcoming Southern primaries.
I am not sure you saw everything. I watched it live and it was bad. He looked completely lost.

What can someone do when they are being yelled at from several people all at once? He is clearly a listener and wants to fix the problems there, but he needs time to handle this the right way.
That's one thing that extreme ideologues don't understand either. A far left Democrat ISN'T GOING TO WIN IN WV. They also likely won't win in many red/purple states. That's just the way it is.
It can be done...Ohio is a Purple state yet Sherrod Brown is a more progressive than many other senators are. I wish he would have joined the fray for the primary.
One thing that bothers me about Buttigieg (and I'm gay btw, but just because he's gay doesn't mean he'll get my vote) is his lack of experience in so many issues...it's too big of a leap to go from running a small city with probably what, 80,000 residents to being President. He's not anywhere near exposed to all the issues that come with that. He's a political neophyte who politicians like Senator McConnell (does anyone actually believe Kentuckians are smart enough to vote him out?) will run circles around and stop from getting anything done. He's also way to light on policies now.
That's what I like most about Senator Warren...she is putting actual policies out there. Not just pie in the sky platitudes like The Green New Deal or Medicare for All (how do you get there?)
I also am not high on Beto O'Rourke...if you can't win a Senate election over perhaps the worst Senator in the US Senate in your own state, how do you expect to win the White House? Democrats need a proven winner with hefty political experience to beat Trump.
I am not of the opinion Biden is the only one who can do that...but Buttigieg is not one.
I like the idea that he should focus on becoming either the next senator or governor from Indiana...gain more experience and start actually coming up with real plans and policies...run in about 8 years, since we should gain the White House in 2020...he could be a good one for 2028 then.
So I'm asking again. What should he have done? Please be specific.
Take the question and have a real confident answer instead blabbing and making excuses... What is so hard to understand about how to answer a question like a leader ..

Why don't you give us an example of him "making an excuse" instead of providing an answer.
