Trump's godless but claims he has faith, which nobody believes.

So why the outrage of a barely known politician claiming the same, except for his political party?

I don't intend to vote for him in the primary but I absolutely support his outspoken stand for his faith, which I share.

Perhaps he is a man of God. But having someone like Donna Brazile vouch for you isn't exactly a ringing endorsement.

Buttigieg is a man of big money donors and Wall Street. Just like Trump. Its a sad situation how much control the ruling Wall Street elite has over the political process.

Naturally, Donna Brazile, a woman who's swimming in bribe cash from lobbyists and special interests will hype him up and stand firmly behind him.

His average campaign donation was 36 dollars. he has 160,000 unique donors. So what does Wall Street have to do with this ??????

You know you can dislike someone without trying to claim they are beholden to Wall Street right ?

can you actually quote where he said he supports abortion that late; Or are you talking about one of those cases where a child is alive inside the womb, but every organ is outside its body and will die at birth ????(because that is what he is talking about in the only interview he did on that subject)

Of course he is beholden to the ruling donor class. Thats why corporate media are so in love with him. They know he'll preserve the status quo and the power and privilege of the ruling class. Just like Trump is doing. He has been actively courting the big money donors. Just like all Wall Street democrats do. Media is hoping he'll be another Obama. We'll see.

Define "donor class"

Do you mean anyone with 36 dollars they are willing to part with, because Im not rich, im not even middle class and i donated to his campaign( i did it to make sure he qualified for the debates).

As for "courting big money donors" every candidate does it, even Bernie Sanders. What makes them better or worse than each other >????

your arguments make no sense.

Got to hand it to Pete Buttigieg. He's made a big splash. He learned to do 3 things to win Democrat primary.
  • Bash Trump and his Supporters on the TeeVee. NBC was more than willing to provide platform for this.
  • Bring God into it. He basically said that God told him to love the Illegal Alien who breaks laws to come into the USA. (imagine the complete hysteria when Trump says God)
  • Get high profile Democrat from the African American community to support him. No winning the SC Democrat primary without African Americans support.
I said months ago in the elections forum, that he'd be a force to be reckoned with. He's going to wipe the floor with the more crazed Democrats running for the nomination.
