Buttegieg is surging in early polls in Iowa and New Hampshire. What if things start moving in his favor and he ends up being the nominee? Do you think America is ready to elect a gay POTUS with a husband? If he were to win, do you think red states would accept a gay Democrat POTUS? I'm honestly really nervous about this possibility and what it could mean for the social fabric of our country.
Sure!
That way Dems have a built in defense for any criticism of their policies the same way they did with Obama.
Blacks won't vote for Buttigieg. He has a bad relationship with them in South Bend, IN (he's the mayor) and Blacks are quite strongly anti-gay. 70% of Black voters voted to pass Prop 8 (banning same sex marriage) in California. Hispanics also voted to pass it at a higher percentage than Asians and Whites (the majority of both voted against it).
I really like him a lot. I don't know about others, but things like his being gay are irrelevant to me.
He is really intelligent, has some really good ideas IMO...much more moderate than Bernie or Warren,
has military experience. I would really like to see him be the nominee for President..if not then Vice President.
But, so far he is my favorite of the Democrats running.
That being said, I will probably vote for whoever the Democrats nominate. All I know is Trump is the worst President, hands down in my lifetime (of over 6 decades...yes, including Nixon even)...He needs to go.
A lot of voters are fine with a President who cheated on three wives, bragged about grabbing women, and is listed as a co-conspirator in a federal crime that involved paying a porn star hush money.
I am friends with a surprisingly large number of LGBT people on social media and they all fit the description that I describe. Totally unhinged and fighting for radical leftist causes completely irrelevant to gay rights.
Well, your description is completely wrong. Stop believing the hype! Not every gay person associates themselves with the LGBT community. There are still lots of gay INDIVIDUALS living in the world.

I think standards are fairly flexible these days.
Yes the Kennedy's and Bill Clinton sure lowered the bar when it came to Fidelity.
Even LBJ had a Mistress or 3 over his career.
