Don’t Sleep on Pete Buttigieg
Buttigieg was on Morning Joe this morning. The youtube grab has been added below. Well worth your time to check it out. He is a strong progressive that doesn’t get dragged into the stupid “left/right” mud pit that TV talking heads love so much.
“I don’t think that it is a crazy left-wing idea that we need to do something about climate change on par with the crisis that it is. A Green New Deal isn’t leftist, it’s practical.”
Pass. 38 and running a city the size of Wilmington? Nah. He be a great senate candidate or something tho in Indiana
You poor thing. Your poor impoverished soul. At least listen to the way he talks about the issues. Maybe you can use that as a way to measure your dream candidate’s responses to similar questions about the “left/right” obsessions of the press, climate change, and other topics.
And speaking of your dream candidate, if all you have is trashing Democratic candidates and don’t try to make an affirmative case for your candidate, you will be soon disinvited to comment.
@Dude: Feel that draft? Somebody has opened the Overton Window.
When’s he doing a town hall on CNN? That’s when I’ll know he’s legit.
crap I just saw your comment to the dude.
I like Warren b/c she’s not Hillary

It’s the first time I’ve seen the issues framed that way, and it makes a lot of sense. I don’t necessarily think of him as a serious candidate, but I think running an issue based campaign would provide some novel and beneficial public discourse.
I agree. The race for the nomination is much better with him in it.
Agreed. Voices like his are needed.
The quaint notion of “he’s not qualified because he only ran a small to mid sized city” pretty much went out the window when half of the country felt “he’s qualified because he fired people on TV” was acceptable. Interesting ideas, and with so many candidates, it could be the year for a non-conventional or dark horse candidate to shine.
