Today’s headlines point to the fact that the race for the Democratic nomination is rapidly turning into a two person race. Mark the time: I’m calling it – Bernie v Mayor Pete.
The good news is that both potential nominees are great. With Trump’s numbers slumping, the only things that can trip Democrats up this year are zealots who cannot brook their candidate coming in second.
In related news, Buttigieg expanded on his remarks yesterday. I don’t think any honest Bernie supporter can take offense to this simple statement of fact below.
“My point is that people have been motivated to want to blow up the establishment. And Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump represent radically different ways of doing that,” Buttigieg, a Democratic presidential candidate, told NBC News’s Josh Lederman.
“But I think part of how each of them was able to get some appeal was by speaking to the frustration that so many Americans have with anything perceived as the establishment, anything seen as being committed to the political and economic systems that have been prevailing really for my entire life,” the 37-year-old mayor added.
