Mayor Pete!

[abandonconflict]

Is that why his campaign had to lie about hundreds of African Americans who hadn't endorsed it?

“How it was rolled out was not an accurate representation of where I stand,” Thigpen told The Intercept. “I didn’t know about its rolling out. Somebody brought it to my attention, and it was alarming to me, because even though I had had conversations with the campaign, it was clear to me, or at least I thought I made it clear to them, that I was a strong Bernie Sanders supporter — actually co-chair of the state, and I was not seeking to endorse their candidate or the plan. But what I had talked about was potentially giving them a quote of support in continuing the conversation, because I do think it’s a very important conversation.”

Thigpen said he thought rolling out the big list of supporters was intended to show broad support in the black community, despite the reality. The letter was published out of the blue, Thigpen said. “I actually had not circled back to give them a quote, so I was alarmed and very much surprised to see, particularly, the headline as such because I do think it muddies the water, I do think it was a misrepresentation, and it easily could have confused a lot of people as to where I stood. That was, from the very beginning, concerns that I expressed,” he said. Thigpen said he reached out to the Sanders campaign to let them know what had happened, and aides there said they would talk to the Buttigieg campaign."

And why did Bernie do so poorly among minority voters in 2016?

Hey everyone,
So somewhat of a opposing view guy here, I'm actually a trump fan, however I'm very interested in the democratic primary because it seems like they're going through a bit of a transition in values. It's exciting for me because it's very likely whoever has nominated is going to be drastically different from the traditional candidate. It seems like thee younger generations of the country want a change in the system. It's only becoming more and more apparent. So whether it's this election or the next, serious change is coming to this country. I'm all about Andrew Yang. I'd be curious if anyone else here thinks he's a good choice. I like his ideas and his mentality towards solving problem. What do you guys think?

Lol if you think one of these 2020 liberal candidates will be able to take trump head on 1 on 1 you better think again......
It’s gonna be a massacre
(Eating popcorn..... takes a slow long drag off a joint)

Only in the minds of his cult. He has nothing but trolling, everything was either done for him by the Republicans or Nancy. He is a joke. And won't be able to keep his ego in check over a campaign season enough to not screw up all Brad Parscale and Putin's trolling.

Elections have CONSEQUENCES

Right, the Republican party lost HARD in 2018 and got impeached because they didn't just roll over and show their belly like the Republicans had in 2017 and 2018.

Btw, congrats on being the first ever report I have done on this website. Seriously gross.

In your DREAM’s this is more realistic.

I do not believe that they are going through a transition in values. It is just what the "Right" media is trying to sell to get people to vote for Trump or not vote at all to help Trump get re-elected.

The Democrats have (since the post-civil rights era) always been for cleaning the environment, heath care for all of the population, pay equity and increasing the standard of living for the entire nation.

The younger kids just haven't been around to understand that all these ideas they are hearing about for the first time doesn't mean that they have not been around for a long time. And mostly tried by other governments and many lessons have been learned throughout history on how and why they don't work like advertised to the masses.

Yang is too much of a goof, we need someone serious and stable. We need professionals to get elected, and appoint other professionals to do the little we require of our government so that we can go on with our lives without worrying about the next tweet.

Ah South bend. Mishawaka is a bit more upscale. Decent food in some places. Gurley Leep was a crazy name for a car dealership. I've never seen more empty beer bottles along the road on 31 going north out of South bend. I've worked on many South bend machine tools. The company has since passed. So many closed manufacturing plants. Haven't been their in 12 years or so.

So, property rates for black people in South Bend are double that for nation, that is your claim. And you blame Buttigieg for that?

Have you even bothered to look into his policies? His Douglass plan has a lot in it about property ownership.

As for Bernie having a plan. That's extremely laughable. It's even funnier than the notion he has ever accomplished anything, in 30 years in politics. I mean, it would be one thing if you could simply say, nothing changed as a result of his time in office, even if had been office for a couple of terms. Quite often, things do not change so rapidly. Bernie has been in politics 3 decades. NOTHING! Not a damn thing. His 97 trillion dollar economic agenda includes funding for less than half of the healthcare portion, which is only a third of it. I suggest you Google to verify, because your hatred of Buttigieg seems to have you blinded.

I mean, that whole trope of yours about conspiracy theories the day you had a Biden meltdown was hard to watch, much less support. But if Biden of all people, can do so well with black voters, I don't see any kind of bias in that voting block. In fact, I just consider them "voters".

The word I meant was poverty. The poverty rate in South Bend for blacks are double that of the nation. And fuckin yes he is responsible for that. The same way he is responsible for the unbalanced arrest of blacks for weed, but that shit does not affect you so two fucks you can give right. You never answered why he fired Boykin. Seems like he took the word of white officers over his fuckin Black police chief. Please no need to respond back if you have no answer to my questions.

Older Voters Are Getting Worried About Joe Biden

The former vice president's core constituency is considering younger blood: namely, former South Bend mayor Pete Buttigieg.

To say that Buttigieg is "doing poorly with black voters" is kind of bullshit anyway. About 4% of his support comes from black voters. That's about the median. It's right on par with Yang, Bloomberg and even Booker before he dropped. Besides, he has some local support in Indiana.

I'm not dismissing the claim that black voters have summarily rejected him, but I'm definitely skeptical of that.

Enjoy your stay at Fantasy Island. Buttigieg does poorly amongst blacks and will not do any better as the facts come out about him and South Bend. Dont feel bad my first choice of Warren is not doing as well as I like so yes I did have to give EVERYONE a second look, leading me to Bernie.

Lots of churches and salvation army type places. First time I saw a grocery store you couldn't take the carts to your car in the lot. I saw a Teeth are Us store. Bought and sold gold teeth. I've been up dozens of times. Used to be a little Chinese restaurant in downtown SB. My picture was on the wall. They used to take pictures of customers back in the manufacturing boom many years ago. Then hang them on the wall. It was still there 12 years ago. Very run down.

Anyone who can support Trump is ignorant and racist. Grab your mom by the pussy

Vote for Trump= more dead brown skinned kids in concentration camps. Fuck Trump and his “fans”

Collusion isn't even a crime. If it was he'd have been convicted easily, since he did it right on live TV.

Instead, he obstructed justice when an investigation was trying to see how far the collusion went and if it included criminal conspiracy. That investigation netted many arrests, but a sitting president can't be indicted. He's going to face criminal indictement for the obstruction of justice after he gets voted out though.

This this guy will probably kill himself.

He doesn't have the guts to do himself, if he doesn't have the big one or stroke out, he has a date with a judge when he's out. As I've stated, they will have to tie him to his chair and ball gag him in court to get him to STFU, he will also violate any gag order the judge would certainly impose and would end up in jail for a tweeting.

Pence would not pardon him, if he had that understanding with pence he would have taken the pardon and resigned as his only way out. Pence wouldn't dare pardon Trump, who knows what he would be pardoning and there is no pardon for high treason. If Pence would pardon him I believe he would have resigned, I'll bet he's constantly badgering Pence for a pardon too, maybe even trying to cut a deal, I'll pardon you, resign and then you pardon me. If they tried something like that it would only be after losing the election in november. Problem is they were all part of a criminal conspiracy and Trump was a party to it, the pardon could be challenged and struck down by the SCOTUS.

If they lose in november Donald and his minions are in deep shit, anybody who was in the loop on the Ukraine is now in the noose along with Donald. You're in for one Helluva fight until november with extremely desperate people, for many its win or prison and maybe even life or death for guys like MBS. Russia, Saudi and China have all been invited to the party by Trump, he'll need all the help he can get to finish off America. Donald is desperate and is capable of anything in an effort to save his own skin, he won't go quietly even if he loses.

The children of the corn have spoken and choked doing it, I guess we'll have to see what new hampshire and super tuesday say. Looks like Pete for the right and Bernie for the left, so far... but we've yet to count any votes, this time they vote, not caucus.

Your desperation is palpable. Bernie is most likely going to win the NH primary by a large margin, just like he did when the Democratic Party rejected him for as their nominee in 2016. People are rallying to Buttigieg because the don't want Bernie to take away the healthcare plans they like for a promise that has no substance. Bernie is so weak he's threatened by a virtual nobody.

Yup, it doesn't look good for Warren but that doesn't mean I want another divisive authoritarian to take over after Trump. He's simply not a good leader. Very divisive, doesn't work well with others. Like you, I'm going to have to make a second choice if Warren drops out though I'm hoping she at least sticks with the primary long enough to keep Bernie from winning.
