Titans279 Posted May 13, 2019 Report Share Posted May 13, 2019 (edited) 0% from black voters in that new South Carolina poll... Dude is basically DOA there (obviously there's a lot of time to recover!!). it's crazy how big the race divide is in these polls.

ctm Posted May 13, 2019 Report Share Posted May 13, 2019 It's not just Mayor Pete that fails to attract black voters. Bernie had the same problem last year. As of today, this is essentially a three person race....Biden, Sanders, Harris, possibly Warren. The others can pack their bags and save the money. oldschool, Rolltide, and Justafan 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

begooode Posted May 20, 2019 Report Share Posted May 20, 2019 I haven't watched it yet, but by many accounts Mayor Pete's town hall on FoxNews went well. Interesting to see how this plays out as the kvetching over whether or not to appear on the network potentially further defines some of the Dems. https://www.politico.com/story/2019/05/20/democrats-fox-news-town-halls-1334096 https://www.cnn.com/2019/05/19/politics/pete-buttigieg-fox-news-town-hall/index.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Earl Posted May 20, 2019 Report Share Posted May 20, 2019 Well you can add Buttigieg to list of far left wing nuts. Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg said Friday that things named after President Thomas Jefferson should be renamed because that’s the “right thing to do.” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Btowner Posted May 23, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted May 23, 2019 Interesting interview with Buttigieg. Doesn't appear he's worried about tweets from Trump. “I don’t have a problem standing up to someone who was working on Season 7 of ‘Celebrity Apprentice’ when I was packing my bags for Afghanistan,” Buttigieg said, citing Trump’s previous NBC reality television series. Buttigieg also accused Trump of skirting military service in Vietnam for an illegitimate reason. “I have a pretty dim view of his decision to use his privilege to fake a disability in order to avoid serving in Vietnam,” Buttigieg said. Pressed by Costa, Buttigieg said, “That’s exactly what he did.” https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/buttigieg-its-disgusting-that-trump-is-reportedly-considering-pardoning-soldiers-convicted-of-war-crimes/ar-AABNQuH?ocid=spartanntp IsntLifeFunny, VaTitan, pamo9, and 2 others 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

begooode Posted June 17, 2019 Report Share Posted June 17, 2019 I thought he had stalled a bit, but Pete is pacing this out pretty well Pete Buttigieg raised $7 million for his presidential bid in April, a staggering haul that is likely to put the South Bend, Ind. mayor among the top fundraisers in the Democratic primary field. https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/448854-buttigieg-raised-7-million-in-april-report Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starkiller Posted June 20, 2019 Report Share Posted June 20, 2019 https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/back-home-in-south-bend-buttigieg-faces-his-nightmare/2019/06/19/d29c0b50-92bc-11e9-b58a-a6a9afaa0e3e_story.html?utm_term=.129d5d8456c4 Then came bad news from South Bend, the town Buttigieg leads as mayor. A white police officer had shot and killed a black man early Sunday. Buttigieg canceled several days of campaign events — including an LGBTQ gala in New York — and rushed back to Indiana to “be with the South Bend community,” in the words of a campaign spokesman. Instead of showcasing Buttigieg’s ability to lead through a crisis, however, the shooting is exposing what has long been considered an Achilles’ heel of his candidacy: his frosty relationship with South Bend’s black residents. Since arriving on Sunday, Buttigieg has alienated the family of the dead man, Eric Logan, 54, skipped a vigil at the scene of the shooting, and sought advice from outsiders, including the Rev. Al Sharpton of New York. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctm Posted June 24, 2019 Report Share Posted June 24, 2019 The shooting is just one of the police and racial problems in South Bend. There is a history that dates both of Mayor Pete's terms as mayor. These problems aren't going away anytime soon. The mayor needs to do the right thing and withdraw from the presidential race. Both he and the community will be better off for it.

There have been additional issues throughout his terms, including lack of minority recruitment on the police force, his firing of the black police chief and a negative history by the two officers involved in this shooting. This isn't going away. His first obligation is to South Bend not to his ambition. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starkiller Posted June 24, 2019 Report Share Posted June 24, 2019 It’s looking like Mayor Pete’s campaign is in trouble. The bloom is off the rose. He could still turn things around, but I suspect if he was going to do that he would have done it already. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldschool Posted June 24, 2019 Report Share Posted June 24, 2019 His campaign is at a cross roads. How he responds in the next few days will determine if he stays in the race or not. If he moves against the police he'll alienate law enforcement and whites. If he doesn't he'll alienate minorities. It's a tough situation to be in and most of it has nothing do with him. I'm not sure how you navigate it to be honest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
