African Americans are needed to lead the way.....as usual.

Joe’s not my first choice (neither is Bernie) but I’m voting for the Democratic nominee in November.

3 ( +7 / -4 )

African Americans are needed to lead the way.....as usual.

Yes, but Biden won’t be the nominee and Sanders doesn’t hit Blacks well as Biden does. So that means a lot of liberal Blacks will be staying home in November.

-2 ( +5 / -7 )

Bye bye.

African Americans are needed to lead the way.....as usual.

Yeah, the white, Hispanic and Asian Americans are all useless, lol.

"I don't go to rich people's homes like Joe Biden," Sanders said on CBS's "Face the Nation."

What a hypocrite. He has three homes combined worth $1,300,000: in Burlington, Washington DC and Vermont.

He's worth at least $2.5 million! Here's a breakdown: $1,300,000 real estate + $700,000 government pension + $500,000 cash/investments. (Of course he won't admit it.)

I thought socialists weren't supposed to be wealthy. At least Trump doesn't deny he's rich.

What a hypocrite.

"We cannot have moah billionaihs in this country! Millionaihs get a pass though, because I happen to be one!" -Bernie Sanders

So what happens if I'm worth $900 million? Is that OK in Bernieland? ;)

-4 ( +2 / -6 )

What about Warren? What happened to her promises of reparation for slavery? You'd think that more Blacks would be supporting her.

-3 ( +3 / -6 )

Homophobic blacks won’t vote for a gay candidate, polls have shown this to be the main reason, but of course no other candidate will call them out for it.

-2 ( +3 / -5 )

Biden is my 1st choice today.

Buttigieg would be a great Senator, then VP in the future. Just needs more seasoning.

Sanders needs to get a book deal. Anything except public office. Based on the ideas he puts out, think he needs weekly drug testing.

Yep. A talented man. The pattern in US politics has been intelligent Democrats who can actually speak ( Clinton, Obama ) followed by semi-literate types ( Bush 2, Trump ). Buttigieg’s time will come when there is an appetite for clear sentences.

 ultimately Buttigieg could be a strong contender for president in 2024.

Nah, he'll never be president, he's too fake.

-1 ( +3 / -4 )

Nah, he'll never be president, he's too fake.

Do you think he’d be less fake if he lied more and spoke at the level of someone aged 7?

1 ( +3 / -2 )

Do you think he’d be less fake if he lied more and spoke at the level of someone aged 7?

He'd be less fake if he actually said something instead of just talking like Obama does.

0 ( +3 / -3 )

@serranoNah, he'll never be president, he's too fake.

Do you think he'd do something so fake like hugging the flag? Or would his having been a combat vet make him feel disgusted by fake people doing so.

Would Buttigieg be so fake he'd tell an audience of military personnel he's giving them a big raise while knowing full well he's exaggerating. Given he's a combat vet, I doubt it.

Would he be so fake he'd go on national TV and say no Americans were harmed in the Iran shelling.

-1 ( +2 / -3 )

Do you think Buttigieg will ever admit he's simply not qualified to be president of the United States?

He won't, he's too fake.

-1 ( +2 / -3 )

He'd be less fake if he actually said something instead of just talking like Obama does.

He’s an intelligent centrist. There will be some overlap.

What does not being fake entail? Retweeting conspiracy theories, lying and stupid nicknames? Is that the new standard of being authentic?

0 ( +3 / -3 )

He’s an intelligent centrist.

He supports the Green New Deal. Nothing centrist about that.

One less clown in the circus.

One less clown in the circus.

But Trump, the post-truth era's PT Barnum, remains the ringmaster. How's Trump's healthcare plan coming along?

1 ( +4 / -3 )

He supports the Green New Deal. Nothing centrist about that.

I don’t see that as particularly left wing or right wing. Governments around the world, from the left and the right, are looking towards getting off fossil fuels.

What do you think of deficit spending, piling on the debt and bailing out farmers? Conservative values?

Buttigieg would be a great Senator,

A joke? He was a horrible mayor, but senator.....hmmmm.

then VP in the future.

Hope not.

Just needs more seasoning.

Doubt that will help.

So let’s wait to see what Pete gets for his reward for agreeing to suddenly drop out right before the biggest vote. Not really sure on whose behalf he is dropping out yet. But we will see later.

0 ( +2 / -2 )

@blacklabBut we will see later.

Sniffing out another plot? Trump's deep swamp info, maybe from the Internet Research Agency or one of the other global alt right sources?

-3 ( +1 / -4 )

Nope just common sense that the crooked DNC offered him something

0 ( +2 / -2 )

Buttigieg is a good man. We'll be seeing a lot more of him in the future.
