Pete Buttigieg’s surprising performance in the 2020 Democratic primary has been met with a dose of excitement in the nation’s city halls — along with some humility

And it isn’t just de Blasio. Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti, who considered running for president before demurring earlier this year, has been asked more than once if Buttigieg’s success didn’t make him reconsider his own choices.Sign Up

Perhaps it could have been Garcetti. Or Mitch Landrieu, or Michael Bloomberg, or any number of big-city mayors and former mayors sitting 2020 out. The Democratic primary once appeared likely to present an opening for a politician who could lean on a record of executive experience in a big, heavily Democratic city.

Still, she said, "I think when mayors, when other elected officials look at his actual qualifications, it’s easy to see how they could look in the mirror and say, 'Why not me?'” “It’s definitely a season for cities,” Buttigieg said last year. “And it’s definitely a season for mayors.”

It's a medical fact that Sodomy results in medical complications as an anus ages and prolapses. Blood and stool mixed together are dangerous. Facts matter. Democrats lie.

TrueFactsStated Wait, who wrote that headline? There has not been any primary yet.

Like Beto-baby, this guy is all hype. No substance, no record of having fostered programs & policies that promote the public good.

The 2020 primary has not yet been held. So how can his performance in it be surprising? Your headline is premature.

But was he even that good of a mayor? Cory Booker was the mayor of a far larger (and more challenging) city but he's not getting this hype.

“Unexpected rise”, “Surprising performance” in a primary that hasn’t even happened yet. Don’t fall for this. The media and establishment are 100% behind him. They are the ones elevating him. He’s nothing more than a mouthpiece for the elites.

Mayor Pete..win or lose..has set a fine example for kids today in the absence of character and moral leadership of the POTUS....smart..service..worked hard..good heart...possibilies...

I'll pass on Pete but I do encourage about half the centrists to vote for him

What me worry?

TrueFactsStated It doesn't matter where he is from or how big the town, Listen, listen to what he is saying, it's resonating better.

Polling at 2% or less is shitty regardless of how you look at it. Dude should run for senate if he really wanted to make a difference.

People like Pete.

TrueFactsStated That speech last night. Every American should (& most will likely ) see.

There hasn't been any primaries contested yet.

Humility my butt. He came out and attacked Mike Pence and put down the faith of millions of Americans- unprovoked. MayorPeteIsAJerk

Obama one term senator now this joker ran a small town. Democrats vote for gender, race not experience.

Hype piece. 🙄

Being a mayor is the most direct form of democracy

Only CNN for some reason is promoting this homosexual. Look at there hosts and you know why. It’s a homosexual fest over there.

But he is actually quite the jerk when you listen to him....trying to pick a fight over his gayness with Mike Pence actually made Pence look like an adult and Pete a a jerk....

With “Butt” as the beginning of his last name I’m sure will be met with a dose of excitement!

Sanders, Yang, Gabbard or reluctantly Warren.

Wait, isn't his approval rating at 0%?

Pete who? This guy...

He is a snake. The child of privilege who wants global government and refuses to name any of his policies. He was groomed to be president.

Mayor Pete is a once in a lifetime political talent. He’s the real deal. MayorPete2020 Buttigieg2020

Suprising performance? He hasn't performed. There hasn't been a single vote.

Pete Buttigieg says Donald Trump's white 'identity politics' creating a 'crisis of belonging'Democratic presidential hopeful Pete Buttigieg said Trump is building metaphorical walls with white 'identity politics' that divide America. It only shows that politics and democracy is mythology, the ideas of 'White' belonging has been practiced since Greek and Romans power, so its always an ancient practice that never changed, never improved, never civilised. The idea of 'Black' is not a colour but is a mind Well, I would think not labeling everyone and not trying to divide them would be a pretty good start, but then how would the democrats get votes?

Gavin Newsom said home-state senator Kamala Harris is outperforming her 2020 rivals — but said that Pete Buttigieg “tends to be many people’s second choice — if he’s not already a first' In his dreams..... No. Harris is the establishment Dem you are pushing and Pete is not anyone's second or third choice. Also, most people are leery of who politicians endorse. Gavin Newsome doesn’t seem to be very knowledgable on the topic.
