“If you can’t keep that situation under control in that pissant town, why on earth are we gonna put you in the presidency?”

of the city’s black police chief just before a local protest of Trayvon Martin’s killing in Florida.

“Mayor Buttigieg might be as close as anyone in this field to having the charisma, the magic, that a presidential candidate needs,” saysa pollster on both of Obama’s successful White House runs. “But he’s flawed because of the police situation in South Bend. To a lot of African Americans, it’s damn near disqualifying, because it’s a front and center issue that’s on the minds of a lot of African American voters and Hispanic voters.

Buttigieg is also gay and married. Attitudes are shifting with the generations in South Carolina, but for many older, churchgoing black voters, Buttigieg’s sexual orientation goes against their religious beliefs. “The personal stuff is a distraction,” saysa South Carolina Democratic political strategist and a CBS News contributor. “It presents a challenge. But the Chinese symbol for crisis is the same one for opportunity.

Buttigieg’s campaign knows it has a significant problem. It will soon be hiring a “director of black engagement” to help boost his efforts, and not just in South Carolina.

“‘Pete [Buttigieg’s] current appeal across demographics isn’t as broad as he’d like it to be. But if he performs in Iowa and New Hampshire, he’s totally viable in South Carolina.’”

I think if Mayor Pete can't win either Bernie Sanders or Elizabeth Warren should pick him as a running mate.

Yeah he fucks guys.

Flawed, huh? Have you seen who’s in office right now, ffs?

I personally don't trust him based on how many superpacs/pacs he's collecting from. I want the person I vote for to be beholden to the voters, not their lobbyists

He’s not anymore “flawed” than the rest of them, particularly Biden. Stop trying to bury ppl before they have some time to breakthrough, jerks.

Nope.

His only real problem with black voters is that he is gay. The homophobia in the black community is so deep that it'll be generations before they widely accept an openly gay candidate.

I’m sorry to hear that Mayor Pete is an amazing person whom I would be happy to see as President or Vice President

I like Pete but he just doesn’t resonate with people of color. Why simmer when you can boil?

FUCK 'charisma' and 'magic'. Talk about POLICY or don't even bother.

According to whom is he this particularly charismatic person? With all respect, I don't see it. More than Harris and Warren? Nope. And is he as qualified as they? Nope.

Wow, who’s ordering the smear job on Pete over at Vanity Fair? It’s not as if he pulled the trigger. Where are the stories about Biden who can’t remember what decade he’s in or Beto who talks with a speech impediment *smh* cancelling my subscription.

If 'he's flawed' is all you've got...

And it, indeed, is a pissant town. Without Notre Dame...NOTHING.

Blacks won't vote for him!
