Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg speaks during a campaign stop last week at a dairy company in Londonderry, N.H. By Jennifer Rubin Jennifer Rubin Opinion writer covering politics and policy, foreign and domestic Email Bio Follow Opinion writer April 24 at 3:15 PM With a smile on his boyish face, South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg surgically cut Sen. Bernie Sanders down to size on CNN on Monday evening.
I think of myself as progressive. But I also believe in capitalism, but it has to be democratic capitalism. In that answer, Buttigieg aligned himself with the mainstream view that capitalism is a successful economic system, but he also explained the tension between capitalism and democratic values — all while making the point that Sanders’s label is a significant unforced error.
The New York Times reports, “Mr. Buttigieg is more willing to confront other candidates, and his party more broadly, in ways that could resonate with moderate Democrats and perhaps some of the independents who can vote in either primary here.” But he does so without animus and while preserving his progressive bona fides:
from being good?
This lady only writes Sanders smear pieces. It is pathetic. Where’s the centrist civility we have to hear so much about?
Please save us from progress!
OPINION; MayoPete might save the elites money from Bernie Sanders.
Which would be good news for the corporate overlords and bad news for the rest of us.
The second most successful political party - which lost 1000+ seats, Congress and POTUS to a bunch of certified lunatics - needs to be saved from a guy offering policies an overwhelming percentage of Americans want.
Who will save us from The Washington Post?🤔
He’s “troubled” that Chelsea Manning isn’t currently being tortured for exposing truly shocking war crimes. He voiced strong support for the Likud government’s settlement programs and blames the Palestinians for the occupation. I’m also gay, but hard pass on Buttigieg.

The level of concern trolling is off the charts
Yes, because why would you want a viable, actually left wing party when you can have a useless, losing, center right party that lives off of rhetoric and giving 90% to Republicans?
Jeff Bezos’ wishful thinking, articulated by his faithful maid Jennifer Rubin
Bezos-spew. Billionaires are freaking out at the thought middle class federal taxes will be spent on the middle class. Those taxes are for CORPORATE WELFARE.
Every word of this was total and complete nonsense. Literally just another hit piece by the same hack:
Not a chance! And DNC really needs to think again, not only about those kinds of headlines, but about their intention to, once again, subvert democracy!
Bernie2020 BernieSanders2020
Opinion: Sanders might save the Democratic Party from pro-corporate people like Biden and Buttigieg & in turn save the American people from impending doom.
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck Washington Post
You know what they say about opinions...
No way, I like Bernie over Pete, however I'm neutral and full blown Tulsi Gabbard 2020 Tulsi2020
Says conservative Jennifer Rubin 🤦♀️ TryAgain
If the Democratic party needs to be saved from Sanders, perhaps it just needs to cease to exist?! Or, how about y'all who hate Bernie2020 so much join the Republican party, where you really belong, and let us take the Democratic Party back to its FDR days?! FeelTheBern DNC !!!
PirateBootyBag isn't going to save anyone who can't pay him enough.
Today must be Opposite Day.
You misspelled 'screwing the Democrats out of' Sanders.
Already cancelled my subscription to NYT. Guess WaPo is next.
Sanders is the only hope the democrats have if they hope to beat Trump. Buttigieg or Biden would be a disaster. Beyond beating Trump, who wants to support more mainstream, Wall Street, neoliberal policy pushing Clinton-like democrats. We want medicare for all and a new deal.
Yeah, keep telling yourself that. 🙄
Let us be very clear very few corporations or organizations want BernieSanders to win, what the don't realize is it might be more dangerous if he loses.
You misspelled gifting the election to Trump.
And who will save the citizens from Buttigieg?
LOL! 😁
Man y'alls opinions are for 💩
Save? The Washington Post can go fuck itself. FuckTheWashingtonPost NeverPete
Um pass on that thanks
NeverPete NeverBiden We Will Only Vote for BernieSanders and TulsiGabbard Bernie2020 Tulsi2020 BernieTulsi2020
LMFIAO!!! 😂😂😂 YOU MEAN HE MIGHT SAVE realDonaldTrump FROM SANDERS CAUSE THE DNC WON'T WIN WITHOUT BernieSanders J'S 💁
SenSanders is trying to save the party from itself
Not a chance. And if he somehow does, he delivers 4 more years of Trump.
Let me see... Bezos buys Washington Post. Bernie protests Bezos' Amazon to give his workers a living wage. Washington Post trashes Bernie. Hmmmm. Should we trust this newspaper? I don't think so.
In the meantime, they can't save themselves from themselves.
And then Pete's not gonna beat Trump. What a great plan.
You're referring to the neoliberal corporate corrupted wing of the Democratic party. Since the Washington Post is owned and controlled by an oligarch, it makes sense you wrote yet another hit piece on Bernie.
You mean, DOOM the Democratic party, cuz tons will leave forever, why stay, when working people are not represented
…for the elites
Did Jeff write this one?
I'm gonna say another jen Rubin conservative opinion on the liberal party
The Washington Post pays Jennifer Rubin good money to do nothing but write op eds bashing Bernie Sanders. Fortunately I decided their op ed page is stupid in 2016 and no longer care what they want me to think. 👍🏻
Hahahahahahahahahaha The party needs to be saved from corporate Democrats like Mayor Pete.
The Washington Post MIGHT be there most awesome newspaper. it isn't though
BernieSanders will save the populace from TheDemocrats, thank Goddess! OrganizingWithBernie
No policy Pete? We’re not worried about him
Shocking, coming from a shit-rag “publication” which ran 16 Bernie hit-pieces within a 24 hour span. I’m sure it has nothing to do w/ the fact that you’re owned by Bezos, who fears Bernie so damn badly, he gave his employees $15 an hr just bc Bernie used “mean words” about him🔥
love to save the party and lose more elections
As soon as I saw this opinion article....I said to myself it has to be Rubin yet again. Tadaaaa!
Faaaart
Who's democratic party, the corporations and rich, or the working class voters? Because Sleazy Mr. Rodgers Buttigieg sure isn't going to do many favor to the average American. He is basically Trump Light with his 'I don't need specifics' platform.
just like having an aneurysm burst will save you from a hangover and self-reflection
He could also save Democrats from winning the election again
What specific policy proposal from Buttigieg led you to arrive at this conclusion?
I don’t see that happening, but then again..they screwed Bernie over in 2016 for Hillary...history has a way of repeating itself for TheDemocrats
Let them destroy each other. In the end they will still lose.
No thanks
👎🏻
Pete seems like a likable guy but there's no way we can afford to put another president in office with no Washington experience, he's the mayor of a medium town, he should run again after being a rep, govnr or senator. He just needs more experience before this big of a job
From Extreme Socialism to Gay Socialism. Let’s kill more babies . Let’s worry about babies coming across the so called border. Let’s support benefits for illegals. Benefits, residence for votes. Let’s support Islam over Christianity . All Buttishit !
They are both lossers
Fuck the Washington post! So sick of their bashing Sanders. The Democratic Party needs to be saved from themselves. They are 100% to blame for Trump getting elected.
Who is going to save Democrats from the continuous “advice” we get from disaffected Republicans!? Of course Rubin prefers the more centrist candidates—she’s a conservative! Maybe she should be worrying about how to save her own party instead of concern trolling against Sanders.
Biden and Bernie and all the rest , move over , there is a great candidate and his name is Pete Buttigieg. Great person , smart , decisive, charming , patriot and so much more . Go Pete !
Opinion: Buttigieg might save the Corporate controllers of the Democratic Party from Senator Sanders. FTFY
we don’t want saving. i think you mean save billionaires from Sanders.
Sanders is trying to save the American people
Well that is so like ur opinion
PLEASE GOD!
Or maybe an actual QUALIFIED, INTELLIGENT, PREPARED CANDIDATE such as ewarren or KamalaHarris would do the same thing, but better.
Your opinion is objectively wrong
What? With his Goop money?
lmfao
Yeah, just use the same losing strategy as last time...that really works...
He doesn't need to. Bernie will crazy talk his own way down the tubes all by himself. 183,000 convicted murderers should vote. 164,000 convicted rapists should vote. Add the 400+ in the SUPERMAX prison should vote. Does he get to keep the campaign money he doesn't spend?
Awesome
Jennifer Rubin: columnist of the working people, champion of the Democratic Party. Weird how all of a sudden these embarrassed conservatives want to take over. FIX YOUR OWN PARTY FIRST, GOP.
You DO realize you're revealing, in the most obvious and public fashion, what is supposed to be hidden, right? We already knew you were trying to help the DNC rig the primary against Bernie...but you're at least supposed to pretend you're being objective. yellowjournalism
Funny 😄
Bernie Sanders will save us from the Democratic Party. FIFY
“Leading from the middle” WaPo. Don't want to guess but I bet JRubinBlogger wrote this. Not interested in clicking the link.
All this does is make it so ill never vote for pete and want to vote for sanders more
Nah. We're cool with Sanders. Though I'm not thrilled with voting for him. Much prefer to see Warren. I prefer someone who has plans on how to fix the issues and how to pay for them.
OpenToListen No YANG 2020
There’s the DNC machine again, trampling on Sanders for bringing fresh good ideas and threatening their pocketbooks
Oh we can only hope!!!!
Lol what?
You are right just look to all the successes he’s had as Mayor...🙄
We don’t need saving from Sanders.
Hey guys let’s talk about the white men running for president some more, they’re not getting enough press
I hope someone does!
By electing Donald Trump Fixed it for you
He should concentrate on saving his own city first; worry about saving the Democrat party later.
One can hope.
Opinion: neoliberal trash won’t save us from anything 🤷🏻♀️
This guy is a joke
Opinion: Washington Post Blows
He is a no substance christian basher, and apologized for being gay, what joke he is
Nah sneakypete was put there on purpose. He’s nothing more than a mega donors lackey.
Phew, almost won an election
😂😂 Fake progressive. Nope.
How stupid do you have to be to believe that centrists want to save anything but the status quo. We need progressive change or the elite will wipe us out.
The Democratic party doesn't want to save itself from anything. With Hillary Clinton in charge, all they care about is Corporate money and endless Wars.
If Sanders is unelectable, why is mainstream news media so afraid of his candidacy? NotMeUs Bernie2020
Then who will save it from him? And on and on ..........?
Yes, because another milksop do-nothing centrist is exactly what we need to confront climate change and the economic disaster that is our country...
Corrected: BernieSanders might save the Democratic Party from itself. cc: JRubinBlogger
'Save'
Bad opinion
I hope so!! He is the only candidate for whom I would vote.
.JoeBiden 4President!! PeteButtigieg 4VP!!!
BS
Trump will beat ALL 95 democrat candidates trying to unseat him...I'll say it early.... Congrats realDonaldTrump on your RE-ELECTION VICTORY!!
Sanders, AOC, warren. But he is in Biden lane.
A Republican wants a center right Democrat to 'save the party.' Got it.
Dems are soooo desperate. LOL
Wow, that headlines assumes a lot. At an age of 62 yrs old, I can say that the issues of Sanders are new, fresh and very appreciated.
Hopefully!
PeteButtigieg Booty Judge will crash and burn just as hard as Biden. Can’t wait!!😂😂😂😂😂
Wrong. Sanders (and SenWarren - I'm happy w/ either/or POTUS/VP ticket order) is the last chance the Dems have to save themselves.
Sanders had his shot and when he didn’t get the nomination a piece of his supporters who “couldn’t bring themselves to vote for Hillary”, helped elect GRIFTER 45.
Where are the headlines proclaiming the Democrat Party civil war?
Yes, please save us from the incredibly hardworking, consistent, honest and most popular candidate who WILL beat Trump! 🙄
Pete may well be a good person. Saving the party is a stretch and unfair.
Next
He has no policy.
Nope, wrong skin color and wrong gender for the Leftists...
This nomination is a mistake. Faith voters like myself will pause when considering that the first First Man in the office won’t be because we have the first female President. This nomination will fracture the party, guaranteeing a Trump 2nd term. Next
Pete is a snakeoil salesman with no policies. Bernie too old. Andrew Yang is the new Bernie 2.0. He is the one.
Sanders is popular, but apparently we don’t want the most popular choice for prez, we get who the talking heads and the establishment want...🤦🏽♀️
mstepczyk How do you figure that when Pete is BS's biggest fan!!! Come on! He's Sanders' mini me
Please, God. Mayor Pete may just be the guy to do it.
It’s about the people’s will not what corporate media wants. Bezos pay your taxes!!!
'Saved' from Sanders? WtF kinda bullshit is this? My conservative leaning relative ls told me at Easter dinner that if Sanders were to win the nomination, they would vote for him because of how genuine Bernie is. They also love his plan to raise taxes on corporations and rich ppl
NO !
That's what I hoped -but he's got to do better on crim justice reform, housing inequity, racial Justice issues. He's an articulate, likable Midwestern guy. But if we're admiring nice eloquent ppl w-out advocating for reform we're making v imp election into personality contest.
Save? Your opinion sounds tainted ..
Pete doesn’t have any policies.
Let’s hope so. I am a Dem, but Sanders gives me the hebejebees, and I do not want him in the oval. Buttigieg is great. He’s fresh & smart.
Why? Pete is closer to Trump on the political spectrum.
Buttigieg is not a flash in the pan or flavor of the month. Can he win the nomination? Can he beat trump? Time will tell. But, he is a breath of fresh air from Washington pols and he’s a Hoosier from the home of ND-the Fighting Irish. GoPete.
Opinion: there is something deeply deeply wrong with whoever wrote this op-ed.
I love Pete! He is brilliant, knowledgable, and calm headed......
😂😂😂😂😂
I like this guy PeteButtigieg .....but what's so wrong with BernieSanders? Unless something monumentally bad happens he's my candidate.
I love this guy! Young, smart and full of new ideas for problem solving USA.
Does the Democratic Party need saving from Sen. Sanders?
You mean 'sabotage,' not 'save.' The way Hillary saved us from Bernie in 2016 ...
And the Presidency for Trump.
Not
The nation needs to be saved from Sanders self absorbed lunacy that he convinced his followers to follow.
Or not.
You can keep trying to shove Mayo Pete down our throats, but we don’t want him. NeverPete ReleaseTheTapes NotMeUs
Thanks conservative columnist. Should Mitt Romney be his running mate? Who should be in his cabinet, Megan McCain?
Fuck Buttigieg. We are trying to save the Democratic Party from the corporate establishment and he is one of them
Gross
This guy is an even further reach than the fleeing Felon Beto
Hahahaha no one can save the Democrat party from the Democrat party.... the left is utterly doomed in 2020
Meh
Folks, for a while people have said Democrats need young leadership. Guess what else, Millennials and Gen. Z are the future of the party and the country. Not only is PeteButtigieg young, you get sense he’s a Uniter. The feel is he’s a once in a generation candidate. ILikePete
Lets hope so! But he won’t win or even com close!
Nope
❤️❤️❤️
Hell give it to Biden
Beto!
I sure hope not. Mayor Pete is right wing. We need to move away from that.
mehdirhasan ggreenwald briebriejoy davidsirota
Um nope.
He's A Republican
I think Republicans fear Sanders,the hoarding billionaires running GOP can't stand the thought of having to pay better trained workforce,and they definitely hate masses having decent healthcare they want for their selves
My God. How blatantly biased can you possibly be. No wonder the msm is not trusted.
Lol wut
Good article. Let’s hope so. Pete is extremely impressive. Clearly, as the responses are filled with Bernie or bust fanatics, he’s the most toxic of all the candidates. He’s the other side of the trump coin. Memes & Villains. Sad really. AnyDemButBernie
Bernie Bros must absolutely hate this piece.
Hey Bezos, are you scared bro? Bernie2020
I think we need to be saved from Pete tbh. As a gay man, I can’t believe the first openly gay male candidate to run for president is this lobbyist owned corporate shill.
In the real world, Sanders saved the Democrats from the establishment. His push in 2016 and again this year will be responsible for an entire generation of voters who awoke to politics because of Bernie. Even if he loses, the Democrats owe him a debt of gratitude.
Good GOD, stop obsessing about both of these men. Neither of them deserves this much coverage
Don't count on it!
Said the corrupt corporate Democrats.
We love you Mayor Pete. Come to California often. Palm Springs will love you. Will all love you
Counter-opinion:
This lobby whore is not getting my vote
Another hit piece huh. Well I dont need another bought and payed for shill so thanks no thanks on buttigieg.
We can only hope Krusty Sanders just goes away.
Are you seriously suggesting a candidate that takes the most money from lobbyists is the future of the Democratic Party? Do better JRubinBlogger
WP and its overlord Jeff Bezos wouldn't like his billions of dollars stored in the Cayman Islands to be taken back into the country and taxed. I understand, but the veil is lifted, the new generation can read through the propaganda, and we can see why you attack Bernie.
He won’t 😩🤣
Go away
😂😂😂😂 neither can do it.
We don’t need saving from Sanders. We need the status quo to stop being so status quo!
No thanks..... Bernie2020
Jeff Bezos, owner of the Post, regards Bernie Sanders as his enemy. And writers for the Post are cooperating.
With a bench of candidates this deep, this is a joke, right JRubinBlogger ?!
We don’t need to be saved from Sanders. We need to be saved from stupid commentary like this.
I like Buttigieg. This headline is still shit.
you guys hated Hilary in 2016 and gave Trump unquestioned non-stop coverage. Now you want us to listen to you as to who to vote for in 2020 Dem Primary?
Who?
With what policies? And why do you want racist Mayor Pete to save the Democratic Party over Bernie Sanders?
Oh please.
Reminder: Bernie voted against Russian Sanctions.
Sanders isnt a Democrat and should not be allowed to run as one He wants to be the party's rep but wont join That's just bullshit Disqualifying for me
Letting a right-leaning pundit write an article about any Democratic candidate without telling the public is tantamount to deceptive journalism at best. I'm not saying don't print them, but at least tell people who is writing the articles and why.
Opinion: Washington Post writers live in a D.C. bubble and don’t know shit about policies...just like Mayor Pete
I can absolutely guarantee you that either way he will not.
Ok time to drop my WaPo subscription.
And in doing so, save the Democratic Party from winning in 2020.
Lmfaoo
Russian Bot!!!!
God I hope so!
Yeah, can't have the old fart handing the party off to the riffraff, can we?
Are these Senators being paid while campaigning? Were they voted for this, or to work legislating? Why don’t they campaign on their weekends?
No
Since this is an opinion piece I'm going to give you some benefit of the doubt, but in the future, I wish you would check how biased an opinion piece is before printing it.
I hope so .. no Fan of Bernie
What crap.
Bernie may have done himself in with his stance on voting while incarcerated
I will vote against t but I would love to vote for a positive candidate! His supporters seem very cult like!
Meanwhile ewarren has the best parts of Bernie's liberal populism along with the actual policy on how to make it happen and the voting record to show she stands for her values.
I just want trump to lose. Please for the love of God
Almost anyone can except Warren.
No one can save the Democratic Party
Oh plz u ppl & yr sensational bits Stop dividing the Dems At the end of the day We are all in sync We need to vite out the corrupt complict GOP & Trump
Okay, gotta admit I disagree. Bernie Sanders is doing the democrats a favor by showing them the path forward. The Democratic Party as we know it wasn’t always on the right side of the civil rights issues, let alone actually being progressives
Another white male savior will save us from a white male savior. 🙄
Oh FFS.
This is an incredibly profound insight. I would be honored to have someone of this intellect being my president.
God yes please save us for the non democrat Sanders
But we can’t know for sure yet because he has no policy positions
Him and his husband
I expect the and others to spread negative opposition research on each of the democraticCandidates2020. I encourage all 2020 candidates to NOT help sell subscriptions based on that kind of negative reporting. Stay strong and United Indivisible Americans.
Opinion: The owner of my publication doesn't want his taxes raised so he paid me to carry water for him
What complete nonsense.
Sanders doesn’t have a shot
Somebody has to, please.🤞🏻
He is so FUCKING handsome! I told my husband Dale he is the one man I 'might' cheat with! 🏳️🌈🇺🇲👙maga Trump2020
Is WAPO deaf, dumb and blind? Buttgig, has trashed his city and WAPO thinks he will win the nomination? 😂😂😂😂😂
Let’s hope so.
Yes yes yes!
Mayor Pete is correct. Labeling yourself 'democratic socialist' is a mistake. It's a political liability. Bernie frequently refers to the policies of European nations led by SOCIAL DEMOCRATS who unequivocally state that their societies are capitalist, not socialist.
Are you serious? Buttigieg is moving to the bottom of my list even below Biden.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Mayor Pete is smart and energetic, and poised. But we'll need to know where he stands on: Glass-Steagall Carried interest prosecuting torturers SinglePayer payday lenders too-big-to-fail 'trust me I'm smart' won't cut it.
Please please please
It’s like taking a time-machine back to 2015-16! The NYT and Wash Post shirting the proverbial bed, getting everything wrong...again.
Bernie for President
😂😂😂
*bangs head against the wall*
I like Mayor Pete. I’ll vote for whoever wins the nomination though...
Jeff Bezos is trash
Any of the Democrats running for president would be better than Trump… But I would prefer to see Senator Warren. I think someone husband tried, tested, and true is what America needs.
At the end of the day, polling will tell us which one has a better chance for 2020. Bernie might be to old, Biden to much bagage, Pete....well, the votes to go after might be out of reach if he is 'the one' IMO.
You guys aren't even trying to hide it anymore huh? PeteButtigieg is the easiest to purchase, so he's your boy.
👊🇺🇸
Wow, shocked a WSJ Republican likes the Young Gay Republican candidate.
you guys are funny
Sanders might save Democratic Party from Buttigieg - who, btw, has no platform.
I agree
Certainly some hot takes in here. Hopefully all candidates put forward plans that the country can take. It's and pieces of to move forward
Ha ha ha.
Love him!
by taking money from Washington lobbyists? gtfo
The President stays for another 4 years then
What gremlin was this written by?
The American nation frankly needs to be saved by the ideals of BernieSanders
Who's going to save the Democratic Party from itself, then?
You spelled Warren wrong.
He will be gone by January. It’s Biden and Sanders. That’s it.
The establishment continues to criticize Bernie stating “he’s not electable, America will never elect a Socialist.” Forgetting 2 years ago America elected a reality show host who’s “pathological liar,” who “embarrasses” the United States daily. Thanks to establishment’s candidate
Bootlicker
Goodness. Seems the Washington Post is to endorsing Buttigieg. Is that how it’s done?
Untrue!
I know. I’m just a Canadian but I had enough of Sanders your last go around. In our country he would be in the NDP party. God help us if they ever get to govern.
Buttiplug is a marxist........ Demtard is an affliction on America
.... And doom the country
So, newspaper owned by rich white guy has op-Ed by privileged white chick conservative writer says that young white guy will save the Dems from old white guy. Do y’all even hear yourselves? Y’all srsly act like there are no candidates other than fucking white men!
What's wrong with Democrats that Sanders is even a threat?
Mayor Pete has his own issues
Democracy isn't dying in darkness; you're murdering it in broad daylight.
That’s fabulouth!
Nice try wapo...Bernie 2020 ✌
Yaaaaay! ❤️🇺🇸 He’s awesome!
Only this dolt is just as radical....have you listened to the guy? Apparently not...and btw - he is a white guy from privilege...kind of disqualifies him, no?
This Con man, and lier, and as the Apostle Paul would say Chief Sinner cannot even save himself. He is a confused, and conflicted Homosexual.
Oh geez, Bernie bros panties are now one big knot.
Any of the other candidates besides Sanders, please....ugh 😑
How will 3rd party Biden play in this threesome?
Sanders is fine. We don't need to be 'saved' from him.
No.
Lol a Marxist saving left wing Socialists.
Never mind the party, Mayor Pete just might save the nation.
Democrat Party are filled with self serving corrupt people who don’t care what happens in America! Butthead is not saving anything! Look at Democrat governed States & cities, especially in California& New York!
You've got to be kidding! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
SpicyTricia Stupid opinion. Pete is a centrist WallStreetDem. Bernie is a true progressive. We need a true progressive in the White House.
There is no “saving” the Democratic Party.
I just wonder how any of these candidates are going to pay for all their ideas
Bernie is not even a Democrat! He’s hijacked the DNC
So who’s paying you to pit democratic candidates against each other and split the base, ?
Biden & Pete ticket
You have got to be kidding me!!
terrible framing from a terrible publication owned by the richest man to ever live
Thanks, but we’re good: Elizabeth WARREN + Kamala HARRIS are throwing down solid policies We don’t need MayoPete’s vague “vision-thingie” that he’s gonna ‘hash out’ later on ... after he’s done playing the piano in Norwegian + knocking down Black people’s houses ElectWomen
We can only hope!!
Haha, Bernie has been ahead of his time for 50 years in terms of policy and vision. He’s the leader of the Democratic Party.
Buttigieg is a wolf in sheep's clothing.
That kid Lol
🙏🏻
Then we'll all definitely bend over and grab our ankles.
Yeah running a centrist against Trump last time worked so well. Let’s get half the country to stay home on Election Day again. Makes sense.
You guys are only backing him because he's gay. Making another victim. There's no platform from Buttigieg.
But who’s going to save the DNC? Hey’re melllllttting!
LOL
So might Biden and a couple others. Putin would consider Bernie a perfectly acceptable alternative to Trump.
Obviously wapo doesn’t like Bernie. That a shame because you are going to be eating a lot of crow if he is elected president.
Oh hey a new entry in the tired “totally good faith conservative advice to the Democratic Party” genre yawn
So replace a crazy socialist with a bigot. Not a good move for the dem party.
My Opinion: Your opinion is trash and your bias is showing
Least wackjob of all the wackjobs. This is your Democrat party these days.
Sincere question? If he becomes Pres. how will he be received by leaders in Middle East where homosexuality is punishable by death?
Sanders isn’t a Democrat. He is a Socialist
This little boy?🤣🤣🤣🤣
it's JRubinBlogger she's obsessed with bernie and a republican...what she says is pretty much worthless
lol, no way
JRubinBlogger Your opinion is irrelevant.
Lol Jen Rubin sure to please neither side of the aisle.
Buttigeig is an industry plant.
'Democratic women candidates will save everyone from an unceasing diet of male egos and misogynistic journalism headlines' There, fixed it for you. The world's had enough of white, male saviours, thank you.
And why does the party need saving from Sanders? Did I miss the memo or Sanders suddenly not good enough? His politics is pretty mainstream if you step outside the media bubble.
Someone give me the gist of this article.
Then who’s going to save US from Buttigieg?
Opinion: The Democrat ran media has begun to campaign for the next Dem Presidential candidate.
“I can have this article to point to when I vote for Trump against Sanders”. Fixed it for you.
I liked this just because of headline, didn’t even need to read. Make sanders go away. I don’t want anyone Russia tried to help last time near this race.
He will not get the Sanders supporters.
The crocked Vs. the communist!
I'm not sure how one bad politician saves us from another one
509ShawnG
Said the wolf to the sheep
but not from Donald Trump!
Couldn’t be happier! Am wholeheartedly for it.
Nothing like centrism to save the country from *checks notes* healthcare and the rich paying their fair share
🙏
save? from whom?
Guess BernieSanders. Is to far left even for the
We'll save the party from Sanders. I don't think he realises how many of us loathe him.
Agreed
Because PeteButtigieg wasn’t Russias backup plan? Because he did not NOT SHOW UP for 3 votes against Russia? The biggest difference is Bernie is bought and sold. PeteButtigieg has nothing to hide and restoring our real American democracy is forefront on his agenda.
Bezos sounds desperate. Has Pete signed a letter in blood promising never to tax the rich?
Let’s hope so🤓
Seriosuly WaPo About to start a boycottWaPo hashtag, these attacks on BernieSanders are repulsive.
I don’t like either Buttigieg or Sanders, but this a perfect example of the kind of short-sighted “analysis” that be will laughed at not too far down the road. Mayor Pete isn’t going to save anybody from anything.
Didn’t even need to look to know who wrote it lol
lmao
Stupid take. Please focus on Warren’s proposals from the past few weeks, lots of good stuff to talk about instead of more dick measuring contests no one is asking about
Loving 'ALL' our presidential Democratic hopefuls in solidarity to defeat racism, sexism and trumpism in 2020
Mayor Pete might make a better VP, and a better point w/regards to VP Mike Pence. Plus, he's young. Sets him up for a two term run in 2028.
I voted for Trump the only, Sanders is the only one that will make me change my vote also Tulsi Gabbard
Sanders might rescue the Democratic Party from the Neoliberal centrist who hijacked it in the '70s and make it a proper people's party again as it was under FDR.
Yay..
Does the Democratic party really want a seventy-eight-year-old man who wants to grants prisoners the right to vote? Totally disconnected !!! The party needs a wind of change. Forget 5he old faces.
Omg, can we PLEASE GET MORE COVERAGE OF WARREN AND NOT ALL THESE WHITE MEN!
You misspelled Kamala Harris and/or Elizabeth Warren
Ouuuuch....
corporate and establishment democrats are absolutely shitting their own pants because people actually want Sanders.
Mr Vanilla might think he’s the 2nd coming but Bernie is the real deal!
Lol no
Repeating the same mistake as was done with Hillary and other right-wing mediocre Democrats, thx to them Donald Trump won. 'But hey, we've got other types of right-wing mediocre Democrats. What could go wrong this time?!'
He’s gay
JRubinBlogger delete this
Because the establishment media is manufacturing support?
I'm saving this one
Nah... Need you to take this opinion back. I like Pete but Nah!!
LOL. Goodluck beating trump with out Bernie. Bernie2020
starts with butt and he likes it
There’s the Wa Post bias we’ve come expect
Ummm, no
What? No.
Are you serious
Biden will when he announces tomorrow
Of course this garbage take is from the conservative Jennifer Rubin
What the hell
Oh, you misspelled Elizabeth Warren and Kamala Harris
you know what I changed my mind. I'm ok with wapo being labeled fake news.
He's too weak to win. Period.
Nope. But Warren will.
Why because Democrats can’t possibly use their brains to vote for a qualified woman?
That's his only role. He's not in to win, just smear Sanders to keep the blood off the hands of the DNC selection.
They both would be horrible nominees and would lose to Trump.
No thank you
I haven't made a choice. may as well wait until we hear from all of the candidates. DemocratVoters are NOT asking for help deciding. I resent a stranger telling me what I think!
Oh Hell no! We want Bernie! We the People are tired of Endless War Machine Corporate Democrats! We want Medicare for all and a Living wage! We want Free College/Vocational Education! Bernie2020
Pity party politics.
Bernie is what we need! He wants to save the planet and democracy, this kind of article and headline CAUSE division. Own your bias WaPo.
I'm glad there is a range in candidates to pick from. Mayor PeteButtigieg is a breath of fresh air. I like Bernie too because he is a political rottweiler. I will vote for who ever eventually wins the Dem nomination.
The Marxists at the WP cheering on their new candidate!
Please Mayor Pete save us from free healthcare, college, and a clean environment you're our only hope
All the more reason he shouldn't win. And probably won't.
What is Buttigieg’s record as mayor in South Bend? What has he done there to make a difference in crime rates? Is his municipality thriving? Being an über educated white homosexual liberal is not enough of a platform. Oh wait for the left I suppose it is. ElitismStrikesAgain
How so. They all have the same message oh except that he’s gay. To be a liberal candidate you have to be black a woman or gay
Butt Lick shaves Slanders NEXT ON NUTFLIX; WARned Y(a) peckerhead Don’t make me keep dooing this!
🤣🤣🤣 On top of being pitiful smear artists, your premise here is beyond ridiculous. ZERO Bernie voters would ever vote for that young Republican Pete
I’m never voting for another hypermarketed war hawk and will work to make sure any of them lose in the general if they win the democratic nom
JRubinBlogger give up writing about politics.
Yeah ok
Jennifer Rubin laying the groundwork for excusing her future vote for Trump
Can the opine on his accomplishments as a Mayor?
It appears that the is picking the DemocraticParty presidential nominee. Why?
So, I read this and I can say, with confidence, that's it's total shit. Thanks.
But first he need to quit hating on VP Pence, who wishes him no ill will.
MAP like Beto
Opinion: Buttigieg might save the Democratic Party from itself.
Why would anyone give a shit what JRubinBlogger thinks is best for the democratic party? I mean, that's insane.
The party needs to be saved from itself. Buttigieg won't be the one to do it.
Would it kill you folks to put the name of the columnist in the tweet?
We pray 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Buttigieg would probably be a Republican if it weren't for guys like Pence and Franklin Graham but sure, he could probably save the Democrats from straying too far from milquetoast centrism
👌
Sanders needs to make way.
Articles like this make it clear that the establishment is anti-Sanders. But is the establishment secretly in the tank for Trump?
I didn’t even have to click this to know it was written by JRubinBlogger. Seriously, quit the Sanders obsession.
Another over-played Democrat thang! Won't hear his name after November!
God please do
Um, nope.
🙄
lol imagine believing that it’s Sanders that the party needs to be saved from
How much longer are y’all going to sanction these garbage attack’s in bernie by Jennifer Rubin, a republican? This is getting ridiculous
He's 37...looks like he's in high school...and his policies are not all that much different than the other socialists.
🤞🏼
ButtyGag
Lol how he doesn’t have one policy proposal
MayoPete here is gonna disappear in a few months. Dude still doesn't have any policies. Nice try WP. Try again.
Bernie!!
Boo!!! Stop trying to push this dude further then he would go if he naturally ran his course.
Jennifer Rubin is frothing at the mouth
This is literally written by a conservative. Tells you all you need to know about Sneaky Pete.
God I hope so
Doubtful
Nope
This is definitely an article written in good faith
What does he bring to the table that no one else does?
yeah... nah.
Absofuckinglutely
maybe stop having the conservatives write about the democrats?
Lol lol. They are all QUACKS !!
He doesn't even have a policy page. You guys are trash.
Does the Democratic party need to be saved from Sanders? Also, Sanders shouldn't call himself a socialist... He's not. Neither is AOC.
They are both outliers
this opinion stinks
