By Molly Roberts Molly Roberts Editorial writer covering technology and society Email Bio Follow Editorial Writer April 10 at 2:46 PM Beto O’Rourke was supposed to be the hero. So who’s this other guy making all the headlines?
Buttigieg, on the other hand, doesn’t have any kids with his husband, Chasten. If he did, though, Ulysses might be his top pick, “balls” be damned. The Harvard grad, Rhodes scholar and Navy veteran has told interviewers that James Joyce’s modernist masterpiece is “the basis" for his politics. “Every word was pulled out of me,” O’Rourke said of an early speech during his Senate campaign last year against Ted Cruz. “Like, by some greater force.”
In “Ulysses,” on the other hand, complication is key. Joyce both mimics and mocks the heroic narrative — chronicling his protagonist’s travels to the outhouse instead of across wine-dark seas. Odysseus is traded out for Leopold Bloom, who is more or less a loser in the way all of us are more or less losers, and a hero in the way all of us are heroes. The novel aims to capture the fullness of humanity not in the extraordinary, but in the ordinary.
Buttigeig is being pushed by the media, he is getting the Donald Trump treatment. Everyone has had town hall except Beto. People in the media used to tell us what a genius and super policy wonk Paul Ryan was.

Pete's the man, N...2020!
Beto-MEH-nia 😞
Buttigieg is risking the wrath of my arms. I’m the empty suit the useful idiot progressives really want!!!
Peaking 9 months before the first vote and two months before the first debate - that's a gift to Beto and every other candidate.

What do u mean how? You choose whom to create a furor about. We are all working and living. We see and get buzzed by whomever you decide to concoct a buzz about. And therein lay the problem. PeteButtigieg or BetoORourke better known as bonzoorourke It’s ur call lol
Pete’s the best choice for president. By a long shot. He’s got the moxie & smarts to run rings around trump, drive & humility to reunite Americans, knowledge to appoint & heed experts, the stamina it’ll take to get USA back on track. PeteButtigieg 2020

It was the anti religious bigotry wasn’t it? The bigotry? The unfounded vile attacks on a good man who never offered him anything but praise? Was that it?
WaPo is making this up bec Beto is turning out to be just another democratic freak like all the others, so Pete is the latest replacement. Watch & see he’s just another nut case!
Did he really want his mojo?
That’s easy, even a neutral (IND) voter like me can see why! Pete2020 utilizes His brain 🧠 Before he speaks He utilizes His brain 🧠 to actually (Big stretch here...) Analyze & discuss Actual: 🥁 drumroll .... legit ....POLICY issues. Beto2020 ? NotSoMuch
HEY, the most important thing is not who, but that the urgency of the issues for their generation be addressed. Millennial's stand up, come out and take control of your future through participation in the political process.
He's Beto, but with substance
An alternative headline to this is “How Elizabeth Warren is putting out compelling policies every 10 minutes while we compare the figurative dick sizes of second tier men.”

Oh great, what do you get merging Buttigieg with Beto?
He has mojo?
Did he though?
Who
Pete did not steal anything--Beto has raised more and has more charisma and no hidden secret of taking homes from minorities in South Bend for gentrification
The more I hear him talk, the more impressed I am. Calm, intelligent, collaborative...'as far from the current occupant of the White House as you can get.'
Smart, articulate white guy vs. energetic, kinetic white guy. Can't wait for the debates in June.
PeteButtigieg Is a better candidate who knows where he stands and can articulate his stance. That’s how. PeteButtigieg2020
Beto supporters are people who haven’t heard of Pete Buttigieg.
Both of them are are not worth a block of salt!
Marxists don't have mojo. If they do, they stole it from somebody else.
And both are very weird
This is dumb
There's just too much toxic masculinity with the two of these men! 🥴
WHAT? Beto had some mojo and he let Pete take it away from him? Sounds like gladiators!
OMG. Stop already. He does snow removal in a college town.
Lol. The fake news media is trying so hard to make that guy a real candidate
He’s gay, that’s how
Pete can at least put a complete sentence together like an educated adult.
Actually he did not!
We need that meme with the dude checking out the chick in red and the outraged girlfriend
I'll tell how he done it, Pete doesn't climb on people's table. Us simply folk just dont like people climbing on the furniture.
Beto must at once declare he is a Drag Queen and formally run as Beta (along with proper attire). That's his only hope for catching up.
He is gay and that is so great. So Great! I am straight but still... Him being Gay is so great. So, you know I am not a homophobe....so far from it.
I like Pete, but no way I see him beating Trump. It almost seems as if the Republicans are picking their opponent.
Narrator: He didn’t
