South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg, a Democratic candidate for president, in Greenville, S.C., on March 23. By Jennifer Rubin Jennifer Rubin Opinion writer covering politics and policy, foreign and domestic Email Bio Follow Opinion writer April 4 at 10:15 AM One of the most horrifying spectacles of the Trump era is the moral and spiritual sell-out of evangelical Christians who have made a Faustian bargain with President Trump.
Into this vacuum of values and faith steps savvy Democrats such as Sen. Elizabeth Warren and South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg. When I think about where most of Scripture points me, it is toward defending the poor, and the immigrant, and the stranger, and the prisoner, and the outcast, and those who are left behind by the way society works. And what we have now is this exaltation of wealth and power, almost for its own sake, that in my reading of Scripture couldn’t be more contrary to the message of Christianity.
I like Buttigieg, but he's starting to waffle on some issues. We need a HARD commitment to Medicare For All for instance, not a path that eventually might or might not end up there at some undetermined futuristic point on the horizon.
All lives matter

When was your last opinion piece on one of the women running? And I don’t mean an article about how she eats wrong or what her voice sounds like.
Those who preach or follow organised religions are not saints in exact terms of scriptures, if that was true, world would have been a peaceful place! Religious affiliation is show of strength and power and nothing to do with God. Unfortunately the blind faithful don't get it.
Does the media ever do anything besides fawn over white men running & ignore the women?
Pete Buttigieg shows how to Propaganda for Communism. He never criticizes Great Slaughter of Great Leap Forward and Cultural Revolution. Democrats are Communists. TheWasingtonCommunistPost FakeNewsMedia Democrats Communist EnemyOfThePeople
