Believe it or not, betting markets now rate Pete Buttigieg, the 37-year-old mayor of South Bend, Ind., in the top-tier of Democratic presidential candidates.
He has about a 10% chance of winning the party’s nomination—right behind Joe Biden, and well ahead of Sens. Elizabeth Warren, Cory Booker and Amy Klobuchar. His rise is a testament to changing American politics as well as his skill in packaging progressive policies and methods in a smooth, moderate persona.
What's the matter, Wall Street? Is the Big Bad (Progressive) Wolf coming to blow your house down? PeteButtigieg must have them really scared. 'Don't follow him, less-than-nazi Wall Streeters, he's a Progressive! And a Millennial! and Gay! and...and...and...'
Oh my God, Pete B. is partisan. Not like virtually every Republican in the House and Senate.
Haha I love it. For the WSJ to be attacking PeteButtigieg they must see him as a threat.
Classic. Try to frame moderate as 'aggressively partisan'. Yeah that's never been done before. 🙄
Wolf in sheeps clothing - he is just another socialist.
Then there are folks who talk about the country and god and use that as a cover to make lots of money using shady methods.
BREAKING: Far right-wing publication cries 'Partisanship!'.
JFC, if Joe Lieberman ran as a Democrat he'd be labeled a communist at this point
I think it’s telling that this tiresome book report on PeteButtigieg’s media appearances includes a completely random broadside against KamalaHarris. But this is the same Opinion desk that told Trump to pardon everyone last fall. 😂
He’s already said multiple times in a myriad of interviews that he’s a progressive. So.. nice try?
The number and tenor of responses to this post say it all.
J
How do you “ repeal” a Supreme Court decision🙄?
This headline is aggressively partisan.
Look at this The Wall Street Journal is getting scared of Mayor Pete!!! The bullshit story factory is now working overtime. Shaking Rupert?
He is not fit to be President of the USA.
Good.
Buck dancing and hoping to it for Trump huh?
Conservatives getting heartburn.
'moderate' just seems aggressively partisan to aggressive partisans.
The concern trolls from the WSJ editorial page. Aggressively partisan... oh my, let me sit down a moment to catch my breath. Because Republican candidates like Cruz, Trump, and Rubio are a Hallmark card of sweetness and light.
He's got a shot? WSJ opinion writers need to start tearing him down.
Of course ....he is democRat.....plus confused on his sex....
There is nothing moderate about democrats. Bill Clinton was last one and it is unlikely they are coming back.This is now party of white shame.. If you are white and work 70 hour weeks to get by and missing 8 teeth.join them.. They will tell you more about your 'White privilage
We are talking about a MAYOR of an insignificant town. The only reason that it has any relevance this because Notre Dame is located there. The liberal media is building him up as a viable candidate.
There is nothing moderate about democrats. Bill Clinton was last one and it is unlikely they are coming back.This is now the party of white shame.. If you are white and work 70 hour weeks to get by but still feel guilty, join them,,, They are sure to make you feel even worse!
You bet his Daddy was a communist!
Yes. He's made no secret that he isn't a Nazi, unlike the candidates the WSJ editorial board favors.
All you have to do is follow him on Twitter to realize he is the Barack Obama of 2020!
Good. Right now we need aggressively partisan to counter the Repubs current aggressively mean, disgusting, and dangerous to life on earth.
So you don't want someone who only represents part of the country—but from the left? Why not? Scared of clean air?
You guys sound genuinely scared of this guy. PeteForAmerica
Opinion: Donald Trump may sound like a moron. Because he is. Seriously, the idiot thinks windmills cause cancer, that Finland rakes their forest and that solar power doesn’t work if the sun isn’t out.
Ha! Who wants to break it to the Wall Street Journal who the current president is?
He claims to be homosexual. What more do you need to know?
RT : Opinion: Mayor Pete Buttigieg may sound moderate, but his vision is aggressively ...
So he says one thing and does another. Yeah he is a Democrat.
Leftist
Bull
Who cares if he's moderate... if he would speak the truth then I would vote for him.
You’ve made it as a national Dem candidate when the targets you. Nice job PeteButtigieg
Lol conservatives getting scared of Mayor Pete
Counterpoint: PeteButtigieg sounds like a moderate because he supports common-sense policies with broad bipartisan support.
Thanks for the good-faith advice, bootlickers
You're a joke of a news organization
😂
He is a groveling fool just like the rest..' I didn't know it was offensive in that context. I will never use it again..' Grow a pair Petey...
Say the Murdoch run lap dogs
