Up to this point, Buttigieg also has virtually zero support among minorities and borders on being actively disliked in the black community as far as a Democrat goes.

The black community might feel they are better off with someone like Trump who hates them and who supports white nationalism which will harm them.

Or they could vote for a Democrat other than Buttigieg.

I saw this tweet today and thought of your post here:



Just so you know, if Biden implodes as now looks very possible, it will take about 12 seconds for the Senate and Trump admin investigations of Hunter Biden to be dropped so they can focus their strong commitment to fighting corruption on Jane Sanders.

How so?

In that nobody knew him prior to this election cycle and he's making a big splash as the primaries are getting under way.

I didn't say he's an exact replica of Obama, EA. I was commenting on his relatively quick rise to fame.

I'm sure we could find several more differences if we put our minds to it.

Given the Klobuchar upswing, I'd like to go on record as someone who was perfectly fine to supportive of her as a nominee early on electability grounds, but was genuinely put off by her being a horrible boss. Political oppo hits usually don't dissuade me from my opinions because they rarely concern things that actually matter, but I think this one actually matters. This goes to disposition that is relevant to her character as a leader.

On one level, as someone who also has been a manager highly frustrated by the failings of people working for me, in the abstract I find the things she's credibly accused of having done to be a humorous revenge fantasy. I still can chuckle thinking about it. But I can separate fantasy from reality and to actually do those things reveals a bullying personality that legit concerns me in a Presidential candidate.

Looks like Rudy needs to start pressuring Ukraine to find Hunter Buttigieg and Hunter Sanders. Wonder what Trump's Russian controllers can help manufacture?

Bernie Sanders = Investigation into Jane Sanders.
Pete Buttigieg = Sudden discovery of campaign finance irregularities in mayoral races in South Bend, Indiana.

If the Russian hackers can find it for Trump they will. If they have to manufacture it, perhaps they could get to the Ukrainians to claim it.
