Burning with the velocity of a prairie fire on a gusty Indiana day, Pete Buttigieg scorched the airwaves, seared the podcasts, and charred the press this week as he ignited his presidential campaign, temporarily torching his Democratic competition in the process.
The secret to Buttigieg’s publicity run was no secret, wrote Matthew Yglesias in Vox. Like Molly Bloom in his favorite novel, Ulysses, he can’t stop saying “yes”—to media invitations. In recent weeks, he’s appeared on a CNN town hall, Ellen, A-list podcasts and Morning Joe, and been featured in New York, POLITICO Magazine, the Atlantic and much more. But saying yes is never enough to hold the press spellbound. Buttigieg has satisfied the ravenous press corps’ appetite by offering them an entire menu of newish things—no, make that an entire food court of newish things—to write about. He’s the youngest candidate in the field (at 37, he’s the only millennial except for Tulsi Gabbard), he’s gay and married, he’s an Afghan war veteran, he’s a Rhodes scholar (as is Cory Booker, but never mind), he plays a decent piano, he’s a churchgoer, he’s the mayor of the fourth-largest city in Indiana, he once gave a TEDx talk, he worked as a McKinsey consultant, he’s a polymath, he’s as earnest as a preacher, he’s an old person’s idea of what a young person should be like, and he’s figured out how to package progressive ideas as moderate.

Pete can’t wait to have then trapped on his campaign plane ,it will meet Ben Dover time
The media got great mileage out of accusing any complaint or dissent about Obama as “racism”. They are hoping to do the same again with Mayor Pete except the word will be “homophobia” or (for those who aren’t polysyllabic) “hate”.
All those anti-discrimination and fairness laws passed in the last decade will be turned on their heads to silence even the faintest criticism.
Because the depth of analysis carried on by the media is about as deep as a mud puddle, and Beto’s dried up.
Oh but Beto gave them HIMSELF! He was All In. He Skateboarded!
Having stripped the Kennedyesque Texan of his novelty, the press corps has dumped him for the Kennedyesque Hoosier like a speed-dater on the rebound from a Tinder relationship gone bad.

good line.
Happy to see they’re putting their chips on a militant homosexual man with a husband and a name that sounds like “booty gig.”
The media is riddled with a ridiculously disproportionate number of homosexuals. Buttman is one of their own. Hell, he may have literally had sex with a few of them already.

Someone on a liberal site I frequent said that is no way they will nominate Buttman. He was dead serious.
Someone asked him why, and his dead serious answer was, “his name”.
He’s right.
As a soon to be old person, I can say that I NEVER once thought that a young person should be a radical faggot baby killer.

He’s right.
And it’s why everyone calls him Mayor Pete. :)
If you call him by his last name in liberal circles that like him, you will be treated the same as when you called obama “Hussein”.
I understand the media isn’t allowed to approach the elephant in the room. BUT, no Christian will vote for a homosexual man with a husband. But, shhhh ... don’t tell them. It’ll be fun to watch them melt down when Butgig loses bigly.
Because his name starts with “Butt.”
Fixed it.
Beto is an empty-headed narcissist. “Mayor Pete” is intelligent and coherent. Start worrying.
The Butt over the Mutt!
