During an interview in Washington on Thursday, The Post’s Robert Costa tried his best to get Democratic presidential candidate and South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg to say something negative about fellow candidate Joe Biden. Part of the old guard? Defended credit card companies? Responsible for mass incarceration as a result of the 1994 crime bill?
But each time, Buttigieg calmly sidestepped the invitation to go after the former vice president, while using the opportunity to lay out policy differences (“I have a difference of opinion with anybody who favors credit card companies over consumers”), and demonstrating his wonkish knowledge.
Buttigieg’s bluntness, succinctness and even-keeled delivery help him score TV-memorable points. During the same interview, he went after President Trump’s “bone spurs” excuse to get out of fighting in the Vietnam War: “If you’re a conscientious objector, I’d admire that. But this is somebody who, I think it’s fairly obvious to most of us, took advantage of the fact that he was the child of a multimillionaire to pretend to be disabled so that somebody could go to war in his place.”
In sum, Buttigieg stands out because he is remarkably disciplined, can effortlessly show expertise and projects authority on foreign affairs. Most of all, he displays the cool demeanor and wry humor that Democrats admired in President Barack Obama. After Trump’s irrational, loud, insult-driven rhetoric, it’s rather calming listening to Buttigieg.

What young 37 year old mayor of a small Midwestern City, be considered as a serious presidential candidate, except for him being a homosexual? Serious question. What has he accomplished in life , whether in politics or other areas of life, that would make anyone think he is a serious presidential candidate?
What are you made the cover of Time Magazine with his homosexual husband, if not for pushing homosexuality as part of his campaign as part of his campaign?
Is he simply a media creation because he checks off a diversity box for Democrats?
He is a wonderful Gay who walks on the water and then that water turns into a world class wine.
LOL.
Pete is queer.

Harvey Milk- a disgusting Gay criminal predator of young underage boys, was well esteemed by the left simply for being the ‘first gay man elected to office’ He even got a battleship named after him- His accomplishments? Zero!

You mean OCommie’s stubborn refusal to even do something as simple as release an authentic birth certificate?
You mean his “cool demeanor’ when he ALWAYS took the side of black thugs, even tho everyone else knew they were responsible for provoking the end result?
Likewise, when he shipped BILLION$ to radical Iran under cover of darkness?
Or when he angrily said “CAN CAN CAN I JUST EAT MY WAFFLE”??
Effective?? At what. Taking one where the moon don’t shine. Sippin sperm,
His only claim to fame is being a receptacle.
Serious answer- Afghanistan Vet, A Rhodes Scholar at Oxford and a graduate of Harvard University.
Merely answering your question as to what his qualifications are, not supporting him.
“demonstrating his wonkish knowledge.”
So he is today’s Jimmy Carter, except he wasn’t an Executive Officer on a submarine. But he IS a great catcher.
