Pete Buttigieg will close out his campaign in Iowa focusing on his ability to win over disaffected Republicans who backed President Donald Trump in 2016, hoping that Democrats who are hellbent on defeating Trump in November will be wooed by a candidate who can eat into the President's support.
The concerted push will amount to an electability argument which hopes to seize on the fact that Iowa has more so-called pivot counties -- those places that voted for Barack Obama in 2012 but then backed Trump four years later -- than any other state in the country.
This messaging will manifest itself both in Buttigieg schedule over his final week in Iowa -- the candidate will headline events in Webster, Boone and Wapello counties, all of which flipped to Trump in 2016 -- as well as their decision to headline a Fox News town hall on Sunday in Des Moines...
The campaign will also begin...new digital ads aimed at building support in places Trump won in 2016...and Buttigieg's pitch to win them back. The ads feature the margin that Trump won the county by and why the campaign believes Buttigieg can win.
The strategy reflects an urgency for Buttigieg in Iowa. Sources close to Buttigieg tell CNN that there is a growing consensus inside the campaign that if the mayor does not place in the top two in either Iowa or New Hampshire or if he places behind former Vice President Joe Biden in both states, the race could effectively be over for the 38-year-old former mayor of South Bend, Indiana.

Failed mayor of a small, crime-ridden midwest town going to peel off votes from the most successful POTUS ever.
He's dead.
Perhaps Gay conversion is his super power.
“”””””hoping that Democrats who are hellbent on defeating Trump in November will be wooed by a candidate who can eat into the President’s support. “”””””””””””””””
Good luck with that, Buttplug.
There’s a “handful” of them in Ioway, Peter
Stupid is as stupid does
No Republican will vote for a fudge-packing, xxxx-sucker.
Does he have a clue?
Sorta like Joseph Goebbels trying to peel off support from the Red Army on their march to Berlin

His race is effectively over.
Yeah Trump voters will go to him - because voters think a leftist fag is just like Trump.
Words that don’t belong in the same sentence...
disaffected * Trump * voters
I talk with lots of folks and I have yet to meet a single such animal......
Imagine for a second that you voted for him in 2016 knowing only what he promised to do. He has kept those promises and done much more. Does anyone know a single disaffected Trump voter?
Converting them to sodomites?
Oh, I am sure that he going to try to convert some folks...
Bwah hah hah, that’s hilarious that the sodomite abortion-lover thinks any Trump supporter would think for one second about voting for him.
What a narcissist, what a FOOL.
“Does he have a clue?”
A man who would lick another man’s anus just may not really have a clue.
Right Poofter Pete is going to get Trump votes. That’s actually funny
HOWDY DOODY for POTUS?
