  1. Buttigieg has a good balance..he is very mature and emotionally intelligent. He is so calm, rational and mature. I think he gets how to beat trump. Buttigieg is the opposite of what trump is…and as he said to Chris “I am not afraid of trump” I was in Afghanistan in a war, while trump was doing “Celebrity Apprentice”. See now that would be a perfect thing to bring up in a one on one presidential debate with trump, Buttigieg! I also can see that trump trying to “egg Buttigieg on with his nasty insults and comments” WOULD NOT faze Buttigieg…he is not “reactive” the way trump is. IN regards to standing up to and “handling” trump just right” I have to say Buttigieg would be the best out of ALL of the Democratic presidential candidates! Something to really think about people, Buttigieg is NOT reactive or out of control. He is so stable the opposite of trump!

    1. I think he could handle Trump well in debate. I think it would be even MORE fun, however, to see him go one-on-one with Pence 😁

  2. Pete is the smartest politician in America. It’s refreshing to hear an adult conversation/interview!

      It is very obvious that you are threatened by Mayor Pete’s sexual orientation. He makes you feel like you’re less of a man doesn’t he?
      There’s no need to belittle him unless you’re extremely insecure and you have to insult him in order to inflate your ego. You really need to stop projecting. You sound quite petty…just like the Resident in the White House. Remember, you cannot fix yourself by breaking someone else down.

    2. Seriously. He is the smartest candidate. you really have to listen through his answers to realize how intelligent he is. I just love how analytical he is. He’s almost too smart for Americans tbh.

  3. “Like the rooster in the morning. He thinks he made the sun come up.”

    Great line about Trump.

    1. @sun dial And yet another white nationalist coward again killing innocent children. You’re a proud people. – DISABLED VETERAN

    2. Ramiro Rodriguez no the rooster is sayin my bitches got your eggs ready 😆🐔🐔🐔🐣🥚🍳🧀

  4. Mayor Pete deserves my love and support for loving and supporting his country. Served, risked life and limb, honored his flag and put his life on the line to protect our constitution. That spineless rat, who cheated on every moral principal, stands no chance against a man of honor. Go get him Mr. Mayor.

    1. Yes because a random Democrat can beat Trump….Oh wait……no. Have you looked into the True Evil and Dark History of Donald Trump yet? You will NEVER know the Truth of Trump’s taxes, because that can and WILL make you insta-lose 2020!

  5. A good man, coherent, sensible, friendly, intelligent and morally onboard.

    … what the heck is he doing in politics ?!

    1. @TunedCavityLasers You are clearly describing yourself. Did you serve, boy?
      Have your balls dropped yet, boy?

    1. @CLMSQ2 can’t imagine sending Donald Trump to negotiate nuclear deals either. Everyone is laughing behind the back of that walking caricature.

    2. Clinton Pachingel “Space Invaders” OMG. Trump supporters are so oblivious. Are we just conveniently forgetting Trump wants a space force. No one could tell you what it does but he wants one. Moronic is not the word.

    3. Natasha Norman You can’t look at the vote for Trump as anything other than burning the house down. Most would admit it and frankly if you did vote for Trump then yeah you have a lot of explaining to do. No point sugar coating it. Time to start facing reality. Nothing this admin has done warrants a second term.

    1. This is how stupid y’all are y’all think somebody else besides Donald Trump’s going to win 2020 you need to wake the fuk up y’all are so stupid y’all deserve everything coming y’all’s way soon as Donald Trump leaves the White all of y’all are going to get it

    2. @wild cat You’re hilarious Boris 😉 Still waiting on the adress of that good Blini place in St.Petersburg though…

  6. “Mayor Pete” is downright impressive. Comparing DJT on unemployment to the roster that crowed and thinks he made the sun rise. Priceless.

    1. @Robert Brooks – To ? as in also ? He is running for President, not your fantasy. But Trump supporters think like that dont they ?

  7. I like you Buttigieg. You’re intelligent, articulate and God … you have common sense! Lovely breathe of fresh air.

    1. But yet you ignore whats happening and how people really think about him in his own city. Start by asking the local police.

    1. @James P Gray The problem is not Buttigieg is not scared of Trump it is no one scared of Buttigieg. No one.

    2. @James P Gray To my exparty of Democrats. You need to tell Democratic leaders to stop mismanaging cities and cut taxes. None of your schemes will work if people know you are going to steal more money from their wallets. White identity is more Democratic BS. This is about money. Obama won on cutting taxes and then over 1000 Democrats were fired for the Obamacare tax.

    1. Gayboy Buttegieg over Kneepads Kamala. Crazy Bernie over Buttegieg. Creepy Joe over Pocahontas. Doesn’t matter. All will get their azz handed to them by Trump.

  8. When they talk about” the adult in the room” they are talking about Mayor Pete …good luck at the debate👏

    1. Shar Yn

      Agree. I love how grounded he is. I’m really looking forward to more people seeing how intelligent and decent he is.

  9. Go Pete, you are a guy with brains, a military experience and political nous. Hope you are there when the votes are cast.

    1. Michele Kett Could you imagine peter puffer going to Middle East to y’all about denuclearization? Lol they would throw this fairy off the buildings. Seriously, cry all you want about homophobic but if America had a gay potus, we would be f$&ked! Jussie smollet could be his VP!

      Black Racist Gay Lives Matter to the Obuma’s & Whoopi weaveberg

      CNN making America racist and homophobic again

      CNN is the enemy of the American people

  10. “He’s like the rooster in the morning and he thinks he made the sun come up.”Good One Pete.👍

  11. Say what you will about the dude, Pete is honest & trying his best to do good. That matters. Now more than ever.

  12. To diffuse the Conservative and Religious Right’s loathing of same-sex relationships, I would recommend that Buttigieg speak clearly, powerfully and directly to their fears and concerns.

  13. Saying he’s intelligent is an understatement. He speaks 8 languages, is a classically trained pianist, graduated from Harvard, and he’s a Rhodes Scholar! Get ’em Pete!

    1. He can’t manage South Bend, Indiana…a very small town…But, he can be “expected” to manage the USA?…Really??..Give me a break!!

  14. It’s refreshing to see a candidate virtually immune to Trumps twitter feed. As the youngest candidate on stage he recognises the Presidents incendiary rhetoric is nothing more than diversion tactics.
