    1. Exion Studios I caught that. Dude has an epic voice….except that Darth Vader come back, that was garbage.

    1. Because he makes himself available to be on TV a lot more than many other candidates in the race. The fact that he is on in his second bus tour with press by his side and everything on record is testament to his transparency and ability to make himself available to be questioned.

  1. Where’s the “orange man bad” in this? We need a constant “orange man bad” fix for our TDS. Zucker said you have to stay on point.

    1. @Saṃsāra’s Light or maybe it’s your poor comprehension. Sounds like he’s aware of the issue that there is still homophobia in the adult african american community, and he believes he can overcome it by reaching to those communities, and making an effort to focus on items that affect their communities as part of his platform. Such as improving businesses, dealing with racial bias, etc.

      Not sure what went over your head… Looks like effort and taking actions to me, while dealing with clear homophobia from the older community. When he could just be like, ok bigots, I will just leave your asses behind.

  2. Pete Bootyboy with the exception of Liz Warren is the absolute worst choice we could make. Liz will bankrupt the middle class financially, Pete will morally.

  3. I’ve watched Trump try to hold hands or molest every male leader he’s met thus far!!! I don’t want Trump out cos he’s hiding in the closet, I want Trump out cos he’s a c#nt🤷🏾‍♂️

    1. @William H One major reason third-world immigration will destroy the “progressive” Democrat Party.

  4. *I’ve liked everything he’s said so far… He’s intelligent and can speak coherently, HE has actually served his country. I sincerely like Pete.* 🤷🏻‍♀️

    1. He plagiarizes Andrew Yang talking points. And then out spend him by taking big corporation money.

      If you like what Pete says, actually, you should listen to Yang. Pete is a sellout hack. He’s fooling you. Zero morality. Remember how he laughed at Yang at second debate? While at same time he was copying Yang talking points. All he has is identity politics.

      I’ve served 15 years and can speak coherently. I can’t juggle like a trained circus animal though. Will you vote for me?

      Please pay attention to where Pete’s money is coming from. He will represent big business interest and forget about those that voted for him until reelection rolls around. We don’t need white Obama, we need a leader who will fight for the working American.

    3. @adayexpired It seems that you are pretty young God bless you! I find Yang an interesting candidate, but thinking that he introduced new and revolutionary ideas it’s a stretch of reality. By the way pushing your candidate by smearing others doesn’t sound good to me, personally it drives me away from searching and reading about AY.

  5. Great interview, I must say. Respectful to the candidate and yet with challenging questions. I especially liked the follow-up on the question about his lack of appeal to African-Americans, which seems to be still a big issue for Pete.

    1. yes I liked the interview as well good questioning and he didn’t side step I especially liked it when he said he had to earn their vote wish all politician felt that way, doesn’t matter the party you don’t deserve the vote unless you earn it.

  6. Pete just saying the things people like to hear to get elected. once he is in office it’s all about the big money donors that backed him. BTW everything he say is common sense nothing new to my ears. In fact hearing him talk make me feel like I could be president too. Remember this on Nov. 3 2020 who is it that make you feel cited to vote. Sadly for me it’s not this guy.

  7. Pete Buttigieg doesn’t have any identity of his own. All his plans are just a minor tweak of other candidates plans. This copycat has no chance to win the nomination. The bias media (uhhh CNN, MSNBC) need to stop trying to push him on us, he has no substance. CNN saying that Joe Biden might be upset about Pete saying it is a 2 person race between him and Biden is showing bias on CNNs part. The polls are clear that Biden is on his way out. If anyone should be upset about Pete saying that it would be Bernie Sanders. It is a 2 person race, but it is between Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren. I don’t think Bernie cares about Pete. The only people that are saying that Pete has a chance is the corrupt bias media and without substance that will not take a candidate very far.

  8. What a bunch of closeted homophobes here. I don’t like Pete based on his establishment politics, not because he’s gay.

  9. CNN won’t even mention Bernies name. 😂 Pete is corrupt just like CNN. He’ll be like trump but smart and well spoken. That’s dangerous. Don’t be fooled America.
