More presidential-related press for South Bend’s mayor.

Pete Buttigieg has been mentioned once again in Politico Sunday as a potential mayoral candidate that might rise up to run for President in 2020 in the Democratic ticket.

Politico says that mayors like Buttigieg, L.A. Mayor Eric Garcetti, and former New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu as possibilities for the White House. Buttigieg is quoted as saying “It’s definitely a season for cities and definitely a season for mayors.”

Buttigieg has been covered extensively in recent years as a rising star in the Democratic ranks.

Not even close to qualified for the job. It’s hard to believe but Pete has even less experience than I do in governing. When it comes to swallowing hot dogs at Nathan’s we are about equally qualified. I should know, my name is Barack Obama.

Hahaha and they say Trump wasn’t qualified. Look at Southbend its a real S***HOLE you can put lipstick on a pig but its still a pig. If he really thinks he would win he is delusional. I dont know how he is considered”a rising star” Southbend is out of control he is turning it into another Chicago

He’s a “rising star” in the Democratic party because he checks the boxes that they think can win. Gay + Military.

.001 percent of our poulations is who Butti represents. Run for President? Ridiculous!!! July 17, 2018 at 9:34 am

Sad that the Dems want to put someone on the ticket just because he is gay. Butti has no other validating qualifications that’s for sure! They put Obama on the ticket just because he was kind of black and it got them 8 years to destroy our country with a community leader (racist anti-America hater) from Chicago. The sadder part to this story is he will probably end up somewhere in the federal government because Americans (I use this label very loosely) are more interested in sexual orientation than actual governance of our swamp in congress. Crooked Hilary almost won so that tell a lot about our “citizens” right there. Maybe Butti and Hilary can run on same ticket and finally destroy America as we once knew it.

We are screwed if we continue to let people that hate America ruin America.

Quit picking on Pete. Don’t you know about his new book and how he believes SB is a “Model for America”. Pay no attention to the daily shootings. Nothing to see here. Move along.
