8. K and R nt

[Auggie]

2. Why isn't Buttigieg polling higher?

What's not connecting with people? I'm so in awe of him.

Thanks for posting (as usual), Rhiannon12866

[Merlot]

4. Maybe to centrist, might poll higher if Biden weren't in the race

I also feel that he doesn't have enough of a track record for voters to really see what he's about.

Personally, the religious talk is a turn off for me.

[smirkymonkey]

7. I really like Buttigieg as well.

However there is a big difference between who I like and who I think can win. I think he would be great, but I think he is using the religious talk to counter his sexual orientation. A lot of us don't think his sexual orientation is a big deal, but the people who do won't vote for a Democrat anyway. I kind of wish he would drop the religious stuff.

9. I agree, he never has a bad interview

He can answer any question, never seems to get tripped up, plus he's also shown he has a sense of humor.

[Auggie]

12. Maybe the wrong people are being polled

Seriously. I don’t think the media helps a damn either. They want to report on known personalities — better for ratings. Unless someone can break through the clutter (like Obama did in his 2004 convention speech) they’ll be ignored.

10. Last I heard Bernie is on top

With Biden, Buttigieg and Warren. Its going to be close, I think. (national poll)

3. Pete Buttigieg is a top-Notch candidate.

A new voice, new ideas, really inspiring.

[Auggie]

6. I know!

Inspiring is the perfect word. No other candidate is resonating with me at the moment like Pete.

5. Here is a great low ONE. Speaker Pelosi SHUT THE CAMERAS OFF for the SOTU. Its your house now,

Make the tyrant rant to a dark chamber with only 1/2 of the seats fill. That would make it a house of traitors.

Start FIGHTING BACK at the SOTU.

[OnDoutside]

11. I like Dyson, but that was a really shit dig at Obama, and by extension,

Harris and Booker. Is he trying to be the next Cornell West ?
