Buttigieg Responds to Biden Saying He's 'No Barack Obama': 'He's Right, I'm Not, and Neither Is He'

https://www.mediaite.com/election-2020/buttigieg-responds-to-biden-saying-hes-no-barack-obama-hes-right-im-not-and-neither-is-he/

I'm not so sure how this sniping between our candidates can be helpful in the long run. Aren't we better off saving our ammunition for Trump? And yes, I support Bernie and he may have done it as well. I just want everybody to chill.
If I were to vote in a presidential

It's harmless, just as long as they all come together at the end. I think a brokered convention is likely to be very damaging. I hope they come together before that happens.

The GOP loves this. It writes the campaign ads for them.

Follow Bloomberg's lead and focus the anger at Trump.

It weakens all of us, at all points in the race.

Anyone who feels a need to pull themselves up by bringing others down is showing their lack of teamwork, a poor lack of judgement, and an obvious lack of how much damage this sort of thing has caused in the past, specifically against Reagan, Bush 1, and Trump. Don't kid yourself, every attack gives the GOP ammunition and feeds their fire.

I absolutely agree that all of this needs to be behind us long before the convention. If we are not united, we can expect the loss of virtually all the things we love about our country
