Related: About this forumButtigieg Dropped Out Before Super Tuesday To Stop Bernie Sanders...Go Joe😎
Pete Buttigieg had no intention of staying in a race that he couldnt win and allowing Bernie Sanders to build a delegate lead that no one could catch. Buttigieg put the party, and some would say the country, ahead of his ego
Buttigieg understands that the path for Bernie Sanders to win the Democratic nomination rests on moderates splitting their vote so that Sanders can make a claim to the nomination with roughly 30% support.
Mayor Pete wasnt going to be the candidate who would help Bernie Sanders divide the vote and, in the process, potentially hand Trump a second term

(11,686 posts)What he said sounded like he would be supporting Biden. I mostly asked the question for what others here think about that.

(4,341 posts)just personal opinions.
I saw, heard Pete Buttigieg's speech tonight when he announced he is getting out of the race, if anyone wanted to make any assumptions about where his mind is with respect to the future, such as some of his line implied "we must move forward, we must embrace radical decisions so that all Americans can have only one job and get paid well to enjoy life, so that teachers can get paid adequately and not have to get a second job, etc. etc."...its not verbatim but very close...so as I was listening to him I started wondering if he was going to disappoint many people in DU and say, "and because of all I have just said I find that my endorsement must go to the person I believe will get us there, and that is Bernie Sanders"...of course that he didn't endorse anyone, a little bit of a disappointment to many Biden supporters who thought he would endorse their candidate because after all, his main reason for getting out of the race was to not take delegates from Biden, that was his main reason according to a lot of people who may have not even talked to Pete to try to validate their assumptions.
He may still endorse Biden, or maybe he won't, I don't know that, but neither do many people who made the assumption he would.

(333 posts)And yet not good enough to do the job of president. We've got a malignant, draft-dodging, racist, womanizing, woman abuser, tax cheat, uneducated, buffoon-clown acting moron compared to buttigieg a decorated war veteran, speaks 5 languages (trump can speak any including english), plays 3 classical instrument, rhodes scholar, oh my God! But he not good enough to be president BUT trump is! BETTER TO HAVE A RACIST DRAFT DODGER THAN A GAY MAN. WOW WE ARE A STUPID NATION OF PEOPLE. WE PICK OUR PRESIDENTS BASED ON THE SIMPLEST SUPERFICIAL UNIMPORTANT FACTORS. NOW THAT WE KNOW WHO TRUMP IS, WHY IS HE STILL A BETTER CHOICE? ARE WE ALL CRAZY!! OR IS THERE SOMETHING GOING ON THAT WE DON'T KNOW ABOUT?
