Pete just made quick, quick work of JD Vance. Savage.

1. I like Pete. He has a great deal of potential.

[madaboutharry]

2. Oh Pete, I loved him from day one.

He is always the smartest person in the room. And he has a sense of humor too.

[msfiddlestix]

22. me too. I stumbled on an interview when he was still mayor, about a year before 2020 campaign. LOVED HIM

ever since. voted for him in California primary.

incredible speaker, erudite, articulate, cogent, with a great sense of humor.

And although he is quite an intellect, he never talks down, condescends or engages in word salads.
I'd love to live long enough to see him as President, but our culture is too effed up with maggat infestation.

3. Damn, Pete really is brilliant! We need to protect him for the future

[dalton99a]

4. Kick

[MorbidButterflyTat]

5. He spoke the absolute truth

Speaking the truth is considered "savage" in 2024.

[choie]

6. He is just so brilliant

and funny as hell. Totally agree that he has an amazing future ahead and we're fortunate he's a Democrat!

7. We have a fine depth of good talent.

We have so many really good leaders that can help steer all of America through this. Obama said it better than anyone in recent years, it really does take everyone. From local mayors all the way to the federal government.

"Mayor Pete" is exceptional. He's been honing skills in a part of government that doesn't generally get any attention. He's been good at pulling attention to an under-served part of government that affects everyone.

[Think. Again.]

8. I love Pete.

[Alice Kramden]

9. We need more of this!

Thank you, Pete

10. Vance became a catholic in 2019

[patphil]

25. Here's an interesting article about that.

https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/258326/gop-vice-presidential-pick-jd-vance-on-why-he-became-catholic

I think he has a bit of a slippery tongue. He speaks easily of things he wants us to believe about him, but that he only says because it's what he thinks we want to hear.
I think he sees himself as the next generation Trump.
In other words, ego driven, power hungry, and full of BS right up to his ears.

[Blue Full Moon]

27. Reading the article was painful

He did not by the way grow up in a poor Appalachia home. He was born, raised and graduated from high school in Middletown, OH. Not anywhere near any of the Appalachia counties. Hillbilly is a derogatory name. But the ex ambassador to the United States from the Vatican that the Pope excommunicated seems to have undue influence in southern Ohio for some reason.

12. Thanks for sharing this,

I would have never seen anything with Maher....

[sarchasm]

13. Pete is the one of the GOAT orator/debaters we have .

.. and we have a whole bunch of them thankfully.

Mad respect and eternally grateful for all of them.

Raskin
AOC
Porter
Crockett
Shuffle - Schiff (ha! spellcheck)
Moskowitz
etc.

[Bluepinky]

24. Bernie Sanders too.

[roamer65]

30. ...and Gavin Newsom.

[CrispyQ]

14. I love this guy!!

He is so damned awesome!!

He spoke to a bipartisan group of senators, I believe, shortly after he was appointed Secretary & even the republican ones were impressed with him.

[malaise]

15. Excellent

Rec

[karin_sj]

16. He's fantastic!

He definitely needs to get out there in front of the camera as much as he can between now and the election. He even got Maher to pay attention, stop interrupting, and even laugh. No small feat!

[wryter2000]

17. And he knows the difference between

Hanged and hung.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

18. Brutal

[NowISeetheLight]

19. Oh Ouch!

Good grief he totally nails it here. Pete is awesome. He's so right about the "flavor of the month" (my term) Republicans too. They'll say anything and do anything for power.

[Solly Mack]

20. I like Pete Buttigieg.

[Bluethroughu]

21. Pence said he didn't except the fake electors only,

Because his son was so disgusted. Not because Judge Ludig said it was illegal.

Pence is a piece of crap, that hangs with flies.

[FakeNoose]

23. Some day ... Pete will lead us to the Promised Land

I have the same hopes for Pete Buttigieg that many of us had for Barack Obama when he emerged on the scene.

[patphil]

26. I think Pete has a great future in the Democratic Party.

[patphil]

28. J D Vance isn't from Appalachia.

He was born in Middletown, Ohio. a suburb of Cincinnati, and definitely not part of Appalachia.
It's more of his BS hype to get people to think he's a good old boy.

29. As far as I am able to tell, that's true brilliance.

[question everything]

31. And, the horror, this is from the despised Bill Maher show
