1. Kicked and recommended.

Thanks for the thread guillaumeb.

2. Not the 1st time he's tried to compare himself to FDR.

Not gonna work, IMO. There is no comparison. "I welcome their hatred" - FDR speech.

[guillaumeb]

3. FDR needed to be pushed.

But the message is the same.

And as in the 1930s, the GOP opposes that message.

4. Petes Idea is if you can't beat them join them.

Wall Street and finance executives place their early 2020 bets on a variety of Democratic presidential candidates, from Pete Buttigieg to Kamala Harris, even as the contenders try to distance themselves from big-money donors.https://www.cnbc.com/2019/04/16/wall-street-and-finance-executives-place-first-bets-on-2020-democrats.html

South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg, who announced his candidacy in January, notably returned over $30,000 to lobbyists after he raised over $7 million in the first quarter of 2019. In doing so, his campaign stated Buttigieg “will not be influenced by special-interest money.” Less than a month later, it was revealed that he reportedly had been quietly courting wealthy big tech tycoons in Silicon Valley.https://dailycaller.com/2019/05/21/democrats-wall-street-fundraising/

The Times reported: “Interviews with two dozen top contributors, fund-raisers and political advisers on Wall Street and beyond revealed that while many are still hedging their bets, those who care most about picking a winner are gravitating toward Mr. Biden and Ms. Harris, while donors are swooning over Mr. Buttigieg enough to open their wallets and bundling networks for him.”https://www.commondreams.org/views/2019/07/01/after-bidens-sharp-decline-wall-street-investors-reassessing-other-blue-chips

What does Pete really stand for?

6. HA! You're quoting Daily Caller? Are his donations illegal? From felons?

Anything?

[bahrbearian]

7. The donation's expose him, it's who he wants to work for.

[Honeycombe8]

8. Interesting, Bahrbearian. Financial people DO tend to hedge their bets.

Pete is a moderate. A traditional Democrat. Like me.

The 2016 Democratic Platform probably contains a lot about the traditional Democratic ideology.

We're all on the same side.

[oldsoftie]

5. Just a big waste of time. And Bernie will hang in till the convention.

After which he'll go back to NOT being a Democrat

[guillaumeb]

9. He is a Democrat in everything but the name. eom

[oldsoftie]

10. Then why not STAY one? And no, he's not.

Its like rooting for a team, but only when they're winning. Thats NOT a true fan

[Gothmog]

12. Enemies list are not attractive

This is not a good move

[betsuni]

11. The enemy is the Republican Party.

Duh.
