When Pete is now a serious player in the race
It's as if now he's a threat to this journalist's preferred candidate, it's no longer that he's not passing the purity test on healthcare and college debt, he's not passing the purity test on being sufficiently gay.

(1,474 posts)2. A lot of hate for mayor Pete
