Nice Joe... takin the gloves off I see! Will only HELP Mayor Pete the way it's helped Bernie surge! InAbLuEsTaTe Feb 2020 #1
What has Pete actually done in a small town that qualifies him to be president? doc03 Feb 2020 #2

He did some totally tone-deaf and I will say it--bad--things to AA's in his community. They were not emmaverybo Feb 2020 #32
His black police chief committed felony wiretapping... Steven Maurer Feb 2020 #37
Well, my first take too was that he was in a tough position. Further research and into more issues emmaverybo Feb 2020 #38
Of more importance, Buttigieg had been mayor for a month. denem Feb 2020 #40
Did not realize that. Also fired Fire Chief. Had years to recruit black officers, to meet with AA emmaverybo Feb 2020 #45
I agree with you completely. denem Feb 2020 #46
Damn. Thought I was raging into the howling wind. Just don't think AA community was on his radar. emmaverybo Feb 2020 #47
+1. Buttigieg is a failed mayor in terms of racial relations dalton99a Feb 2020 #64
No. And I don't and would never, as I feel his failure was in an inability to build relationships emmaverybo Feb 2020 #67
He is smart, will hire smart. That works for me. krissey Feb 2020 #43
Just to play devil's advocate, what had Obama done that... SKKY Feb 2020 #48

The ad offends me. Mad cow Feb 2020 #12
Same. MerryBlooms Feb 2020 #23
Pete Buttigieg offended numerous AA people.And this ad doesn't address that. It goes easy. emmaverybo Feb 2020 #49
I don't think of the ad as a smack down Mad cow Feb 2020 #65
It wasn't Joe's argument. He could have talked about how Pete's gentrification burdened AA emmaverybo Feb 2020 #66
I know it wasn't Joe's argument... Mad cow Feb 2020 #68

I have been torn between Joe and Pete. This pushes me to Pete. maximusveritas Feb 2020 #18
Doubt this is geared to the AA market - he can't go much lower than the 0% that he's polling at Skya Rhen Feb 2020 #19
That's cute. You do realize Pete is surging everywhere after Iowa maximusveritas Feb 2020 #22
Hard to say who the ad is geared to. BlueWI Feb 2020 #27
So you're saying that white Dem voters are indifferent to racial injustice? Wow, as an AA, I Skya Rhen Feb 2020 #62
As an AA, I am calling out a couple of things. BlueWI Feb 2020 #63
I hate to see Joe go out this way. mobeau69 Feb 2020 #33
Just the kind of thing Pete Buttigieg would say, patronizing and insulting. Also untrue. PB is going emmaverybo Feb 2020 #60
I'm disappointed. Chipper Chat Feb 2020 #34
Whoa Joinfortmill Feb 2020 #35
Clealy he feels threatened by Pete. Capt. America Feb 2020 #36
BIDEN FOR BERNIE 2020 denem Feb 2020 #39

Biden wants Bernie to win NH. denem Feb 2020 #42
This message was self-deleted by its author still_one Feb 2020 #57
Yes. What is that. He went after Harris. Warren and Buttigieg and not Sanders. krissey Feb 2020 #44
When did he "go after" Harris? He made a rather tepid defense after she ate him for lunch. He's emmaverybo Feb 2020 #50
Not even half way thru I wanted to back out of the ad. It was flat out nasty. I cannot believe a krissey Feb 2020 #51
Well, I can not believe with his record in South Bend with the AA community, Joe would go so emmaverybo Feb 2020 #53
It really surprises me that some seem so unaware what is going on. Biden, Pete, and Amy still_one Feb 2020 #52
Who would you prefer to see win NH - Pete or Bernie? denem Feb 2020 #54
"Of course it is Biden"? Where do you get that from? I guess the same assumption that still_one Feb 2020 #55
I don't want to see Bernie coming out of NH with the wind in his sails. denem Feb 2020 #56
Good, then we are on the same page. The odds are very much in Bernies favor that he will win still_one Feb 2020 #58
