that supports Bernie. Mayor Pete appeals to many moderates so of course Biden would go after him.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

Brutal Biden ad against Mayor Pete. [View all] dewsgirl Feb 2020 OP

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

The way I judge candidates has much more to do with their character and intelligence. unitedwethrive Feb 2020 #17

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

I agree. cwydro Feb 2020 #11

Dem against Dem negative ads turn me off too DesertRat Feb 2020 #20

Thanks! BlueWI Feb 2020 #30

Wow - kaBoom! jmg257 Feb 2020 #10

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

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

I think this ad also serves to weaken Pete to ensure that Biden comes first or second in Nevada in Skya Rhen Feb 2020 #61
