Any idea why Buttigieg has slipped so much on DU? Am I not right...

... that he was at least in double digits for a while? Maybe not??? I know I was supporting him for a while.

Take Biden, de-age 40 years, make him more articulate, and slash the PoC base to "negligible" Tarc Feb 2020 #13

I think the highest he ever was here was 8% nt Celerity Feb 2020 #14

That is my recollection too. Nt BootinUp Feb 2020 #15

and I think that makes him less likely to win than some of the other candidates. People are becoming more pragmatic as time goes on.

I noticed in the last debate, both Pete & Bernie appeared uncomfortable talking about children. These things matter.

Buttigieg is pretty much done by the time we get to Super Tuesday. Klobuchar should have been done after Iowa, but the chaos threw her a lifeline and Biden has always been a weak frontrunner. So, among the moderates, Klobuchar could come out on top.

Biden still has life precisely because Buttigieg has alienated Black folks.

kind of preposterous, with so many other experienced, accomplished people in the running. (Looking at you too, Tulsi Gabbard.) I'm also not super-jazzed about people over 75 running, but...

Could we realistically see some of the candidates promoted to CEO of say, Apple or Berkshire Hathaway? Being president of the United States is arguably even more complicated.
