According To Ali Velshi...Pete Leads In Delegates

[Me.]

With 23. Good for him to be springing a surprise on a lot of people.

[Pachamama]

1. Yes - it's true

But don’t tell the Sander’s folks because they don’t want to hear that...

[Dennis Donovan]

3. Does he go by "Petey"?

I've never heard anyone call Mayor Buttigieg "Petey" before.

[Pachamama]

6. First you insult Pete Buttigieg by calling him "Petey" and now you call him this?

Stop insulting admirable Democrats while you come here

[W_HAMILTON]

7. How about use his actual name instead of homophobic slurs?

Hi Bernie people!

[W_HAMILTON]

12. We aren't on friendly terms, so don't try it.

Respect people by calling them by their name instead of homophobic slurs.

You aren't fooling anyone around here.

[lunasun]

35. Thanks for pointing that out

[krissey]

19. It is clear what you are doing. To all of us.

[ChubbyStar]

31. To all of us?

Maybe you mean the posters who have signed up this month, if not I am unclear on your point. Thanks for clarifying.

[Cha]

40. We can all see it.

[sweetloukillbot]

36. I've seen a couple "Petey Butt"s on my FB feed.

Invariably supporters of a certain candidate.

[George II]

13. You're calling a gay man "Mayor Butt"??? REALLY?

[JaneQPublic]

17. I miss the old days when DU delivered tombstone pizzas. (nt)

[TexasTowelie]

23. +1

[Dennis Donovan]

25. Here lies a disruptor....

[JaneQPublic]

26. That's it!

How I've missed it.

Time to bring the tombstone out of mothballs and put it back to work, before the campaign season gets any weirder.

[Dennis Donovan]

32. ...and mods!!!

[patricia92243]

33. Yep.

[Dennis Donovan]

18. We're talking about grown man, though.

I show every candidate (except one - the one who has a cot at Fox News) respect here on DU and elsewhere because one of them is going to be the nominee, and they will certainly get my vote.

On edit. Rescinding my welcome. It appears you're not here to be productive.

[Gravitycollapse]

22. Alerted on. It's a well known homophobic slur against him by the Right.

You're wasting your time here if this is how you're going to act.

[lunasun]

34. WTH delete this crap shades of Rush

[lunasun]

38. 1 post removed You just signed up today to cosplay a Bernie bro or what ? Frelance or $150?

[Pachamama]

4. You mean like all the Republicans who voted for Bernie?

Of course you would....

[George II]

10. They won't be conducting a popular vote count at the Convention in July, it'll be a delegate count.

[Cha]

20. "Petey"? What's up with that?

[guillaumeb]

28. BernWard joined today.

30. I know..

[H2O Man]

41. A short life expectancy.

May he rustt in pieces.

[guillaumeb]

42. Shorter than I expected.

Oh well, perhaps the poster will find a more friendly site.

[H2O Man]

43. 'Spect he might

have visited from one of those.

[guillaumeb]

44. He demonstrated a good command of the English language. eom

[H2O Man]

45. Might have been

Sean Hannity yet again.

[Kurt V.]

29. and definitely don't tell biden ppl :)

[George II]

9. Yes, while one candidate is crowing about "winning" the first two states....

....Buttigieg got the most delegates in both.

[Gravitycollapse]

21. He got the most in IA and the same as Sanders in NH.

[JaneQPublic]

24. Not surprising, considering the title of the book by Bernie's campaign manager.

[Nanjeanne]

11. I think that's correct. Pete 22 and Sanders 21 from the two states so far. Not very controversial.

Long way to go!

[MineralMan]

15. Yes, he does, but there are so few delegates so far that the count

is pretty meaningless. Still, he is the delegate leader.

That will change soon, though. Things are moving on from Iowa and New Hampshire, two states that don't represent the population very well at all. Nevada and South Carolina will show a different picture, and immediately after South Caroline comes Super Tuesday, which dwarfs all four early states massively.

This election year is not like any other in recent Democratic Party history. The huge candidate field and so few results have warped our perception of things, but that's about to be corrected.

Really, the 2020 Democratic Primaries are closer to the 2016 Republican Primaries. We all remember what happened there.

2020 can't be predicted based on two early primary events. We might be able to predict better on March 4, but even that might be too early to read the tea leaves.

It's going to be a strange year, leading up to the convention, which might be pretty strange, itself.
