70. I've watched him, too, since Politically Incorrect. Even when he was an actor.

He's crackerjack smart. Being smart doesn't mean you're right. I just know that he's very intelligent and must remember everything he's ever read. He knows facts and dates and all sorts of things about politics that even political pundits don't remember.

I think he's so funny. I don't agree with everything he says, but there's no funnier political satirist in the world.

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

Bill Maher: Buttigieg a 'little too young' to be president [View all] DonViejo Jun 2019 OP

but in the same interview he is being critical of people saying Joe is too old?? jezebel321 Jun 2019 #1

Honestly...I would have thought, too, before I listened to and read more about Mayor Pete DrToast Jun 2019 #2

I don't think it's so much his age as it is the lack of experience on a national level Indygram Jun 2019 #5

The "experience" argument is one the pukes are sure to embrace. mobeau69 Jun 2019 #11

Yep! MyOwnPeace Jun 2019 #37

Definitely not your avg 37 yr old. I think Maher is speaking of life experiences. nt Honeycombe8 Jun 2019 #62

I don't vote based on Bill Maher's opinion left-of-center2012 Jun 2019 #3

Bill Maher is proof that age does not equal wisdom Renew Deal Jun 2019 #4

Yes! patricia92243 Jun 2019 #6

Bill Maher is one of the sharpest people in the universe when it comes to politics mtnsnake Jun 2019 #13

He regularly parrots RW talking points Trumpocalypse Jun 2019 #20

ALL of this 👆🏻👆🏻, which is why I run extremely cold on Maher most of the time ... LenaBaby61 Jun 2019 #38

Maher is a misogynistic, Islamophobic shanny Jun 2019 #39

generally speaking, yes. But Pete is wise far beyond 37. AlexSFCA Jun 2019 #7

I tend to agree with Bill BannonsLiver Jun 2019 #8

Politicub: Maher a "little too much of an asshole" to judge anything about Buttigieg Politicub Jun 2019 #9

LOL Qutzupalotl Jun 2019 #33

as a local mayor he is untested electorally. he has not even won a Congressional district sized elec TeamPooka Jun 2019 #10

"untested electorally', really? Did Mike Pence appoint him to be Mayor or, did he win by DonViejo Jun 2019 #16

If you want to pretend winning a mayor's race in a city of 100K is the same as winning TeamPooka Jun 2019 #23

And Donald Trump won how? DonViejo Jun 2019 #24

So you're saying that's a good thing? We should be like Republicans? Interesting. TeamPooka Jun 2019 #25

No, quit playing games. Donald Trump won without ever holding an elective office... DonViejo Jun 2019 #26

your example lost the popular vote by 3 million and had help from a foreign power to win. TeamPooka Jun 2019 #28

The popular vote yes, but he's still President isn't he? I guess you feel our candidate (whoever... DonViejo Jun 2019 #34

I did not say my feelings on his capability, just that he is untested. That's a fact you don't like. TeamPooka Jun 2019 #35

Of course they are apples to apples. marylandblue Jun 2019 #55

But he beat all the "experienced" Repub politicians. nt Honeycombe8 Jun 2019 #64

That poster was upset the other day because Pete was wearing shirtsleeves in the airport lol. cwydro Jun 2019 #49

and then he finally wore a suit in Iowa and looked good doing it. Finally looked Presidential. TeamPooka Jun 2019 #56

And Biden wore shirtsleeves! cwydro Jun 2019 #58

It's not my fault his casual attire lacks gravitas TeamPooka Jun 2019 #59

Trump looked ridiculous here in Louisiana in a suit. Honeycombe8 Jun 2019 #65

Neither had Trump. nt Honeycombe8 Jun 2019 #63

Maher is right Bradshaw3 Jun 2019 #12

Specifics DrToast Jun 2019 #15

I had already looked at that Bradshaw3 Jun 2019 #21

Maher's point was mainly about Pete. It was about a 77-81 yr old being President. nt Honeycombe8 Jun 2019 #66

Bill Maher sucks. lark Jun 2019 #14

Obama was a full decade older BannonsLiver Jun 2019 #17

Obama was 50. He just looked young. And handsome. And physically fit. Honeycombe8 Jun 2019 #67

Most republicans feel the same exact way about Maher as you do. Personally, I think Maher is great. mtnsnake Jun 2019 #18

He's a comedian. Take it with a grain of salt. nt DesertRat Jun 2019 #19

He's a political satirist. I disagree w/what he said,but Maher is very smart... Honeycombe8 Jun 2019 #68

How does being mayor of a town qualify one to be POTUS?? Gothmog Jun 2019 #22

It doesn't qualify him one bit. calguy Jun 2019 #29

Mayor Pete needs some real accomplishments on the national level to run for POTUS Gothmog Jun 2019 #31

He has more executive leadership experience than Trump Qutzupalotl Jun 2019 #36

I tend not to care how misogynists and religious bigots feel tishaLA Jun 2019 #27

Maher is 63 and he's not very smart Clash City Rocker Jun 2019 #30

Maher is actually very smart. High IQ...you can tell if you watch him in interviews. Honeycombe8 Jun 2019 #69

Um OK shanny Jun 2019 #53

Irrelevant MFM008 Jun 2019 #41

I know Bill liked him after he talked to him marlakay Jun 2019 #42

Yes, he can still like him while believing he's too young to be president. BannonsLiver Jun 2019 #44

I understand Bill and actually like him marlakay Jun 2019 #47

Yeah I like Bill too, though he's been kind of a drag lately. BannonsLiver Jun 2019 #48
