96. I took it in the manner it was intended - it was arrogant and offensive

and the woman that he said it to was offended as well. As she said, he will not be getting her vote and I can assure you that he just lost a good chunk of whatever AA votes that he might have gotten.

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

IMO trev Jun 2019 #90

I don't think the AA demographic is going to go for him, no matter what. Honeycombe8 Jun 2019 #93

Exactly. Agree 100% nt helpisontheway Jun 2019 #109

Older AA were never going to vote for him because he is gay. Nt helpisontheway Jun 2019 #107

he is too young anyways. he needs more experience JI7 Jun 2019 #3

I disagree with that opinion. trev Jun 2019 #95

i think if he had been a member of congress or held some higher position it might be different JI7 Jun 2019 #115

I agree. trev Jun 2019 #118

It may be a plus that he doesn't come from Congress. Honeycombe8 Jun 2019 #119

LOL pangaia Jun 2019 #28

ONe maybe too old and one maybe too yuung. brush Jun 2019 #36

If this is a blunder? I would have to say it is his first Perseus Jun 2019 #64

Just wanted to point out it that this would not be his first blunder tulipsandroses Jun 2019 #79

the all lives matter stuff was back in March 2015, and he used it once Celerity Jun 2019 #92

LOL @ the Whataboutism tulipsandroses Jun 2019 #101

not everything is whataboutism Celerity Jun 2019 #105

Nothing to do age, he just didn't handle it well. marylandblue Jun 2019 #38

it may well be a big nail in his coffin, I am not going to deny it, but any politician, especially Celerity Jun 2019 #40

I think he's stuck between a rock and a hard place with this unexpected situation Indygram Jun 2019 #102

the clip only shows the truly heated part, and yes, it did end much better than one would Celerity Jun 2019 #111

There actually is a significant difference in the two phrases in question ... mr_lebowski Jun 2019 #60

I took it in the manner it was intended - it was arrogant and offensive Skya Rhen Jun 2019 #96

Take it however you like ... mr_lebowski Jun 2019 #98

LOL, nice try! nt USALiberal Jun 2019 #80

True that! FloridaBlues Jun 2019 #48

oldsoftie? Someone is using your handle. rzemanfl Jun 2019 #62

Probably true. trev Jun 2019 #65

Thanks for this clarification. Context is important. But it didn't R B Garr Jun 2019 #86

I don't know... she was bringing up the election, so saying he wasn't asking for her vote sounded JudyM Jun 2019 #103

I saw the video & thought his comment was brusque and surprising. appalachiablue Jun 2019 #8

In all fairness, when I read about this exchange, my understanding was that he meant he was not emmaverybo Jun 2019 #11

He was in SC today and spoke. He wasn't there last night for the fish fry/ brush Jun 2019 #19

I wish the same argument used on O'Rourke would be used on Buttigieg. RLG Jun 2019 #22

he is from Indiana so little chance if winning anything statewide there JI7 Jun 2019 #27

So, he shouldn't try again? RLG Jun 2019 #49

maybe a congressional seat but not statewide in Indiana JI7 Jun 2019 #51

Which narrowly went to Obama in 2008. RLG Jun 2019 #116

that was because of the economic disaster we were in at the time JI7 Jun 2019 #117

and his congressional district has been gerrymandered into a safe Rethug one (quelle surprise) Celerity Jun 2019 #53

maybe his husband comes from an area he would do better in JI7 Jun 2019 #56

Chasten is from Traverse City, Michigan, in another ruby red congressional (gerrymandered ffs) Celerity Jun 2019 #75

Any officer that turns off their camera should be fired automatically. No excuses or second chances. LonePirate Jun 2019 #33

He didn't turn it off, the issue is he didn't turn it on. mobeau69 Jun 2019 #45

Seems the issue is it should've been on. brush Jun 2019 #50

That's the whole point of the investigation and the consideration of policy changes! mobeau69 Jun 2019 #58

I believe the rules in place were that he was supposed to turn it on. marylandblue Jun 2019 #88

If he didn't turn it on or if he turned it off, the outcome should be the same - fired from his job. LonePirate Jun 2019 #73

Next it will be Biden read from a script instead of off the cuff FloridaBlues Jun 2019 #52

That is some way of turning a simple answer to something bigger Perseus Jun 2019 #59

It must be difficult to be a candidate trev Jun 2019 #67

Biden is a pro politician, Buttigieg is not Perseus Jun 2019 #74

Hm. I'm not sure that either answer actually answered anything. trev Jun 2019 #89

He seems to have handled the past situation with the Black police cheif poorly also. Blue_true Jun 2019 #70

He didn't turn it off. The issue is he didn't turn it on. mobeau69 Jun 2019 #77
