Biden calls nominating Buttigieg "a risk" [View all] bluewater Feb 2020 OP

Buttigieg certainly is a risk, as a woman Warren is a risk. krissey Feb 2020 #1

I do believe it's a risk to be just straight up with you zackymilly Feb 2020 #2

The country's not ready for a woman president? A gay man or a democratic socialist? Doremus Feb 2020 #22

If Horizens Feb 2020 #76

Remember a similar arguement against Barack OBama. William769 Feb 2020 #27

JFK also.. I believe he was the first Cathloic to run for the office mitch96 Feb 2020 #73

Amen TheRealNorth Feb 2020 #77

Nobody thought the country was ready for a black man named Barack Hussein Obama either Bradshaw3 Feb 2020 #30

We don't have any Obamas running this time unfortunately redstateblues Feb 2020 #56

You forget Obama wasn't beloved by all at this time of the primary Bradshaw3 Feb 2020 #97

Wow! MoonchildCA Feb 2020 #33

What a great Democratic stump speech! NOT. BlueWI Feb 2020 #40

Buttigieg is definitely a risk to Biden. Ron Green Feb 2020 #3

Thank you! GMTA! CaliforniaPeggy Feb 2020 #7

That made me smile for the first time today TheRealNorth Feb 2020 #17

Biden and his supporters have begun to sound a little desperate. (NT) ripcord Feb 2020 #66

We only hear what we need to. We ignore listening to that which does not suit us. LanternWaste Feb 2020 #103

Good point. I'm ok with saying someone provides a greater risk of losing to Trump... thesquanderer Feb 2020 #4

I hope he was not saying that. I would agree with you that I am comfortable with Buttigiegs krissey Feb 2020 #9

In a sane world. Pete would apprentice himself to Biden for four years as VP. rzemanfl Feb 2020 #5

Or Pete could pick Biden, Warren or Klobuchar as BP. Blue_true Feb 2020 #15

Biden has all those African-American votes the party needs. rzemanfl Feb 2020 #18

Back to the black firewall argument. BlueWI Feb 2020 #42

It would have worked fine in Wisconsin if it weren't for Repuke voter supression and rzemanfl Feb 2020 #45

Agreed that voter suppression is a factor BlueWI Feb 2020 #60

Both Bernie and Pete are very weak with POC. It's just a fact redstateblues Feb 2020 #57

Just a fact is an oversimplification. BlueWI Feb 2020 #63

The black vote will overwhelming go to whomever the Democratic nominee is. Meadowoak Feb 2020 #91

True. BlueWI Feb 2020 #95

Wow, I totally disagree, flman saidsimplesimon Feb 2020 #54

Then why, pray tell, did Drumpf pull that whole "investigate the Bidens" stunt that ate up rzemanfl Feb 2020 #62

Buttigieg is better than Trump or Sanders... I could support him easily if he were our nominee. NurseJackie Feb 2020 #6

A mid city mayor bucolic_frolic Feb 2020 #8

So would a 4th place showing in Iowa. William769 Feb 2020 #28

No, not quite bucolic_frolic Feb 2020 #32

"No one can add to Pete's resume anything that is not already there" Um, incorrect. bluewater Feb 2020 #49

Does only beating Biden count on his resume? R B Garr Feb 2020 #88

You mean those republicans... MoonchildCA Feb 2020 #36

Yes, and since laws don't apply to them, they will make it stick bucolic_frolic Feb 2020 #37

The last guy that got elected had no political experience. BlueWI Feb 2020 #43

No, not quite bucolic_frolic Feb 2020 #46

Where are the unity police? melman Feb 2020 #10

I agree with Biden. In this crucial situation, Mayor Pete is a risk. madibella Feb 2020 #11

why sure... myohmy2 Feb 2020 #35

Are you saying Pete Buttigieg is unqualified to run as our nominee? bluewater Feb 2020 #51

"unqualified" myohmy2 Feb 2020 #55

Since Pete is qualified, what is this "risk" you are agreeing with Joe about? bluewater Feb 2020 #58

read #35... myohmy2 Feb 2020 #69

In post 35 you compare Pete to TRUMP!!!!! bluewater Feb 2020 #70

Joe should know better, but he has no choice. Blue_true Feb 2020 #13

So it's a risk to run Buttigieg demofan40 Feb 2020 #14

Pete's risk is here in 2020. Four years is four years away. bucolic_frolic Feb 2020 #34

I don't... myohmy2 Feb 2020 #16

I think Pete should know better than to start with his comments. FloridaBlues Feb 2020 #19

So Pete shouldn't defend himself? demofan40 Feb 2020 #20

Next we will hear from the Biden folks something about 3 AM phone calls. TheRealNorth Feb 2020 #31

Pete's less of a risk than Biden. IMO Autumn Feb 2020 #21

Some people act like they've never experienced a primary election before. phleshdef Feb 2020 #23

Is this Biden donor talking shit? ChubbyStar Feb 2020 #44

That has nothing to do with anything I said. phleshdef Feb 2020 #61

Sorry this Biden donor just laid it out for you ChubbyStar Feb 2020 #64

I'm a Biden donor. That means nothing to me nor has any relevance to anything I said. phleshdef Feb 2020 #65

No dear you are fighting me which means I have won. ChubbyStar Feb 2020 #67

I'm not fighting anyone. We aren't even talking about the same topic. phleshdef Feb 2020 #68

It's understandable. William769 Feb 2020 #24

You made me laugh. krissey Feb 2020 #25

Thanks. William769 Feb 2020 #29

any one of them is a risk ibegurpard Feb 2020 #26

Every candidate is a risk Generic Brad Feb 2020 #38

If Bernie had said this, it'd be called desperation & divisive specially w/ Iowa's 4th place finish InAbLuEsTaTe Feb 2020 #39

So when it comes time for Biden to endorse Buttigieg... SMC22307 Feb 2020 #41

Maybe he could poke him in the chest and grab his jacket while endorsing ChubbyStar Feb 2020 #50

LOL SMC22307 Feb 2020 #52

Fuck yeah and they did ChubbyStar Feb 2020 #53

So Pete said Biden is too much of old Washington and needs R B Garr Feb 2020 #47

The only ones who haven't congratulated Pete are R B Garr Feb 2020 #48

This post sounds like a distraction TheRealNorth Feb 2020 #71

Your concern for Sanders is noted.... R B Garr Feb 2020 #75

Fine with me TheRealNorth Feb 2020 #89

Your numerous posts about poor Bernie are noted. R B Garr Feb 2020 #90

Post removed Post removed Feb 2020 #92

Yes, I've seen your paragraphs of insults, too. R B Garr Feb 2020 #93

Amd here is the, possibly, actual whistler162 Feb 2020 #59

It's also a risk because he's gonna have a tough time in the swing states. They are all that MATTER UniteFightBack Feb 2020 #72

Pete did very well in the swing counties in Iowa. bluewater Feb 2020 #74

Pete did better than Biden with POC in IA too FreeState Feb 2020 #78

I could make a snarky remark TheRealNorth Feb 2020 #79

Not a good look, Joe. OAITW r.2.0 Feb 2020 #80

Exactly TheRealNorth Feb 2020 #81

Luckily, I could give a shit about what Russian troll-bots tweet on Twitter. OAITW r.2.0 Feb 2020 #82

The more attention Pete gets the better he does BootinUp Feb 2020 #83

i agree with Biden. I'd prefer someone with national experience, except i'd be OK with Bloomberg. onetexan Feb 2020 #84

I agree w Biden. I think he is speaking the truth. I would love for America to Vivienne235729 Feb 2020 #85

Sounds like the only guy who isn't a risk Cuthbert Allgood Feb 2020 #86

SERIOUSLY!!! InAbLuEsTaTe Feb 2020 #87

I guess there's less risk being in the rear with the gear. jcmaine72 Feb 2020 #99

Good grief. earthside Feb 2020 #94

Mayor Pete lacks support in African American community Gothmog Feb 2020 #96

So our only choice is we have to vote Biden? I wanted Harris. Some say only Sanders. krissey Feb 2020 #98

Although I think Biden is our best bet against Trump I do believe comradebillyboy Feb 2020 #100

Buttigieg isn't going to be the nominee. J_William_Ryan Feb 2020 #101

So calling some one old and failed is valid, yet calling someone a risk ain't...? LanternWaste Feb 2020 #102

Attention to detail matters. bluewater Feb 2020 #104
