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

Joe goin negative, that's coo, but to say Mayor Pete's too risky... riiiiiight!! I would take Mayor Pete over Joe any day of the week and twice on Sunday!! Maybe it's time for Joe to be properly vetted... let's see how risky his candidacy would be.

But, thankfully, we have Bernie, who is the least risky candidate to take on the Corporate Socialist agenda of tRumpists who have shitted on the working class and poor folks in this country for long enough!!

We're not taking their crap anymore and the fuckin' crumbs they throw us! If we do, that's what's truly risky... people's very lives are at stake!! It's time to revolt and join Bernie in the fight against Corporate Socialism!!

Bernie/Elizabeth or Elizabeth/Bernie 2020!!
Either way, they're stronger together & can't be bought!!
Jump on the Bernie Bandwagon & join The Revolution!!

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

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
