+1. It is a legitimate and important issue dalton99a Feb 2020 #6

Ditto. Ridiculous ad. I like what Mayor Pete did. Peregrine Took Feb 2020 #8

Joe is just being Joe, but goin after Pete like this, instead of on issues, is not a good look. InAbLuEsTaTe Feb 2020 #78

If it's factual, then it's fair. BusyBeingBest Feb 2020 #39

OMG This is savage! This Biden Ad just eviscerated Buttigieg. bluewater Feb 2020 #2

How does that ad unify our Party & satisfy the pledge Joe took? He should immediately retract it! InAbLuEsTaTe Feb 2020 #79

Isn't that just great - another attack ad. TheCowsCameHome Feb 2020 #3

Yep. Bloomberg is looking better and better. (n/t) SMC22307 Feb 2020 #59

Mike sure is in comparison to Joe, though I would have a difficult time InAbLuEsTaTe Feb 2020 #92

Its ads like this that divide Democrats & create bitterness; we cant afford 4 mo yrs of that dipshit InAbLuEsTaTe Feb 2020 #80

People are crying fowl, but what do they expect? Pete can be considered the front still_one Feb 2020 #76

I love this ad Gothmog Feb 2020 #10

I have to admit I laughed at Pete's accomplishments compared to Biden's. And I LIKE Pete. highplainsdem Feb 2020 #14

To me this ad speaks volumes on the differences between 2 candidates FloridaBlues Feb 2020 #19

Does this ad strike anyone else as full of code-word dog-whistles? Qutzupalotl Feb 2020 #11

Really overreaching. Sprucing up city infrastructe is something most mayors do. Biden highplainsdem Feb 2020 #16

You don't think he could have chosen things Qutzupalotl Feb 2020 #22

When the South Bend Tribune did a retrospective on Pete's accomplishments last spring, two of the highplainsdem Feb 2020 #33

"And the analysis can be colored -- or distorted -- by political leanings and personal experiences." Qutzupalotl Feb 2020 #61

It was NOT a dogwhistle. That accusation is ridiculous. highplainsdem Feb 2020 #72

I'm not the only person on this thread who thinks so. Qutzupalotl Feb 2020 #74

Btw, the company that did the lighting project quotes a NYT editorial referring to a "rainbow" highplainsdem Feb 2020 #50

Yes FreeState Feb 2020 #30

THIS. BlueWI Feb 2020 #114

The word "decorative" did, yes. David__77 Feb 2020 #37

See reply 33. "Decorative" is the word the South Bend Tribune used. highplainsdem Feb 2020 #38

I can see how some, like yourself, might me offended... it's a bad ad for a whole host of reasons InAbLuEsTaTe Feb 2020 #86

I didn't interpret it that way at all. Sapient Donkey Feb 2020 #101

Another broken promise from the Biden campaign. Disgusting. denem Feb 2020 #12

and right after Buttigieg did heavy lifting in the debate for Biden by smacking down the Hunter BS Celerity Feb 2020 #15

Joe must have been so thankful for Adelante Feb 2020 #44

Yeah... great point! InAbLuEsTaTe Feb 2020 #89

Yep. That ad is obnoxious... SMC22307 Feb 2020 #62

The ad is already backfiring bigtime as it goes viral... bad move on Joe's part! InAbLuEsTaTe Feb 2020 #90

Was Biden ever in a situation where he had to deal first-hand with a mass shooting... SMC22307 Feb 2020 #102

Excellent points SMC... I expect Joe will backtrack & pull the ad, if he doesn't drop out first. InAbLuEsTaTe Feb 2020 #103

Agreed, this ad stinks Devil Child Feb 2020 #20

Yep. Desperation by Joe. Beneath him. Sad. Funtatlaguy Feb 2020 #53

The Biden Inevitability was a false premise to begin with MarcA Feb 2020 #71

It sure was!! InAbLuEsTaTe Feb 2020 #93

"Sad" is the right word... I might even go so far as to call it "shameful" InAbLuEsTaTe Feb 2020 #87

Is anyone surprised by this?!?! InAbLuEsTaTe Feb 2020 #110

Disgusting ad n/t Devil Child Feb 2020 #17

Very disappointing AngelicaHora Feb 2020 #18

I agree. I lost a lot of respect for Biden. I am thinking of donating now to Pete... SWBTATTReg Feb 2020 #28

LOL, I had two friends who said the same thing... and while they were not voting for Joe anyway InAbLuEsTaTe Feb 2020 #88

Worrying sign for his campaign if he's going full attack mode Kentonio Feb 2020 #21

Desperation, writ large, denem Feb 2020 #23

Desperation, no doubt, so much for party unity, poisonous ad Baclava Feb 2020 #57

THIS!! But what choice did Joe have, but to go on the attack?! Fortunately, it's backfirin bigtime!! InAbLuEsTaTe Feb 2020 #105

just a flesh wound ? denem Feb 2020 #108

I was thinkin of that Monty Python skit after the results in Iowa... funny coincidence! InAbLuEsTaTe Feb 2020 #109

I tend to agree. Ive actually defended Biden several times. Not anymore. He lost me. nt Quackers Feb 2020 #26

Especially since Biden's best hope at this point is that Buttigieg wins New Hampshire. Garrett78 Feb 2020 #27

I agree, and might toss in Klobuchar as a beneficiary as well, especially if she comes out on top Celerity Feb 2020 #68

Yes, this questionable move may give Bloomberg the boost he needs for those lookin to replace Joe InAbLuEsTaTe Feb 2020 #91

Would Pete prefer an ad highlighting his racial record as Mayor? This ad is just fine. Skya Rhen Feb 2020 #29

You mean like Joe's record opposing busing for desegregation? nt Quackers Feb 2020 #36

Oh, my bad - the ad does touch on Pete's racial record. All bases covered and all facts reported. Skya Rhen Feb 2020 #43

That would have made a helluva lot more sense actually BeyondGeography Feb 2020 #42

Hey, I like the pet chips and the bridge lighting and nicer sidewalks BeyondGeography Feb 2020 #31

I don't think those things were trivial for the city of South Bend. BusyBeingBest Feb 2020 #41

I love it!! aeromanKC Feb 2020 #32

Wow. Hadn't thought of that comparison, but I see what you mean. Of course Pete is highplainsdem Feb 2020 #40

Unpleasant viewing, but makes the point. Raven123 Feb 2020 #45

Not a good idea. mysteryowl Feb 2020 #46

It was a TERRIBLE idea... the ad's gone viral in a very negative way. It's over for Joe. InAbLuEsTaTe Feb 2020 #106

Ahh geez a second one.. seriously.. Peacetrain Feb 2020 #48

This is an attack ad melman Feb 2020 #58

It's incredible that we have to debate the fact that Joe's attack ad is an attack ad... InAbLuEsTaTe Feb 2020 #104

It's a nasty ad. But effective. Drunken Irishman Feb 2020 #49

Excellent ad. I wonder if anyone will get into the gentrification of South Bend, too? George II Feb 2020 #51

they cannot, because it was spun-up bollocks Celerity Feb 2020 #65

Gentrification is an unfair accusation being leveled here. Displacement is also an unfair ... SWBTATTReg Feb 2020 #112

Good. SaschaHM Feb 2020 #56

I didn't watch the debate, but I was reading Buttigieg defended Biden with Hunter. Did you watch? krissey Feb 2020 #97

Ouch! That's gonna leave a mark. nt zackymilly Feb 2020 #63

Team Biden better watch it... SMC22307 Feb 2020 #64

Besides, he's probably better off with Buttigieg winning NH than Sanders doing so. Garrett78 Feb 2020 #73

I like Mayor Pete Bayard Feb 2020 #66

You could be right, but that doesnt necessarily justify Joe's unfair ad campaign against Mayor Pete. InAbLuEsTaTe Feb 2020 #95

What a piece of shit ad. I was ready to stop it when they got to the pets. krissey Feb 2020 #75

I wouldn't call it a "piece of shit ad" as you did, but it certainly is offensive InAbLuEsTaTe Feb 2020 #82

I was really bothered by the ad. I am off to bed. Maybe I will not be so bothered in the morning. krissey Feb 2020 #84

I hear ya, it bothers me too, tremendously, and Joe should pull the ad immediately off the air. InAbLuEsTaTe Feb 2020 #85

Biden's desperate now, duforsure Feb 2020 #77
