A Candidate’s Last-Ditch Plea

Per Fox News:

Buttigieg Warns Dems Against a “Rush” To Nominate Sanders; Rips “Inflexible, Ideological Revolution”

Isn’t that what the rest of the country has also been ripping? That tearing sound you hear is the country . . .

Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg reacted to Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders’ victory in the Nevada caucuses Saturday by pleading

“Pleading.” Heh heh. Such a winning strategy.

with Democrats against rushing to nominate the democratic socialist, suggesting doing so could prevent them from defeating President Trump.

Duh.

“Senator Sanders believes in an inflexible, ideological revolution that leaves out most Democrats, not to mention most Americans,” the former South Bend, Ind., mayor said.

“Admitted” might be more accurate.

“Before we rush to nominate Senator Sanders as our one shot to take on this president… let’s take a sober look at the consequences —

. . . apparently a swipe at Hillary Clinton . . .

Buttigieg is seeking to establish himself as Sanders’ chief rival, as establishment Democrats fret over the possibility that Sanders may not be able to be stopped on his path to the Democratic nomination.

🙂

“Senator Sanders’ revolution has the tenor

Well, five’ll get you that tenor

of combat, division, and polarization, a vision where whoever wins the day, nothing will change the toxic tone of our politics.”

Who the heck talks like that?

“We can prioritize either ideological purity or inclusive victory.”

In other words, “what we believe” is not quite as good as “what we can pretend to believe to achieve victory.”

“I believe the only way to truly deliver any of the progressive changes

… and here we’ll go back to being scripted, boring, and confusing to any remaining listeners …

we care about is to be a nominee who actually gives a damn about the effect you are having, from the top of the ticket, on those crucial, front-line House and Senate Democrats running to win, who we need to win, to make sure our agenda is more than just words on a page,” he said.

Hey, Democrats know something about ripping those, too.

But Buttigieg’s remarks drew backlash from at least one Democrat: New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio.

“And hey @PeteButtigieg,” de Blasio wrote on Twitter, “try not to be so smug when you just got your ass kicked.”

Darn it! I could have summed up this whole article in just those 13 words.

Others accused Buttigieg of trying to mimic the oratory style of former President Baracak [sic] Obama.

!

Nice spelling.

  1. Oh, oh! I’m looking for something to “happen” to Buttigieg now. It won’t, however, be sexual harassment charges from a female like what has happened with Chris Matthews who also made the mistake of being critical of Bernie Sanders. It’s just a matter of time now Mayor Pete.
