    Polls say at least half are but when it comes time to vote democrats may be in for a big surprise if Buttigieg is their candidate. Polls are notoriously inaccurate in situations such as this and I'm guessing Butt Boy would lose in a landslide. For one thing blacks votes are necessary for a democrat to win and as a group they are not as tolerant towards gays as white liberals. For another thing many people are likely not as open to a gay being president as they will tell a pollster.

    "Polls have a poor record on predicting behavior around social issues and disfavored groups."

    I’d vote for a gay if he/she was conservative. It’s all about their political views.

    Do they want to encourage illegal immigration or stop illegal immigration?

    Do they want more government involvement or less government involvement in our medical insurance?

    Do you think a gay president could deal effectively with Muslim countries and that they would take America seriously with a gay in the White House?
    Personally I do not

    Makes you wonder, as First Man would his spouse go to luncheons with other spouses, would he grace the cover of Vanity Fair and would they comment on his clothing choice. I bet the MSM would fawn over him like they did for the last First Man..............Snare/Cymbal.

    Even if America was ready for this I don't think the world at large is. It's just a bridge too far.

    If they can take Trump seriously, they can take a gay guy seriously.

    I do not see gay behavior as unbecoming to a role model. When Peter kisses his lover in public....it makes my skin crawl. I am not alone.

    When people start paying attention, they'll figure out Pete is gay and his father was a big time Marxist.

    His candidacy will go down faster than the Titanic.

    I've never been in favor of gay marriage. And a gay president is not optimal for several reasons. But I'd take a gay conservative president over a heterosexual socialist any day.

    He was in our military, unlike the wimp commander in chief bone spurs who avoided military service like it was the plague.

    Apples to oranges and I doubt blacks appreciate the comparison.

    From what I've seen, blacks become irate at the comparison.

    I'm much more concerned about his education, his contacts, and how he got into the military as a commissioned officer without ROTC or OCS.

    Well, the world got used to Trump, and the world now knows how big his ass and ego really are. I venture to say they would welcome anyone other than Trump too.

    The only reason the village mayor is even in the race is because he's gay. That's liberal fear at offending their base. There is simply no other explanation when the former mayor of NYC is around, this is about identity politics, nothing to do with qualifications. That nonsense might fly with rabid progs but will fail in the general election. All that still requires he beats Comrade Bernie...

    If by "people" you meant "Trump supporters"

    Democrats tend to be far too intelligent to give a crap...

    Yeah, so intelligent with your fancy math and readin' and such.

    That's why you haven't been able to tally the votes in Iowa....and it has been what, 9 days?

    No! :flagus: is not ready for sodomy in the White House between
    consenting adults.
    The Butt would poison any placement on the ticket.

    Leviticus 20:13
    If a man has sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They are to be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads.

    Okay no ones really wish to stone them,
    but with holding a vote is another matter.

    We've already had gay presidents. We've had several closeted gay presidents.
