    Listen to this video... it is the cutest I have ever watched!



    So, what do you think?
    I could fall in love with him, except he is... ahem... how can I say this nicely... not interested in me, a woman
    , even if I was 60 years younger!

    Isn't the United States of America due for a kinder gender as President? I hope he will win!! He would be the opposite of Trump, though.

    DARE, AMERICANS! You don't have much to lose anymore. Pete would much improve your tainted image out there in the world, of that I am sure.
    Btw., he speaks 8 (eight) languages, but no German = too difficult!

    He's not any more likely to beat Trump, but I think Trump v Biden debate will be FAR more entertaining. Trump v Buttigieg would be worse than watching paint dry.

    He's a young talent. He needs a little time in Congress or a governors seat or in a cabinet post before he goes after bigger game.

    Trump vs Biden would be sad, not interesting. Trump would just bully "sleepy Biden", and he would have no effective comebacks. He would just look feeble and incompetent next to Trump. Maybe this is why Trump is so elated that Biden is the front runner. Why are we doomed to keep making the same obvious mistakes over and over again? You are giving Trump his second term on a platter.The only totally one-sided debate, would be between Major Gabbard, and Donald Trump. It would be like watching a mother arguing with a 3 year old. It would just be embarrassing for Trump, and he knows it. Just ask Ryan and Harris.

    I literally said the same thing in 2016. I made a thread about it. I predicted they would run biden and I predicted another term because of that. Biden and any Obama admin lameduck will lose to Trump.

    Gabbard would be interesting however she dips into socialist agendas which would REALLY cause more of a divide in the US. However, her and I agree strongly on most of her foreign policy.

    I think Gabbard might be a strong VP pick for any ticket. Good military background. Martial arts instructor. Conservative enough on some issues.

    And it would be hilarious to see a debate between her and Pence ... Pence would have to bring his wife along so as not to be "tempted".

    Yea but gabbard is 100% what the moderate Dems and many indy's (right-leaning that were against Trump) are against...she leans to socialism and supported Bernie in 2016.

    As much as I think she deserves a shot given how we agree on more than I agree with anyone else on the left on FP, the regular Dems won't want socialism on the ticket because it guarantees Trump another term. I'd be VERY surprised if any socialist-leaning Dems make the ticket at all. I think Biden and (insert safe DNC choice here).

    And if it werent for Gabbards abandonment of the 2A, signing any gun control nonsense she sees in front of her, she might even be my pick over Trump. If she can loosen up about guns, she'll be a great president.

    Ill be giving Trump his second term by voting for him. Others are giving him his second term by their addiction to establishment shill mouthpieces like Biden and Harris.

    That is my impression. Of course, I could be 150% wrong, but I have yet to come across a gay bully.

    When you hear them have to divert to the "vote for me because Trump is a racist white supremacist" you know they are not worth voting for.

    The top six American male serial killers were all gay
    : Donald Harvey claimed 37 victims in Kentucky; John Wayne Gacy raped and killed 33 boys in Chicago, burying them under his house and in his yard; Patrick Kearney accounted for 32, cutting his victims into small pieces after sex and leaving them in trash bags along the Los Angeles freeways

    I think there are a few things that need to be addressed. Pete Buttigieg is only corporate America's presentation of the meal. He is not the meal, he is just the expectation of what the meal might taste like. Because of Tulsi's bona fides, why should we settle for less, when we can have the best? What rational reason could justify her settling for VP? Especially, when this country is in desperate need of a leader, with her level of real command experience. A person that will put service above self. Socialism is the "boogeyman", corporate America uses to control how the masses think. Do you think if you asked 10 people what socialism is, that they would all give the same answer? But if you asked all of them if it was bad, and should be part of our democracy, everyone of them would say no. The same mind games are used to stigmatize people as "Putin Puppet", "Assad Apologists", "Russian Bots", "White Supremist", or WMD's sympathizers. Just Corporate propaganda to protect and continue promoting their own interest, and to keep the public ignorant. Socialism is simply when the Government(Fed.) owns and controls the production and dispersing of all goods and services. This clearly is not America. In fact there are no TRUE SOCIALIST Countries anywhere on this planet(not even China, Cuba, or Viet Nam). We live in a Democratic Socialist society(a mixture), where Universal Healthcare, Social Security, Veterans Benefits, Consumer Protection, Age Pensions, Food Stamp Programs, Environmental Protection, etc., are all socialist programs owned and controlled by the Government. These programs were all necessary to provide the equality, that our Constitution promises for all. So Socialism is only the "boogeyman" to the ignorant, not the informed. If you don't care what happens to the poor, the handicapped, our veterans, our pensions, an education for all children, food programs for the poor, healthcare for all, and many other government social programs, THEN YOU HATE THE SOCIALISM YOU'VE BEEN LIVING WITH ALL YOUR LIVES. So stop using socialism as an excuse to give us 4 more years under a narcissistic sociopath. We just won't make it.

    Her stand on Gun Control policies are rational and balanced. Why would any Gun Enthusiast question a combat Major about guns? https://www.tulsigabbard.org/tulsi-gabbard-on-gun-safety-legislation Maybe you can be more specific? Especially since the constitution prevents the Government from taking away people's guns. Also, why wouldn't we want someone who message reaches beyond tribal partisanship? Why is this bad? Don't we want to save Trillions of dollars to be used to help people here at home? Don't we want to stop wasting 100's of 1000's of lives on illegal and wasteful regime-change wars? Don't we want to stop the US crippling sanctions that are causing these refugee crisis's? Don't we want to go back into both nuclear treaties, to protect us from madmen like Trump, that have the power to destroy this planet? Or, do you think going to war with Iran, would not also include Russia and China?

    It's not just we have missed out on the opportunity to save ourselves from ourselves and our planet, but if this is how easy it is to control our narratives, then change is impossible. Tulsi was our last hope. She was smeared up the bra zoo, and not one person has voiced any moral outrage for that. In fact, it's the old, "I really like everything she says, but...", excuse to stay on the bandwagon. I think people only care about winning, not about what they are winning. I guess good judgement can only come from experience. it is unfortunate that a lot of that experience must come from bad judgement.

    Thanks for the enlightenment! I guess I haven't been around much.
    But back to Buttegieg... it is not his sexuality that impressed me, but his all around education and talents, plus his fairly good looks.
    On the other hand, as long as Israel comes first, it really doesn't matter much who is president. The "Deep State" will rule.

    Pete Buttigieg Hit With Campaign Finance Complaint From Watchdog Group

    A campaign finance watchdog has filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission alleging Pete Buttigieg’s campaign illegally coordinated advertising with a super PAC. . . .



    The ( )o( ) is Ticket Poison
    even as VP.
    Remember Sarah Palin.
    She cost McCain my vote.
    And I supported McCain before.
    His ObamaCare vote cemented his memory within Moi.

    McCain outlived his "time". :sniff:
    It Should Have Been McCain and not Bush, Jr.
