Sorry man, he's deep in the big donor money.

Mr. Buttigieg had more than 230,000 new donors in the second quarter, bringing his total to more than 400,000, his campaign said. The average contribution over the course of his campaign has been $47.42, according to his team. His campaign said it now had more than $22.6 million in cash on hand. Of that, $832,000 is earmarked for the general election and cannot be used in the primary.

“This fund-raising report shows that Pete’s message is resonating with Americans, and it’s proof that we are building an organization that can compete,” Mike Schmuhl, his campaign manager, said in an early-morning email to supporters announcing the fund-raising total.

You must’ve used a Huff source. The skeptical homosexual or something.

Well, if 3% of the population is gay, and they all gave $2, there you have your $22 million.

Something I've liked about Pete all along is that he isn't afraid to accept responsibility for when government fails us. He took responsibility for the short-comings of his police department in South Bend. He said he could have done better. And he proposes solutions and discussion on what can be improved.

This is what we should have in a politician. Plus all the other reasons he is a viable, strong candidate. He didn't raise all that money because he is an idiot.

CHICAGO -- Mayor Pete Buttigieg was just one of the presidential candidates to address the 2019 Rainbow PUSH Coalition Convention on Tuesday.

Unless he gets a piece of the black vote, he truly doesn't have a chance.

Pete Buttigieg Fired South Bend’s Black Police Chief. It Still Stings.
Black Democratic lawmaker on Buttigieg: 'Pete has a black problem'

“You’re running for president and you want black people to vote for you?” the woman said. “That’s not going to happen.”

“Ma’am, I’m not asking for your vote,” Buttigieg responded.

When presented with Buttigieg’s comments, Fudge told the Daily Beast that they depict a sense of “arrogance” and “entitlement.”

Well that math doesn't work out. $47 bucks on average. So either some gay dudes are giving extra, or he is actually reaching all types of people. He didn't go from no-name mayor in Indiana to top five in Democratic polls by accident in sixth months. He's going to climb in the polls as this primary continues because he is a solid candidate.

Next Democratic debate Circus will start early as CNN announces live televised Lottery to determine which candidates will square off on which night

CNN is planning to hype its upcoming Democratic presidential debate with a live televised lottery to determine which candidates will appear onstage together.

The debates, which are stocked with governors, senators, a former vice president, an entrepreneur, and a self-help guru, are set to air from Detroit on two consecutive nights at the end of the month.

This should be interesting, similar to buying scratch off lottery tickets.

When he gets on the ground in South Carolina and expands his campaign there, he will be fine. He's already expanding his campaign in Iowa and New Hampshire thanks to the cash from last quarter. People just need to hear his message and ideas.

He also killed more Muslims then perhaps anyone in history but he is a dirty secret Muslim who wanted to sell us out.

Correction. Barry didn't pull the trigger one single time. He just happened to be in office while JSOC got the job done.

It’s whatever you want it to be. Just let him know and he’ll tell you what you want to hear. He’s very “fluid”.

Pete Buttigieg needs black and Latino support to win. Here's why that could be a problem.

His homosexuality will kill him in the end sadly. He won't get the older Hispanic vote because of their social conservative nature. This could change at anytime however. He's going to have to siphon from Bernie or Biden, and I can tell ya he's not siphoning from Bernie.

Nobody is siphoning any votes from Bernie except for Warren, and his hardcore supporters will never abandon him even in the general (Bernie Bros. are a part of the reason we have Trump). Pete has to draw centrist Dems from Biden and Kamala. Gonna be tough, no question.

The only way change like this happens is from the ground up. The third party would have to win on the state and local levels.

Since we became a two party system, independents and third parties have simply stripped votes from the party closest in identity and delivered it to the other party. The surest way to flip the presidency back to the Dems is to run a conservative independent or third party candidate. If we had coalitions like Parliamentary systems it could turn out differently, but we don't.

Alyssa Milano: Jeb Bush Should ‘Seriously’ Consider Challenging Trump

Left-wing actress turned activist Alyssa Milano thinks former Florida governor and failed Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush should “seriously” consider launching a presidential bid against President Trump.

And that's why Hollywood types have no business giving anybody direction about much of anything.

Man, Justin Amash is the new golden boy of VolNation the last few days lol.
Agreed that no one will supplant Trump running as a Republican, the Red Hats are too loyal. I kind of hope Amash runs as an Independent/Libertarian. He'll pull votes from Trump, so hopefully we will get a center left President out of it.

No, you'll get whoever the Dims run ... and there will be plenty of left and no center about it.

It definitely will be interesting because we both know Biden is going to tank very soon.

Bernie and Warren are really the only far left (as far as American politics are concerned) candidates. Most everyone else that stands a chance at the nomination in center-left.

Kamala promises black people reparations and home ownership. Booker and Beto try to out-Hispanic the other. Buttwhatever panders to anyone to buy a vote. Creepy joe is right there.
