Joe doesn't know it yet, but very soon Bernie Sanders is going to be the Vice Presidential pick.

Joebama is going to be worse than BO, if that's even possible.

Buttigieg was a good choice and will do well.

Bootygig's primary focus as Transportation Secretary:

BOOM!

Hopefully better than he was a running a city. He wasn't too good at that, apparently.

They all stabbed Sanders in the back a year ago when they conceded in the prelims. Sanders won't get a seat anywhere. They took one step back then, so they could take two steps forward later. The establishment won this year.

Honest question ....based on what evidence ?

He speaks well and seems very nice. He communicates well with people he likes or groups he likes.

But that's about it.

Buttigieg is a graduate of Harvard College and Oxford University, attending the latter on a Rhodes Scholarship. He was a consultant at the management consulting firm McKinsey from 2007 to 2010. From 2009 to 2017, he was an intelligence officer in the United States Navy Reserve, attaining the rank of lieutenant.

Trumps choice was a full blooded Chinese. OMG!!!!!


Just kidding. I thought she was a good choice. Not sure about the CS. He is highly educated and does have experience running an office.

Mayor Pete is really sweet. He can get in my foxhole just any ole time! LOLOLOL!!!!

The folks on Fox News seem to love Mayor Pete. They seem to have him on there all the time.
Maybe their audience doesn't know he's gay. Maybe they think he is just unusually polite.

Or maybe they dont care and arent obsessed thinking and wondering what others do in their homes.

Why does it matter if he's gay?

Shouldn't someone in charge of transportation go both ways?

Only Democrats could turn transportation into something racist

LOL - the love fest w/ the press & Democrats is going to be entertaining.
Sounds like Pete has some excellent qualifications for this job.

I like to take Caribbean cruises, but that doesn't qualify me to be Secretary of the Navy.

I see you're not familiar with USDOT policies in the 50s-70s that put highways through historically black neighborhoods and segregated major cities. It seems crazy to think about now, but many of the routes highways take through major cities had a lot to do with the racial makeup of the areas on either side of the line at the time.

Well not intentionally, but sounds kind of like it, doesn't it..

What I meant about the last thing I said, saw him speak with a group of black constituents in his city, he was flat out poor at it. He was awkward and very uncomfortable. Seemed like he probably grew up in a wealthy to upper middle class, fairly privileged environment and hadn't the skill to communicate well with someone not like himself.

Because a lot of posters on this thread are homophobic.

Pete Buttigieg, President-elect Biden's pick for transportation secretary, said he has "a personal love of transportation," recounting train trips on Amtrak while in college, and said he proposed to his now-husband, Chasten, in an airport terminal. https://t.co/0t3cUASIAU

Seemed to be a big deal to the media. They were pointing out how historic it was. If I were writing the story, then I would have kept it out and talked about how even a failed mayor of small city in Indiana can be a cabinet-level advisor to the President.

The poor blue-check SJWs have to accept the fact that it was the bigoted, homophobic Donald Trump that appointed the first openly gay person to a cabinet position.

And the Trump appointment is actually a serious, competent person.

Not sure why this is an issue, I don't thing you believe it is because, It really isn't. He seems like a really nice guy, this is a position where he will deal with other well heeled individuals and not have to try and communicate directly with folks from the hood, where he was clearly out of his element.

He was a good political opponent and he is being rewarded. That is very common. Let's not make his being gay an issue either positive or negative, let his job performance be the only factor we look at.

You think a meme from Talladega Nights was serious?

But you know what is funny, the name - Chastain Buttigieg.

The gay-baiting title of this thread is unacceptable.

Old straight white guy who thinks people's prefs are none of my business as long as they aren't doing something pornographic in public.

A gay man in charge of transportation is exactly what this country needs as many of our nation's tunnels are in need of repair.

He won. By more than 7 million votes.

I said I don't think you believe it is, for a few it seems to be a real big issue though.
