Pete Buttigieg Destroys another Fox New Host

This is why we need him as VP. Can any of the other white men over 50 on the short list do this? On Fox?

Pete would wipe the floor with him. I like Ben but he's not as quick and precise as Pete.

I would LOVE to see Pete debate Vance. Especially since Vance thinks he's got the lock on people from that part of the country. Pete would completely destroy him because of all the never Trumper stuff he said just a couple years ago. That excuse that he changed once he met Trump needs to be called out.

R18 It’s not that, it’s just that he adds no political equity to the ticket. And I like Pete a lot. The man is smart; I mean smart smart. He actually might be too smart to ever appeal to a nationwide audience but I digress. I definitely see Pete being at least Senator one day. But back to the Harris equation. Here is an analogy:

When Obama won the nomination, he wasn’t going to pick a Puerto-Rican American as has his VP. One that doesn’t have an extraordinary resume but is smart and like-able just because it would make history. The votes are including in each other. The latter minority was going to vote for the Obama or the Kamala anyway. This campaign is being pragmatic.

"Sooner or later, Fox News producers and hosts will learn a lesson: So far, several attempts to corner Pete Buttigieg with (what they believe are) clever questions has backfired. In honor of the Summer Olympics happening now in Paris, we’ll say this: Buttigieg is one of the nation’s most skilled political gymnasts."

But they also concluded this re his being selected as Harris' running mate:

"Harris confidants and allies remain skeptical about his chances, Politico reports. They anticipate Harris will be ruthlessly pragmatic about her selection, more likely to choose Gov. Josh Shapiro of critical Pennsylvania, or Sen. Mark Kelly of Arizona, a moderate Democrat from another key state. Of Buttigieg, one Harris insider said, 'I just don’t see it.'"

Same from Politico:

"But Harris confidants and allies remain skeptical about his chances, according to interviews with a half-dozen of them, all granted anonymity to speak freely. They anticipate she’ll be ruthlessly pragmatic about her selection, viewing other contenders from outside the Beltway as better positioned to deliver key states and constituencies.

Of Buttigieg, one said, “I just don’t see it.”

And even those around Buttigieg readily concede they view him as a longshot. He and Harris are both products of the Biden administration — not exactly screaming change — and Buttigieg carries some of the same baggage as Harris from their time in the administration. "

And there lies the mistake in their projection. Pete IS the pragmatic choice. His skills, intellect and ambition are far beyond the older white men. It's not a symbolic pick it's a practical one. The very same reason everyone coalesced around Kamala instead of an open convention.

You know what else that's called? Continuity. Funny thing is I read an article listing the pros and cons of all the possible VPs. They categorized being part of the same administration as a net positive. And that makes more sense since Biden has a very good record to brag about. Odd that Politico lists it as a negative.

R41 Good to see that you agree that no one would have given Pete the time of day if he weren't gay.

by Anonymousreply 50July 29, 2024 12:33 PM

There is no factual basis to claim Pete is any smarter or less ambitious than law school educated Beshear or Shapiro, who've both been elected governor or previously been atttorneys general. Skills as a talker, perhaps he is the best, but the counter to that is perhaps too good, because you can take it as slick. Plus, is a gay man with a woman of color a pragmatic choice in a country where support for gays and the rest of the alphabet is on the decline? Is this the moment? There's an identity-based insistence around Pete in a few of you that smells of the same "it's her turn" "I'm with her" tone deafness that led to the strategic errors of the HRC campaign and we all know what that got us. Harris is excellent. She's working, to the general astonishment (for many different reasons) of everybody. Ruthless pragmatism has to trump sentimentality at this moment for this ticket.

I do not support Pete for VP in this election, but I gotta support the argument being gay was just part of his initial novelty as an entrant in the 2020 campaign... the brashness of the mayor of South Bend running for President was a big part of it too.

And then he made his case so eloquently and argued it so nimbly. There is no arguing he's a rare communicator in American politics.

Nonetheless, he has neither a lengthy track record of accomplishment or plain old tenure to compete at this moment against the other contenders. He can build it and he should, but it's unlikely the situation will ever arise where a majority thinks what we need now is a really good talker, and certainly not now.

You lost your argument by saying having big tits is almost the same as being gay as far as opening doors go. Becuase no one says it might be too risky to put a blond on the ticket. Instead they would love it. By your logic, Pete would be so popular it would be a mistake not to make him VP.

He won Iowa--one of the whitest states--and then collapsed in South Carolina thanks to almost zero support from black voters

Fairly amusing debating points, but fully unconvincing. Having cringed through Biden's last desperate attempts, to witness someone plausibly considered 'the best' now feels like a blessed luxury. 'Slick' as a supposed downside of 'too good' in fact sounds like a homophobic dogwhistle from prehistoric times.

I doubt American gold medal winners in Paris will be shrugged off as 'too good.'

'Successful but robotic' is similarly unrealistic and nitpicking. Necessarily dismantling GOP dereliction so clearly and incisively doesn't require trivialising with a gag. Trump represents a clear and present danger to democracy, and PB is brilliantly pushing back against that with intelligence, logic and force.

I dont see the point of giving him a different job if he's already Secretary of Transpiration. Press Sec would be a real down grade. Maybe if he were giving a job on the military side of things. Or since he speaks several languages, he's professional, polite, sincere, something that deal more with foreign policy. Other countries like the kind that push gays off of buildings would suddenly have to deal with a powerful gay man with America backing him. He spent part of his time as a military intelligence officer.

Given that, he would seem ideally suited to handle press briefings, especially dealing with hostile reporters.

And as for using the Trump administration to say "Anyone can do that job" - while it's true that anyone can be hired for the job, it's not true that just anyone can do the job well.
