Mayor Pete is real fucking good at connecting with whoever he talks to. Def reminds me of Obama in that way.
I've heard Beto speak in person and felt the same way. No politician has connected with me like that since Obama did in '08.

I mean if I were to talk about my gripes with Howard Schultz that's where I would start.What a fucking dipshit. If you really believe in your message and have the means, why wouldn't you self fund? "I'm too morally pure to contribute to my own cause." Grifting grandstander FOH.
Excellent interview overall. Remarkable to hear an in-depth discussion on coming out from someone with a serious shot at the nomination (starting around 17:42).
Fox has it up on their channel:Anyone mind posting the Bernie townhall link?
I'm scared to open youtube because of Endgame spoilers LOOLOLOL
An article from POLITICO about Bernie with a positive headline?
Vice president mostly doesn't matter, but Stacy Abrams and Andrew Gillum are probably as good as Pete, and Harris and Castro are better than Beto and Biden.A Bernie / Pete ticket might be great, but that might hurt the diversity factor.
I hate how the most inspiring candidates are white males, because I can't help but feel that would decrease turnout.
Well good to hear the Beto tax filing error wasn't made in bad-faith, hopefully the headline won't be an issue going forward.
Oh, I hadn't thought about that. That does matter a lot but not in the way most people think of VP picks. I don't know who'd fit on that requirement.Based on Bernie's plan for budget reconciliation, I'd say his VP pick is as important as him being elected president.

I'm thinking Fox did this on purpose. They want to get more democratic town halls, so I believe they stacked the audience pro Bernie so they can entice more candidates.
Yea he walked all over those clownsThey said the audience was mixed with people from both sides.
Having said that, I don't think they'll be inviting Bernie back. He eviscerated Martha and Bret.

Call me crazy, and this is a statement made waaay too far in advance to be proven true any time soon, but that Town Hall kind of gave me feelings of undoing of the Fox news channel. Just ever so slightly. Like, hopefully MAYBE the start of it.I can't help but wonder what Roger Ailes would have thought of that town hall. His career launching achievement was coming up with Nixon's televised town halls, which he meticulously framed as pro-Nixon as possible, including audience selection and seating arrangement.

On the other hand, Fox News also has an interest in attracting outside viewers to their channel, which Bernie maybe still helped. But either way, it was definitely nothing but gains for Bernie.

I've said from the beginning I think he's too smart for the general electorate and I think being gay would make him a general election loser considering the states you have to win. He's awesome though and he could be a great VA secretary in the next admin.You know, I like Pete, and he's very eloquent and deeply intelligent and makes a lot of great in depth points. There is something about him though that I fear he will only track well with Liberal intellectuals.
I watched the msnbc interview and found myself tuning out WAAAAY too much, and if someone like me, who Buttigieg should be of prime interest to, is finding him hard to pay attention to; then I fear your average American is going to find his messaging uninspiring.
Did they bond over eating salad with a comb?I'm sure it couldn't be worse than her interview with notorious binder thrower Amy klobuchar
You could say the same think about the other candidates.Bernie hasn't faced a real attack yet, who knows what the GOP will find.
i've been hearing that Bernie got a rip of Endgame and has been seeding it on a russian torrent site per Putin's request. I think this is the end of the road for him unfortunately. Once you cross the Marvel stans, America's most faithful voting bloc, there's no coming back.Bernie was blasting Endgame spoilers on Fox News and the crowd loved it
That was my thought, he should be in the next democratic administration FOR SURE and probably be on policy detail.I've said from the beginning I think he's too smart for the general electorate and I think being gay would make him a general election loser considering the states you have to win. He's awesome though and he could be a great VA secretary in the next admin.
Maybe in the sense that the left is finally learning how to handle that environment, and in the sense that I think Roger Ailes was an actual evil genius when it comes to television and Fox News is bound to get increasingly less threatening without him.Call me crazy, and this is a statement made waaay too far in advance to be proven true any time soon, but that Town Hall kind of gave me feelings of undoing of the Fox news channel. Just ever so slightly. Like, hopefully MAYBE the start of it.
*Fingers crossed*
Can Bernie reveal the other 4 characters in the Smash Ultimate season pass? Or at least a Joker release date.Bernie was blasting Endgame spoilers on Fox News and the crowd loved it
He can. Voter Bernie for Joker in Smash.Can Bernie reveal the other 4 characters in the Smash Ultimate season pass? Or at least a Joker release date.
I need to lose this avatar dammit.

Shut. Up.

Not if Bernie is the nominee.
That's something that concerns me too but I dunno, when you put him in front of a crowd he really seems to shine. I remember when he first started gaining traction, I saw people saying "Sure, he's well-spoken in an interview environment, but can he deliver a rally speech that will get people fired up?" Honestly, I feel like he might actually be better in front of a crowd than in a one-on-one interview. His announcement speech yesterday was fantastic, and he had a rally today in Brooklyn that I'm watching through right now where he did a question-and-answer format instead of his usual stump speech and it's hard to deny that he has an innate talent for engaging his audience. (He's also addressing a lot of topics at this rally that he doesn't get asked about a whole lot, like the lack of diversity in his current base, racial inequality, criticisms of his 1,000 homes in 1,000 days initiative, Islamophobia, data privacy, gun regulation, etc. so it's worth a watch if you want to hear more from him)You know, I like Pete, and he's very eloquent and deeply intelligent and makes a lot of great in depth points.
