What qualifies Pete Buttigieg to be President of the United States?

So after reading through this I see no strong reasons why Pete should even be still in the race. He is a novelty and that's it. I think the mayor of Pots Camp, MS should run in 2024. Just a qualified as Pete. Trump ran Billion dollar corporations. He understands business and finance and it is clear that his work on the economy has been a big plus for the country. ON top of that he now has 4 years experience at President and has a good record. The fact that democrats don't want to recognize it is purely politics. The numbers say he has done well. The Collusion, impeachment, Trump Dossier, FISA warrants, corrupt process in the FBI/DOJ investigations into Trump were all purely political. Democrats had their own President impeached and for an actual crime, lied in a federal court. But hey that doesn't count for democrats.
Without the dirty tricks of the democrats against Trump they would have no chance of a win in 2020. The democrat house is crumbling.

And that is your opinion
 
Still lying to peoples faces I see.

Which part is untrue? The popular vote and the House represent the people, the Senate and the Electoral College represent the States.
 
President of the Screen Actors Guild? LOL, sure, that qualified him to be the governor of a state with a GDP that places 5th in the entire world if California were an independent country.

Come on, Glitch. You can't be serious. What is the relevant executive experience of the President of the Screen Actors Guild? Trying to influence who the Academy nominates for the Oscar? Negotiating good contracts for the starlets who were willing to sleep with directors and producers to get hired to "act" (scantly clad) in mediocre movies? Managing the egos of spoiled brats who were big stars? LOL

As President of the Screen Actors Guild Reagan had to deal with anti-American communist scum. Which made him perfect for dealing with Democrats, and explains his two terms as a very popular Governor.
 
A pity you believe she said that.

She said something to the effect that you can see Russia from Alaska.

It isn't a pity, it is expected. Leftist freaks repeatedly demonstrate they are mentally unstable and have no grasp of reality. The prior poster did precisely that. A stereotypical reaction from the mentally unhinged.

Right wing extremists like palin belong in the dust bin of history
 
With all the hate out there, and people wanting to read hate...

Just how real is all that?

I know one headline was an outright lie.

Read it. There is no way I would consider the first three, Forbes, Fortune and Marketwatch to be left or liberal.

New Yorker? Sure.
 
Didn't the left complain about his qualifications? So now you totally disregard that and think a guy with very little experience at any higher level is OK? This is always the democrats way, complain about the other side and then do the same thing or worse. I'd say that Trump has much more financial experience than Pete. To think a major of a city of 100,000 has some special skill set is a bit of a stretch. I'm just saying that if you didn't think trump was qualified, then Pete sure isn't. Oh yeah, he has that one special quality that we can't talk about but that allows him to run. Obama had little experience either and democrats were fine with his lack of experience, not even one complete term in the Senate. But, you guys thought Trump had no qualifications.

Wow. I said all that? :lol:
 
He was mayor of a city of slightly over 100,000 for 8 years. He wants to control the largest economy in the world, the largest military in the world but what experience does he have that says this is a good bet?

not much

and he doesn't even know what gender he is supposed to marry
 
What qualified the present occupant of the WH?

Trump knows how to build things
knows how to operate a business
knows how to make the business successful
went to college
wrote a book or 2

what has buttgig done?

he certainly didn't run South Bend as it should have been run..

Trump has claimed corporate bankruptcy six times. He's been a horrible president. He has alienated all our allies and made friends with all our enemies. He has completed eviscerated his administration of any men who knew what the hell they were doing and replaced them with 'yes' men, people that don't know a thing about important stuff like ....national security!

He has better experience than a Senator or a VP who was a Senator before that. Time inside the beltway should count against you, imo.

Pulling out the ugly knives already, huh?

being gay is ugly (in the eyes of those who care what God thinks... but u dont have to be religious to realize that certain things are just perverse.. gross)

he has not

you must be watching fake news cnn

we know Trump is no saint (yet?)

but good grief... how unsaintly are those who are attacking him all the time... when he is doing a very good job (i have a few criticisms but he is going very well...)

I mean, it is sick... attacking a person who is doing good for so many people... There is something just EGREGIOUSLY wrong there..........

Not ugly in Pete's case. Would he be in the running still if he was a 37 year old heterosexual white male?

He meets the Constitutionally defined requirements - beyond that, it's up to the electorate. Trump became POTUS with no prior public service experience, was impeached and is running for re-election.

And he will win

My religion taught me not to judge others, 'Judge not, lest ye be judged. For with what judgement ye judge, you shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.'

You claim to know what God thinks and twist his teaching to Matthew, Mark, Luke and John to fit within the parameters of your hatred for others unlike yourself. You defy the word of God as spoken to prophets and apostles. That makes you are heretic.

Everyone's sex life is gross. That's why we keep it private.

You must be a voyeur. <shuts door> Mind your own business.
 
I see you guys are a bit ignorant of what it takes to run businesses, even if some fail.

I am well aware of what it takes to run a business and how trump runs his, I doubt you want to go down that pathway.

What qualified Donald Trump? Prior to running for president, he was a man that had half a billion given to him by his father, much of it he squandered, a self promoter, conman, and a reality TV host.

Tell you what, let's give Mayor Pete and Trump the ACT. I will kiss your ass and mine twice if Mayor Pete doesn't outscore Trump by 10 points or more.
