- Mayor Pete Buttigieg explains why he asked Police Chief Darryl Boykins, who is black, to resign after a controversy surrounding secret phone recordings while Buttigieg was in his first term as mayor of South Bend, Indiana. #Buttigieg #CNN #News
Im republican but when this guy speaks my jaw drops.....
You can still vote for him 😜. We have to forget parties and vote for who you think is best for the country
your pants drop. youre not a repibican
@@libertydefenders8276 You're right. He's an *intelligent* one. That's why you didn't recognize him as one of you.
Henry Philippeaux - bullying comments like this don’t help bridge the divide in this country. The current iteration of the Republican Party has strayed far from its past. It’s important that we connect to each other as people first and not define each other by political party.
Just don't drop to your knees.
I'm a conservative but this guy impresses me with how genuine he is.
Why
I’m a conservative who is sick and tired of the way Dems and mynside demonize each other. And the regressives on the left and Alt wrong (...er...Alt right) are even worse. He is authentic about reconciliation. I agree with many of his policies (see meetpete.org), but not all. Most importantly he wants to have an honest dialogue and bridge some gaps.
rhythmoriented I'm a left leaning moderate - and this dude seems like a good choice. He may not seem "liberal" enough to some democrats - but, like you said, bridge the gap of division sewn by Trump and reinforced by Democrats. ( I say trump is a divisive president because of his words and actions. He personally attacks and insults his opponents - instead of challenging their ideas). Someone who is respected by both sides of the isle could actually lead our nation.
@@quinnreverance611 & @rhythoriented, I would have thought that you guys might like somebody such as Andrew Yang more he appears to have appeal from both sides. He in my opinion is more articulate and analytical on the issues then Pete is.
@@quinnreverance611:
trump's dumb ass insults his opponents because frankly, he hasn't got plans or leadership experience period to back up anything he's saying. Because he really hasn't got any real plans for the country to move forward outside of his campaign promises (obviously he found out the hard way that most presidents can't keep all their campaign promises for various reasons.) That's why he's a joke.
Admittedly, when Mayor Pete first came on the public scene, I liked him, but was skeptical because of this very issue. This answer is BRILLIANT and HONEST and I'm so very glad that Buttigieg broke it down to make it all make sense.
After almost 4 years of alternative facts and bold faced lies, I'm hyponotised by this mans honesty.
I mean when you directly compare the two, you have a person who is trying (and continuously improving), and a person who is so not trying (and never improves). Even if the trying person fails here and there, you can always come back to the security of the fact that they are continuously improving.
@@surtu9221
Who are you speaking of?
He's not honest about his gender, and we'll one lie, is just another lie, and that lie, Ivan never look past. Sorry, not sorry. South Bend, wants you back.
This is THE first time i've seen a politician answer a tough question straight on... He ACTUALLY gave an answer. I'M SPEECHLESS!
He fired the whistleblower, demoted the chief, and fired the person who wanted to investigate. They had to settle with the whistleblower for 250 thousand. This guy is sketchy
so what your telling us is that your easily fooled with scripted events such as this??? it must be so hard to read lines. and easy to impress you with lies.
@@ateam6486 So what you're telling us is you accept HOMOSEXUALS?
Woah. It's so unusual to see someone answer so directly, I like it.
While technically he didn't lie (he hasn't listened to what was on the tapes) he knows exactly what is on the tapes because lawyers sent the transcripts to his office.
@@charleswarren1901 most people who're butthurt about the existence of gay people are secretly super gay and that makes post salty comments on social media.

@Atticus Finch Your comment, like that of all Trump supporting maga-morons, oozes illiteracy. Can't spell for shit, don't make sense, and is filled with incoherent douchebaggery.
He really didn't answer the question regarding foreign countries punishing homosexuality, though.

Another confused voter.
You're an idiot.
@@charleswarren1901 why?
Please do sir 🙂Thank you! for being open to the idea of him being in the 2020 election
He says he's all in for "abortion care"
"I wanted to date" is the most human thing I've ever heard a presidential candidate say.
Wow. The way this guy crafts his answers is stunning. He answers the question then backs it up with examples then manages hit home with something that just amazes!
yeah--but what's interesting is your used of that word, "crafts," which, to me, implies a process of pre-planning, designing, tailoring, perhaps even manipulating his audience/consumers, and so on. None of those things are happening here: what he's saying is coming directly from the forefront of his consciousness, and, I believe, his heart. Kinda' mind-blowing.
@@DannyEastVillage no make no mistake. Each and every word is meticulously chosen. That doesn't mean he's being disingenuous or untruthful but it would be foolish to think that this is off the cuff. The guy has a PPE from Oxford. He knows how to construct an argument and perform it eloquently.
JP BLACK oh wow PETE is so well spoken and spot on with his answers. lol. so was hitler STALIN and Mussolini.It don't mean shit you need to look at his record and policies.
@@mikematthews9564 lol no ..Stalin had such an heavy Georgian accent (dont confuse US Georga with Caucasus Georgia;-) that most russians couldnt understand him, while Mussolini was notoriously heavy worded and, when not, composed policy-free sentences like: "Our program is simple: we wish to govern Italy. They ask us for programs but there are already too many. It is not programs that are wanting for the salvation of Italy but men and will power"...now compare that to Buttigiegs answer!!!
I remember another smooth talking snake oil salesman by the name of Obuma who sold the brain dead Democratic voters a pile of crap for eight years. This one hit wonder mayor will be a long forgotten man by November.
When you aren't hiding anything you can answer any question with honesty.
Was that why he didn't "come out" til 5 years ago?
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@dw6796 Did he lie about his sexuality or just never discuss it?
It's easier to tell the truth than to spin lies. He's my 1st Vote!!! Act Blue 2020!!
but he is hiding lies, he clearly said he didn't know wire tapping laws and only had to act when the issue became to big and he had to deal with it.
@@blindfreddy9157 - the interview from a week ago with him and his "husband" 😂😂 has them both admitting that they hid it from family / friends.
Each of his responses is as if he had a few days to write a very organized, objective, complete, well-researched essay about the subject.
Hah! Good one. That's the first time I'm hearing your take on the good mayor's response to questions. Spot on!
I stumble even when I'm telling the truth 😭, if he as clean as he seems, buttigieg 2020, anything but republican
A politician that actually answers questions??? What???? Like him or not, we should all demand answers from our elected officials - with Pete we don't have to demand, just ask.
I bet he’ll release his taxes!
Pressley: the UA-camr formerly known as Vesylum Australia
@@TheVesylum I've been a white, western European heterosexual male, unpopular as it is.
He answered every question indirectly and did not give a specific answer to any questions.
@@Andrew-ye7xi I'm pretty sure "I don't know, here is why I don't" was a pretty direct answer to that first question. I respect a person that can admit they don't have all the answers, because it shows they are willing to listen to those around them who DO have answers. Better than saying "I'm the best" when any topic comes up.
All politics aside watching one of the leading reporters interview a major front runner for president on a stage and both be gay men makes me so grateful of the progress this world has made
Aaron, I was thinking the same thing! It's so hopeful.
I didn't put that together until I read your comment.
you must be easy to fool with simple lies.
I didn't even think of that but you make a great point.
It's a much better time, no matter how much the Trumptards want to take us back militant theocratic fascism.
Where has this guy been ??
I'm straight Mayor Pete, buh I'm inLove with uU man
Check your facts.
He is only here to keep shit the way it is.
@EdwardOderon , 😂😂😂😂 oh please stop the bs.
Wow, what a breath of fresh air! I would love to have a bright, compassionate leader again for our country!
That’s how you honestly answer a question! No dodging. His transparency and diplomacy is incredible! PETE 2020
I find it really odd and don't trust how main stream media shoved this guy down our throats. I've been listening to what he says closely and he seems like another smooth talking Obama who knows the right things to say. The trick is to redirect to how socially liberal he is without acknowledging much of the complete financial failing the status quo has sprung up for a majority of Americans. If another crash were to happen like it did under Obama's watch I'd wager he'd also side with the banks because he believes in the "American way" (A nod to American Exceptionalism which is a nod to much of the status quo). With these kinds of people you have to read between the lines which I did in this video and it completely confirmed that he's another Obama. In particular from 6:10 - 7:00 he talks about how he agrees with the status quo on foreign policy and to make you get on his side he brings up all the "bad" countries to claim the US way is the best. How about looking at the European countries?
A quote from this article also disturbed me : nationalinterest.org/feature/does-pete-buttigieg-have-foreign-policy-53022
“This war is not over, whatever you may hear. But one day it will be, and the measure of what we achieved at such great cost will be taken by asking whether Americans and Afghans live better, freer lives because we served,”
Clearly these are nods to the military industrial complex. It's also funny how the National Interest mentions Tulsi Gabbard in that same article right before talking about his foreign policy to suggest they are similar because of they are veterans with similar deployments however if you listen to his message it's obviously exactly opposite of where Tulsi Gabbard stands on Foreign Policy.
CNN Rigged debates for Hillary Clinton I wouldn't be surprised if they're doing it for Pete Butigeg. You don't see just any candidate out there going from no press coverage to non-stop mainstream media coverage all bombarding you at once.
@san juanita cruz You know exactly what I mean by that statement. He got a whole ton of coverage out of nowhere for no particularly good reason when there are candidates like Tulsi Gabbard and others struggling to get more coverage. I don't trust mainstream media.
" Don’t like him , don’t watch him."
I don't like his policy or what he says. I will continue to watch all side of politics because I'm an informed citizen. This isn't a sport. If you want to discuss actual policy then we can discuss it but you making it seem like its personal from my end is just not the way things are. I'm speaking facts and logic here.
@@marcosalazar4682 “This war is not over, whatever you may hear. But one day it will be, and the measure of what we achieved at such great cost will be taken by asking whether Americans and Afghans live better, freer lives because we served,”
^ That quote from Pete Butigeg is also Historical revisionism at its finest. Afghanistan was actually the freest country in the middle east with women enjoying many rights. Now it's pretty much destroyed. He's defending the status quo by making it seem like these wars are about freedom when in reality they're about oil, opium, the military industrial complex, and other geo-political advantages. He's another Obama. We do NOT need another Obama. Sure he's a smooth talker but millions of people literally lost their homes because he chose to bail out the banks and not the American citizens they screwed.
His first answer was a complete dodge. Too bad there wasn't a journalist on the stage to call him on it. That's what happens when celebrities run a "news" network.
Do we call him Pete the Dicksucker, or do we refer to him as Pete the Impaled?
He’s coming off as honest and straightforward. I like that he answered specifically and without hesitation.
he is supported by the elite so he will do well
I can't wait until he answers a policy question like that.
Straightforward but not too straight...
Nope, he is a dishonest POS.
Daddy, is it okay for one man to suck another man's penie?
She asked a simple question and he answered it directly before he elaborated on the topic. Damn refreshing.
Holy shit. This guy makes a lot of sense. That's an automatic disqualification for president of America.
I love it when Pete answers a question & then gives an explanation that is plausible. He has a quiet but effective nature. I’m very impressed.
so your impressed he lied to you??? he clearly said he didn't know wire tapping was illegal, after he got caught giving the orders to do it. criminals impress you???
You're an idiot.
The most positive comment board I’ve seen for politics in a long time. Pete’s bringing the peace
If cnn is pushing him this hard his not for the people
And spreading A.I.D.S.
For a fuckign racist neoliberal scumbag.
WOW! Actually explains thing intellectually! Doesn't resort to "WHAT ABOUT!
Smartest candidate I have ever seen in my lifetime and I am a republican. He seems honest and sincerely interested in helping his country
Same. I don't agree with a lot of his policies, but his sincerity is more important to me.
I hope.
The foot patrols are a super real thing. I live on the NW side of SB. We are a very diverse neighborhood and the Police's "Armadillo" (big ass swat type vehicle) is currently two blocks from my house to help curb crime. It blew my mind the first time I had an officer walking down the street just casually walk up and introduce himself. He was really nice and explained that it was a new initiative by the dept in order to get people to have known, trusted officers that they would feel confident to call on if anything every came up.
That's very interesting. Thanks for confirming that the things Mayor Pete says are true.

It’s not just eloquence and honesty that make him great, but the fact that he has a heart.
I also like that he's a Veteran!!! No bone spurs.....
He was anything but honest. While technically he didn't lie (he hasn't listened to what was on the tapes) he knows exactly what is on the tapes because lawyers sent the transcripts to his office.
austin konrad he said that he wants to know what the tape says. Implying that he doesn’t. If he had received a transcript he would know. No one can prove either way. Judging from the openness in which he addresses the case, I’m inclined to give him the benefit of the doubt. If he had received a transcript, I don’t see any harm in him admitting so.
You're an idiot.
You're an idiot. Please look into policies before backing someone. He is a big pharma, insurance, banking shill, taking their money and will do their bidding if you back him. More of the same as far as American life is concerned. Oh wow he's gay, wonderful, but what will he do. I'm gay and i cannot back this guy at all. I can see through the word salad. This is not eloquence by gay standards, this only appears to be eloquent for plebians. Sorry x

@King Yellowman Thank you! They are taking his 'answer' as gospel. They need to research this, I did and saw the snake behind the smooth talk.
Good on you Pete for looking that girl in the eye and answering her question. She looked upset when she asked it and he was so respectful in engaging with her. Even when Cooper made a comment he circled back to speak to her.
Isn't it nice seeing a politician talk and have nothing but good comments on it. Love this guy :)
I am so not used to seeing politicians actually answering the questions directly and I am utterly impressed.
THEY TAPPED HIS WIRES 😱

Same.
You should see yang on Tucker Carlson on fox news. He run around pete. Though I'm casting for Sanders come voting time.
This guy is a douche
Calm, eloquent responses. Sincere, smart, hard working and credible. What a contrast to the status quo!
He is the status quo. Liberals have acorns in their brains.
he's LITERALLY status quo. LOL
calm and eloquent did not work in 2016.
Clinton Pachingel that’s because it was Clinton. That made staying with the GOP that much easier in 2016. A conciliatory Democrat would have been ok, and most Dems I know decided to stay with Clinton so as not to go so far left (Sanders). Let’s see if Pete gets the nom this time, as some of us may cross over for the right candidate.
I am supporting him! Act Blue 2020!!

AxelQC I mean, he said all he knew. he legally couldn’t listen to those. I know if he got in legal trouble for listening to those tapes you guys would also be on his ass.
You mustve been a straight A student.
One of the things I like best about Buttigieg is that he actually answers the questions and that they are not just talking points. We desperately need more of this real conversation.
This man is being pushed ahead of tulsi or Bernie simply because he has the approval of the military industrial complex. Mayor Pete has said he his against withdrawing troops in Afghanistan, would have gone into Syria etc and supports giving billions to Israel. No wonder Schumer and co support this shill
Yeah, he dodges every question. It amazes me that people don’t see this. He goes on for 10-15 mins without mentioning a single policy proposal to help fix the dire issues our country faces now and will face in the 21st century. I realized this guy was a fraud in the first interview I saw him in where he went 10 mins and didn’t say anything about how we’re going to clean up this mess. There are only a couple of reasons why a politician would do this: 1) he being funded by big corporate donors who he can’t offend (he is in fact), 2.) no one can say he went back on a policy proposal if he never made any... 3.) He’s naive and doesn’t have any (I’m guessing the 3rd isn’t the case). And why would the “left” MSM love a guy SO MUCH that hasn’t proposed any solutions... I wonder.
Yeah, he’s “articulate” and “well spoken”. So were Obama and Bill Clinton. Look where we are now. Pete is in the same boat, getting caught at “secret dinners” with Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, one of the biggest DNC’s financiers, etc. to try to keep everyone’s eye on him while he doesn’t say anything of substance. We, Americans, lose either way if Buttegeig is elected. He’ll be another 4-8 years of Obama, bring us another Trump, and have wasted all of this time which we don’t have. We have to start putting real measures in place in the next 2-6 years or we are doomed in more than one way.
You must mean like Donald Trump.
Holy moly a politician answered a question with evidence and well put. I’m really glad that Pete is running for president. He’s got my vote.
Mine too!!
He's got herpes up the ass.
This guy is brilliant... He's actually thoughtfully answering the question he was asked... He gives specifics... He keeps the "you'll see" and "trust me" stuff to a minimum... We'd be lucky to have him win...

What a refreshing interview. Pete B is what a public servant should be. And that is what a politician is, a public SERVANT. Elected by the public to SERVE.
He'll go down on you in a public restroom.
Serve on on his fucking knees. He sucks dick.
Take a second to notice something that is unique here: He is answering the woman who asked the question DIRECTLY. He is looking her in the eyes and answering and explaining TO HER. Not a lot of politicians can avoid the Town Hall trope of taking a question and then turning it into some grand lesson or overarching theme to the entire assembly. He is connecting with the woman who asked the question, which in turn, connects him to us on a more personal level than someone trying to water down the answer for general pubic consumption.
While technically he didn't lie (he hasn't listened to what was on the tapes) he knows exactly what is on the tapes because lawyers sent the transcripts to his office.
austin konrad and where was that reported...
I disagree with how direct he was (he still went off on a bit of a tangent at quite a few points), but he did answer the question honestly and frankly and I commend him for doing so.

No one is trying to slip him up. The Democratic establishment and establishment media love him, and he is getting free press. Pete is a nice guy and seems patriotic, but he is clearly a tool. Especially since he is very wobbly with Medicare for all, and is not willing to with REAL Medicare for all. For me, Andrew Yang has my vote. He's like Pete, but he has actual policy, has the numbers to back it up, and is not a polititian and definitely not an establishment tool like pete
You dont think he rehearsed everything that could be asked? Lets see during primaries
He is lying
What in the sam hill?! A lucid answer with detail, understanding that mistakes were made, how those mistakes were dealt with, and how they are continuing to be dealt with. These kinds of antics will not be tolerated!
And he still is a fucking racist that will never fight institutional racism.
@@rojavabashur6455 How is he a racist? He was the one who originally appointed the black Chief. And when that Chief broke a Federal Law he demoted him rather than completely firing? That sounds more like "doing the right thing" not based on any color... which is the definition of not being a racist?
@@Dvipe19 So he will never fight institutional racism but be a part of it instead.
@@rojavabashur6455 I mean I hear you but it seems like he worked to bridge the disconnect between the police and the minority communities. And although he didn't personally see that the racist cops (which sounds all too likely but it still only is an allegation without properly attained proof) were fired or persecuted, it doesn't seem like it was his place to do so anyways. I hope the tapes can be listened and these cops face the repercussions, and there is a method in place determining if it'll happen although it is not likely. And it was very insensitive to replace the chief with a white person but I have faith that Mayor Pete decided the successor based on their qualifications rather than the message it might send. Very tone deaf but I doubt it was intentional.
Love this guy!

I do everyday MAGA its great Trump is there. it looks as if you don't think things through very well,
Decent my ass.
A Team : if you think that vile scum is great you have very low expectations in life
Watching several of these town halls I think that Mayor Pete is the best communicator. He explains things thoroughly and clearly while remaining straightforward, relatable, and seems totally confident in doing it.
ParhelionMedia cloned twin of Obama speeches and moves🤣🤣
Wow. I'm actually satisfied with that answer. No pivot. No juke. He answered the question and then talked about what he learned from his role in that situation. The humility he showed by admitting that he made a mistake in his priorities by focusing too much on just avoiding breaking the law and not enough on how this would be perceived by a community that he genuinely wants to build trust with - ultimately he made a good decision because obtaining evidence with illegal means isn't something we can tolerate. The evidence that was gathered was valuable in that it exposed unacceptable behavior but the way in which it was obtained was not correct or even legal. I'm genuinely impressed. We're all human and we all make mistakes but as long as we make the best selfless decision we can then what else can you ask?
You can't do that when you have a town full of a bunch of Racist K K Klansmen.
It’s like America just discovered the political equivalent of Einstein.
Billy Smith .....that’s awesome 😂 I read the comments and always comment on the first one that makes me laugh. Thank you, great comment. Let’s hope.
Fred Thompson Thanks Fred. This guy is a special one. There is hope for a new America.
It's like Einstein blowing Christ.
Charles Warren .....😂😂😂
@@charleswarren1901 😂😂😂😂😂😂
The best thing about Pete Buttigieg is the fact that he is seemingly the only politician who doesn't evade or dance around the questions he's asked
Indeed,
standing up for his thoughts
is inspiring me.
As a people we are better
when we step forward with
our honesty.
Thankyouthankyou!
umm hello, Andrew Yang?
@@Castizo. hadn't heard of Andrew before, read one article because of your reply , thankyou.
Until it's time to act.
I'm not willing to wait while he figures his way through his confusion.
CREOLE VIKING Can you be more specific? I’m not sure I understand what confusion you’re referring to. As far as I’ve read he’s shown a lot of action in South Bend
I could listen to Pete talk all day. He even motivates me to live my best life and be my true self everyday. He really makes Trump look like a chump without even trying to. Pete for president!!!!!!
I love this. He was following protocol, and was blatantly honest about it. I love he didn't run away from the question.
Do we call him Pete the Dicksucker, or do we refer to him as Pete the Impaled?
So well spoken and respectful. He is really a class act.
Yes, it was a well spoken, educated and yet respectful answer. The most astonishing thing though still is, he actually DID ANSWER the question! I mean factually answer it. Without any hesitation, without any bullshit and hiding behind platitudes or vage lines. That's something you don't see from any candidate -left or right- these days.
You don't even need to compare him to the unhinged traitorous orange bullshitter in the WH. Just ANY of the current politicians you see on TV these days will do, to see how different this guy is.
@godsson711
No one is more fake then your new, false, orange god....except maybe any of his wives, if you value body parts, over intellect.

As much class as Lucifer himself.
Hai Nguyen which of Pete’s policies do you like?
now this is someone with a large "A BRAIN"
Olagonin Chancer you know the reference, right?
What a GREAT communicator, leader and human being!
Served in Asfganastan while mayor? How many mayor or any politicians do something like that?
Thomas Jennings Tulsi Gabbard
reserve navy hahahaha
@@eric3434 It's more than most ever do.
Not many today, but it's not uncommon.
Well they would, but very sadly many of them had bone spurs and one had a sniffle
As soon as he started talking I'm like "Oh...he's good". He was very thorough with his answer. He didn't play the blame game or anything. Just logic and facts with a potential resolution.
Still don't want to have my hopes up just yet. Unfortunately politics makes me warry of anyone in office.
Jay ur face is gorgeous
Keep listening and watching Pete; you will be glad you did!
This question has been asked and answered at least five times during major interviews since January. Did tHis woman think she was breaking new ground? And - again - he explained it all quite logically.
A very small part of this that really means a lot to me is that the stage is being held by two gay men, one a famous respected newscaster and the other a surprisingly popular presidential candidate. To say that I never thought I would see a moment like this in my life is an understatement. Really moves me. Kinda choked up.
It's too early to determine Pete's overall qualifications as a candidate, but a couple of things are obvious: he's extremely intelligent and he answers questions in a direct and articulate manner.
He's corporate backed and was a part of the NYT revealed "secret dinners" the upper echelons of the DNC hosted specifically addressing *_how to stop Bernie Sanders_* who is easily the front runner. hotair.com/archives/2019/04/16/nyt-dem-leadership-holding-secret-stop-bernie-meetings-ny-dc/
That's all you need to know...
extremely intelligent? i bet andrew yang is pissing his pants already.
And yet, no policies.
@@clarehalacy9266Correct. That's why I qualified it with "It's too early..."
Bullshit.
He's not Agolf Twitler meaning he's over qualified.
He has a functioning brain, he's educated and not senile. He doesn't stand a chance in the USA.
BLT4LIFE Righhttt?? Like we’ll probably just vote for a jersey shore cast member.
Not old enough. Maybe Baywatch? *That still doesn't feel old enough. Dukes of Hazzard?
BLT4LIFE hes a deviant, slimmy used car salesman.we see through his scam
but yet he clearly said he didn't know the law on wire tapping, hahahhahaa he is a idiot,
I support him! ACT BLUE 2020!!!
Wow. He actually gave an answer
he’s so well spoken
Refreshing after four years of Trump.
Anna Kulbashny. Anyone can plainly see he's has been standing in front of the mirror for years rehearsing for the role of Obama.
This guy’s making me think about dropping Biden again like I did in 2008 when I started looking into Obama.
McJasper looking into???, like watching msm do the vetting for u??
I voted for Obama twice!! Now I am supporting Mayor Pete!!
Biden can't beat Trump. Just look at all the videos on UA-cam of his wandering hands, including onto young girls. I don't think he did anything wrong, but it makes him unelectable.
@Fedup Citizen I don't know if Biden can beat Trump. I know a lot of polls say that, and I'm not an expert, but I don't think that there is the same energy behind Biden as there is with Trump or even different Democratic candidates. I think Biden is well-liked and respected, but I haven't seen high levels of excitement for him. It seems more like pragmatism - "He can beat Trump so that's why I'm voting for him." And I don't think that alone is enough to actually beat Trump. I think people need to have a fire in their guts and in their hearts and I haven't seen Biden inspire that.
I see a Biden/Buttigieg ticket for 2020 with Biden serving one term. VP Pete would be ready for eight years in 2024.
My loyalty is currently to Bernie because his goal and policies are focused and have been for a long time. But I’m torn every time I hear this man speak. He’s direct, honest, and to the point. Looking forward to the debates.
open and honest, but not really answering the question and certainly not providing any real leadership. he is giving establishment answers, so if that is what you like, maybe look on the Republican side.
Bernie cannot win the nomination for single, simple reason: he's too old. If anything, the Democratic Party is the party of youth. I know how simplistic that is; but it's also a very real truth.
@@thomasthompson6378
Maybe that is your truth. No one is going to force you to vote for Bernie. I don't care how old he is, I will vote for him.
@@thomasthompson6378 oh right thats why Bernie has the most support among young people
@@justgivemethetruth Pete and Bernie are both great candidates. No need to slight either one if they are not your first preference. Though at this point I prefer Pete I'm willing to vote for either one should they gain the nomination.
Buttigieg is definitely not perfect by any stretch, but watching him has definitely reminded me of the presidents of old - he keeps it classy.
I like that when he makes mistakes, if you can explain his mistake clearly to him, he listens and tries to fix it. Having a review process for improving one's skills is something we don't see politicians show and be honest about these days. They think its a weakness, and Pete somehow makes it his strength.
Honestly answering questions is something anyone can do. If you are going to back a candidate please do some research into their policies, what they've done locally and what they plan to do. Pete really doesn't shine tbh. He is here for the banks, insurance companies, big pharma and more of the current system. Don't be fooled by the hallmark card prepped speeches.
Pete is the most honest candidate in this race. He answered the question directly and even took fault for not considering enough how much his decision would impact the racial trust in his city.
He does seem honest, and so does Andrew Yang. I will continue to watch both of their videos, though Yang has much more specific strategies for 100 different policies. I do like Pete though too.
You're naive.
It was a no-win situation and he handled it the best he could which didn't please everyone and never could. Obviously it wasn't as divisive as has been portrayed since his community that includes 45 percent non-white residents still re-elected him with 80 percent of the vote in spite of the controversy. He owns up to the fact that he could have handled it differently and that he has learned from the experience. That's plenty good enough for me.
Most of his supporters are white men
Wow Such a Low Bar You Have... I'm Curious About What You Think About Bernie Sanders Though?
Is He Not All of Those Things With A Solid 30+ Year Record To Boot..?
@TheBase1aransas Dying? Last time it was calculated, 24 percent of American voters are Republican, 31 percent are Democrat. The rest are independents--and independents tend to lean Democrat most of the time. Yup, you lose.
@TheBase1aransas What is real is that Democrats just swept into the US Congress and are taking control of a government that has been completely out of whack for the past two and a half years.
Bernie bots are rearing its divisive head again.
i like that he answered the actual question and not waffled like everyone else
what about the other 500 questions he gets about POLICY?
Jogbird...I have to say kudos to you! I haven't often agreed with you, but, thank you for keeping an open mind. 🌼👍🌼
JogBird well, I’m glad you brought this issue up. Thank you for bringing it up, so we have a lot of McDonald’s, beautiful McDonald’s, believe me.great American food, believe me when I say that. .....
Mayor Pete and Cooper will be out behind the dumpster going down on each other
@@thankunext1625I have asked EVERY person that has made this comment to ask me what his position is on a policy and I will answer it. So far not a single person has responded. Anyone who has listened to him, know his position on every policy. Clearly people making this accusation about him don't actually believe it or haven't listened to him and know it. Let's see if you are the first to actually ask me about his policies. College Education might be the only one I don't know. Which sounds like is asked in this townhall, but I haven't gotten to watch it all yet.
I 100% would vote for this guy! Very respectable!
Wait why is he answering the questions, I'm not use to politicians answering questions
Five Mode Then watch any Andrew Yang interview.
Bernie and yang do as well. The only difference is, they tell the truth.
Oh PLEASE let us have a potus who has english language capabilities in 2020! This is like music to my ears, eloquent and intelligent. So weird after listening to trump babble incoherently and angrily for what feels like an eternity.
He is a really slick liar..
@@dxrinc With genuine curiosity, what are you referencing?
The contrast is embarrassingly astounding.
That's all it takes now. Common sense and good handling of the English language.
Vt Wannabe Elizabeth Warren speaks well and she answers questions with policies that help people. This mayor talks a lot about values, is equivalent of trump talking is "wealth" sure sounds slick to me. No policies just values. In fact all the candidates speak English in a complete sentences,
Wow. No hillary-blaming or obama-blaming? This is unreal
obamacare was a right wing corporate giveaway, drone strikes are terrorism, he ramped up mass surveillance, backed another criminal war this time in yemen and both he and hillary took giant bribes fromt heir corporate owners.
he is not cut for president if there is no blaming.
initiativisk Because he is educated, and, mature unlike Trump. Lol
there's a lot of legitimate things to blame obama and hillary for
@@jamesmoncrief6793 Butt Plug Pete is GAY. End of story.
He faces every questions head on! Never dances around them no matter how comfortable they may be!
Wow. A real and honest answer. That’s what politicians need to understand. Just be real!!!!!
This guy knows how to answer a question. Straight to the point.
Indeed
Same he knows of how the law works or what violates the wiretapping laws.
@Over Under Sideways Down Um. What?
how easily the left is sold.
Wow..an ACTUAL STABLE GENIOUS
*After listening to him i will not support Biden and Bernie.*
Now THIS is how a president should sound.
@Over Under Sideways Down You're an idiot 😂
@Over Under Sideways Down that's bait
Lùffy which of Pete’s policies do you like the most?
Lùffy good little compliant sucker.next you will demand crayons
B33SON policies?, hmmmm , more ky when fisting
CNN dropped Beto quick.
Pete is like Beto's smarter younger brother, who goes on to be more successful.
They''ll keep looking for anyone to beat Bernie
Beto doesn't do TV because he's... too cool for it?... fuck if I know man
@@codpov7700 They should have compromised with Warren. Some random mayor with a horrific record of abusing the most vulnerable homeless people in his city is not a challenge to Bernie.
Beto is a drunk driver loser with no life so I am glad they did. DEMS are ruining out of losers to run.
