Is anyone really taking this Buttigieg boomlet seriously? It feels to me like people who are effectively undecided, giving the trendy answer. Maybe it's real, but I still predict he will win zero primaries. I have noticed some polls seem to have levels of undecided voters that seem strangely small, this far out. I get that people have decided how they feel about Trump, but only politics nerds know for whom they're gonna vote in next year's primary. Oh, and people in mobility scooters, of course. They're all in the bag for Biden.

I don't take any candidate seriously until I know how small their average donation size is.
Lol! Well, Mike Gravel is averaging like 4 bucks, so he's on the right path 😂😂

Surprised by Gillibrand not meeting the Donor Qualification with her New York base. Honestly, that’s quite an embarrassment. Speaks to a real lack of effort on her part or lack of interest by primary voters.

Not really surprised, her hook was being the #MeToo Candidate, that's not enough to drive people to give her money. Even Biden trying to be Obama 3.0 gets older Democrats and Wall Street exicted

It's sad, Andrew Yang's campaign is getting more attention than Tulsi's. Not that Yang is a bad candidate or anything, but we saw the exact same thing in 2016 with the relationship between Bernie's campaign and the mainstream media.

Oh stop. The media was obsessed with Bernie and his coverage was so much more positive than Hillary's.
I'm done with the conspiracy theorizing, pity parties held by Bernie supporters.

Bullock, I assume?
I get the desire for public service, but running for President isn't the only option. You don't want to be a senator because the legislative process sucks? Fine, I get it. But jumping into a crowded field where you'll have to drop out in 6 months without having any appreciable impact on the debate is beyond dumb.
And preemptive eyeball to the predictable but inane comment coming from elsewhere about how there are more "centrist/establishment" Dems running that "progressive" ones.

OK let's ignore the fact that Bernie had the least amount of coverage of all the Major Candidate as opposed to the $5 Billion in free advertising that Trump got AND THE FACT that when people tried to cover the Sanders Campaign they were EXPLICITLY TOLD NOT TO DO IT.
ALSO: I'll stop saying More Centrist/Establishment Dems running than Progressive Dems when it stops being true

First, that's some paranoid ****.
Second, if Bernie is so beloved and inevitable on the first ballot, why is he not ahead in the polls? Why is it that the guy who got 43% in 2016 can't get out of the teens today? Why can't the guy who was giving Hilary a run for her money in the fundraising category not dominating now? Why do you seem to think folk who voted a certain way in 2016 will vote the same way in 2020? Why do you think favorite-son candidates (which haven't been a thing since the early 70s) would do anything to hurt Bernie in those states? Why do you think a brokered convention is what "the establishment" has in mind when "the establishment" is all about as little chaos at conventions as possible? Why won't you get your nose out of his ass? Why will ardent Bernie supporters not commit to voting for the Dem nominee but expect "establishment" voters to fall in line behind him? If Bernie loses fair-and-square, according to the actual rules as they are written now, will his supporters just accept it? When will you accept that randomly capitalizing things makes people take you LESS SERIOUSLY?
Don't actually answer these, I'm just annoyed and your "facts" will only annoy me further.
