The Mainstream Media really, really like Mayor Pete

quote:hero, the second coming of Obama, very smart, everyone doesn't love Mayor Pete but the MSM says they do.
Mayor Pete Buttigieg is having his moment, and the media love is flowing like the St. Joseph River through South Bend, Indiana.
The 37-year-old officially announced he was running for president on Sunday, and the floodgates opened, particularly on Morning Joe. The MSNBC program decided that Tiger Woods's Masters victory and Buttigieg's announcement happening on the same day Sunday was nothing less than fate.
After a montage played of Woods and Buttigieg discussing, respectively, their 15th major victory and their entry into a gigantic Democratic presidential field, host Joe Scarborough declared that "everybody" watching television on Sunday was watching both Woods and "Mayor Pete."
"America stopped," Scarborough said. "For some reason yesterday, everybody stopped. They were watching Tiger, and they watched Mayor Pete, and I don't know, 10 years from now, 20 years from now, just may be a day that a lot of people look back on and see history being made."
Co-host Mika Brzezinski added "my mom loves Mayor Pete" and said her phone rang off the hook with people who were moved by Buttigieg.
Frequent guest Donny Deutsch called them both "heroes," and contributor Mike Barnicle intoned, "In one Sunday spring afternoon, in Augusta, Georgia, and South Bend, Indiana, you had two stories that combine to truly represent part of what this country's all about."
The hosts also gushed over him after he appeared on their show last month, and Scarborough said the kind of people who call and text Joe Scarborough were saying "this guy is the real thing. We love Mayor Pete."
MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace called him "chicken soup for my soul" who makes her "feel better" after his recent remarks criticizing Vice President Mike Pence, the former governor of Indiana, for his stance on LGBTQ rights. Fellow MSNBC host Andrea Mitchell asked a reporter what the "magic" was like as Buttigieg gave his remarks on Sunday and wondered, "Audacity of hope?"
CNN's Ana Navarro, a Republican who supports Democrats, said she was "thrilled" by his surge in polls and fundraising, and The View‘s Joy Behar was enthused at the idea he may be the next Barack Obama. One of Obama's former speechwriters, Jon Lovett, said on the podcast Pod Save America that he's "really f—king smart."

There are tons of those in media. If he gets any momentum, watch Hollywood drool over him. If Hollywood remains silent, you know he is done.

If we can't vote for the first woman, our guilt will be assuaged by voting for the first (openly) gay president.
All liberal brain waves only carry emotion.

They must have gotten word that ole crazy uncle Joe won't be their savior. They somewhat did this with the fake Mexican in TX. as well. The "audacity of hope" is hilarious. The economy is great, are they stoned in a power grab dream? Their hope is for a gay young man for communism. That is for changing the electoral college so he can win; and stack the Supreme Court with people like them that think they are above us and so much smarter.

I don’t know if he can win, but if you listen to him speak, you will realize that he is brilliant / something we have not had in the presidential office in a while. He is progressive left but practical in approach unlike Bernie. He just might win the Dem nomination.

He’s gay.
In today’s media, gay=hero.
Posted on 4/16/19 at 6:06 am to cajunangelle
You know what they really like about him the best?
He's not:
-Sanders
-Clinton
-Warren
-Biden
-Robert Francis
They know that none of the losers listed above (that they have pushed hard for and pushed into the spotlight) have any national appeal. "Mayor Pete", a dude no one has even heard of, is now an easy way for "moderate" Dems to have a candidate to support without the embarrassment that comes from supporting the insanity of the names I listed above

Oh, I understand why they call him a hero, I just want someone to explain to me, what's heroic about taking it up the butt or sucking a rod?
Nevermind. They thought Stromy Daniels was also a hero.

He checks a lot of boxes for them.
When you represent a lot of special interest groups, and have to appear to care about all of them equally, it helps to have a candidate that's a member of several of those groups.

And they were probably ordered by their bosses @ the DNC to brand him as "Mayor Pete;" to try to make him go viral and take away from his weird buttplug last name.
When will Ana Navarro and Morning Joe just come out with it that they are progressives?

It is very telling that the left seriously consider a guy who was a fricking lieutenant in the Navy and the mayor of a town with a hundred thousand people to be a serious candidate for president.
If the man didn't take dick up the arse he would be laughed out of the room.

What the frick is he talking about?
95% of America doesn’t give a shite about Tiger Woods, and 99% has never heard of Pete Buttplug.
