Mayor Pete is the real person to be the next president. He is young but very mature.

Andrew Yang is honestly much better. Pete is just more flowery.

@@HoeYouGay Pete has more depth and demonstrates a moral leadership that none of the other candidates do.

@@HoeYouGay A problem with Yang is that he already has all the details of what needs to be done. This is great for solving math problems. But if you know anything about problem-solving in social situations, you know that the worst thing to do is to walk in with ready solutions. Instead, you need to listen to all constituencies. Yang is just a technocrat, who knows exactly what is best for all of us. That is a big problem with Yang.

@BananaPeal0 So, what is your point? Pete Buttigieg does not need 100% of the votes. The majority of homophobes would not vote for him for many other reasons, even if he was straight.

Sold! He has, like, zero specific policy ideas, but he does make self-described liberals feel real warm and fuzzy all over when he talks. Tulsi 2020! Pete's a sham artist.

@DGM I checked out his website, and he engages in the same, meaningless rhetoric there as he did with Rachel. His "Medicare for all who want it," is about as silly as Yang's UBI. Mayor Pete offers nothing but feel good words, like Obama. Name just one specific policy position of his. One.

@william willieReally, because I can answer you his stance on every major issue. Ask me one and I will give you his stance.

No, sorry, he's ours and you can't have him.

​@@ihateshitlibs Candidates with a lot of very precis policies at this point in the race won't likely be able to achieve most of them when they will be president, because they will have to deal with congress, new information not yet available to them at this point; (intelligence meeting ) etc... and then what will happen? The voters will feel cheated. Another reason why some candidates put a very detail sets of policies this early in the race is because, they have nothing else to sell, so they have to come with something to get some attention. I am pretty sure that Pete is very capable intellectually of creating a nice "Power Point" of policies if that what people wants., but right now everything is pointing in the opposite direction.

Still weak on the issues, he did a nice side step around Maddow's question, that makes me very suspicious, that other than having a good education - a lot of people do, by the way, that we see too little here. Foreign policy? Values? Inseparable? Models? Americans don't need a grad school lecture but some ideas --- the guy is too slick.

To who could you be referring? Joking aside, I agree in contrast to even a lot of the Democratic candidates. Pete is terrific.

crispy What a President...!

And an outspoken Christian, that cannot be good.

Andrew Yang 2020!!

We desperately need an intelligent person to lead our country, all the details can work out.

stable and dishonest around the truth of healthcare funding.

I have listened to his speech and am having a difficult time deciphering what Mayor Pete is going to enact as policy in a concrete way. After listening to Andrew Yang’s speech, I find mayor Pete’s platform to be lacking substance. Can someone please try to convince me to vote for Pete over Yang?

Derek Armstrong ...I almost agreed with you except for some changes : replace the candidate has...by trump had ! See, now we’re okay

So you decided to vote for a man that literally has no platform. And he's so young that he also has such a short track record in politics so we have no idea what he is or isn't capable of. You have decided to vote for what exactly? Andrew Yang is more less in the same boat as Pete but at least he has specifically detailed what his plans are. Pete needs to get a platform and fast if he is going to compete with Sanders. Just saying. Because once the primary comes I don't think people are going to vote for nothing. Right now he stands for vague right-ness.

@@jps6709 I have a really bad habit of listening with both ears and seeing with both eyes. Listen to a few more of his interviews if you still have problems seeing and hearing his vision for what its going to take to basically save this sinking ship let me know.

@@jps6709 Pete Buttigieg runs on three major themes: freedom, security, and democracy. The first two were so far claimed mostly by Republicans. So it is a great idea to take it back from them. This is how he can win. Perhaps, most important is Pete’s proposal for deep structural reforms of the democratic system, such as, the Supreme Court, Electoral College, gerrymandering. Without those changes, most of the progressive proposals will fail in Congress or courts. Read about his policies here: peteforamerica.com/issues/

@@pbtube58 I appreciate what you are trying to do but you are lost, friend. I feel like I have my finger on the pulse of the people voting in the Democratic Primary because I try to expose myself to as many sources as possible, and listen to as many Dem Candidate interviews as I can. I promise I agree that foundational structural reform is definitely what the nation needs. However, the nation has no idea that's what it needs, and when you have a progressive like Sanders that is able to articulate change within the confines of the current system, it doesn't make sense for people to take a step back and change the system first when all the other Dems say they can handle the confines of the current system. I believe that people that support Pete don't really expose themselves that much to other candidates-- and when you surround yourself with Pete nonstop then of course it seems like he has a good chance at winning. In reality he has no chance whatsoever. Pete is wonderful at coming across as a nice guy but he's too nice. He isn't going to actually be able to confront anyone in Washington to enact the structural change America needs. Changing the structure of a city that no one cared about (South Bend was literally one of the worst cities in America so there was nowhere to go but up) and changing the structure of an entire nation is nowhere near the same thing. Not only does Pete not have any actual experience, but he comes across as too nice to fight for the change he's trying to sell. Like I said in my previous comment, Pete is not really advocating for anything that ALL the other Dems aren't also advocating, and since this structural change thing isn't going to catch on until at least 2024's campaigning cycle, we all have to unite. We can't be split up like we were last time with Clinton and Sanders. I feel Andrew Yang is the best candidate but I can swallow my pride and say he cannot win in 2020 and I am supporting Sanders because I can't stomach Biden. Trump is right, Biden DOES have a low IQ. The man almost seems senile. Let's talk more after the coming debates and see if Pete has gained any more traction, but I sincerely doubt he will. And Harris is the exact opposite of Pete and seems borderline berserk. I'm sorry but our only real chance at beating Trump right now is Bernie Sanders; increasing the minimum wage, Medicare for all, free public colleges, and finally properly taxing mega corporations are all things Pete would advocate. So just come to the Sanders side already.

@@jps6709 I appreciate your analysis, and I largely agree with you. Bernie is my second candidate. In terms of the goals, the two are quite similar. I think Pete would be better at implementing his plans. Bernie has more experience, but that is not enough. Ultimately, it is just too early to decide, and if Pete does not break through, I will vote for Bernie. I don’t think I can explain it well, but Pete is a much better “player”. He has a unique ability to “reformulate a problem”, instead of attacking it the traditional way. His three major themes: freedom, security, and democracy, is just one example of that. Bernie is OK and has good intentions, but he is no match for Pete in that regard. One problem with Bernie is that I still do not know what type of socialism he is for. If he is for social democracy of the European type, why does he call himself a socialist? Or maybe he isn’t for social democracy. For example, his Medicare-For-All calls for essential elimination of private health insurance, but most European countries with universal coverage still have private health insurance. And if he is for social democracy, why call yourself a socialist, if this puts you at a disadvantage in US? This is a big tactical mistake.

One big difference: RFK had actual policy ideas and genuine progressive values, not empty platitudes.

@@donovan4105 We're currently spending $3.5 trillion a year on healthcare. That money along with a top marginal rate of 52% on the first dollar over $10million is more than enough to cover it. A conservative think tank, Koch funded, showed we would save $2 trilllion over 10yrs. So yeah, he has said how he would pay for it, and there are even better estimates out there. Tuition free public colleges and universities will be paid for with a speculation tax on Wall Street trading. The rates according to Bernie's plan are 0.1% on stocks, and 0.5% on bonds. So no, his policy proposals aren't empty. In fact, his policies would give peace of mind to every American when it comes to health care, and education. On top of that, he is dedicated to getting money out if politics by overturning Citizens United, and implementing a constitutional amendment to ban the practice.

I believe Mayor Pete has said that medicare for all is the goal, but the political reality is that it will probably have to come in stages.

@@alwaysuseless "Come in stages'" is neo-lib speak for "you ain't getting it until our donors say you can have it."

No, Pete Buttigieg's version of "come in stages" is to make it universally available. In other words it's voluntary. Some people will decline the offer and, if they already have a plan, stay with it. Over time, more and more people will see that the "medicare" plan is better. If that's what happens, participation will grow.

He's also an empty vessel. Can you name one policy he stands for? Oh, that's right, he prefers not to go there cuz voters are way more interested in his "values." Bernie and Tulsi are offering specific solutions for people hurting from the ravages of neo-liberalism, and they will mop they floor with the likes of Mayor Pete.

Martin A. I agree that he’s lacking in the policy aspect and he needs to address that moving forward especially as he gains more traction. I’m eager to see more specific policy views.

Martin A. Well I'm not his campaign manager. He can tell you himself as he will continue to, if you care enough to listen.

@Pravose Pillnits South Bend has no where near that population. They have about 100,000 and yes, he did win 80%.

since demlosers cant get over the hillary loss and have been trying to impeach trump even before he took office you losers are constantly wanting the man out even though he has done more in 2 years than obama did in eight. This is a sad state of affairs helli would vote for Tulsi before i would vote for Butt and ford was referring to the impeachment of Nixon which never happened .

So smart.
