ABC News presents ‘Running Mates’ with Chasten Buttigieg 

Kohler

I had to laugh at your comment. I just watched Pete's town hall at SCU, and someone asked him how he managed to remain so calm, and if anything got him angry. He said the reason he forces himself to remain calm is because so much gets him angry.

They seem like good people

No

// what does his age have to do with anything. Trump is 73 and he’s the least competent person to run this country

I like them both.

GoogleKnowsUs Why because he's married to a presidential candidate .

You don't know him

Why did he change his last name to Buttigieg ? I accept they are married but I've never heard of a man giving up his last name. I don't know one gay man who would change their last name to their partner's name.

ruben cohen why not??

David Vargo, I admire your lack of bitterness, and generosity of spirit.

@liberal slayer Considering every president besides Obama has been white, I disagree. Whites are the biggest voting block, gotta appeal. He's also a veteran.

Gross

I agree. I am an Italian teenager so i don’t really care much for American politics but i admire the us so much for being such an inclusive country. i mean, even if this guy doesn’t win it’s already such a victory that we’ve come to the point where gay people are even considered to became POTUS. Wish Italians were as open minded as Americans (we’ll get there, eventually)

Islam will fix their love....

I don’t agree with buttigieg and don’t want him to be president, but I really think we should be tackling him on his policies and who he gets his money from, not his “experience”, in my eyes anyone can be president.

"He generates the youthful energy"? Are you like 80? As a "youth", I can assure you, there's no one we hate more than Pete. He pretends to be progressive, but his politics are a far cry from progressive. He's a wolf in sheep's clothing. He looked at Sanders, saw Medicare4All, and then asked, "How can I come up with something that doesn't fundamentally change anything so by billionaire donors stay happy, but makes it look like I'm taking major steps" and came up with his public option. There's a reason that Sanders crushed, overwhelmingly, among the young people in Iowa, in New Hampshire, and in Nevada. Because the problems we face are the same as everyone else in the working class. The billionaire class fucks everyone over in the same way, and taking them on is the only thing we can do.

I'm with Pete and have been from the beginning. Rally among your friends, around the water cooler at work. Pete for President

@@soupycask he's is completely transparent as to where the money comes from and you can read all info regarding his policies. Which policy do you question?

@@RitobanRoyChowdhury N\Probably not, but all your candidates are pushing 80 including that moron "president" of yours.

It would be a refreshing change of pace indeed.

I have never seen 2 people so humble and smart. I'm so happy for what they bring to society.

Sasha Rosen x Russian bot

@@sasharosen8994 Even a fool is thought wise if he keeps silent, and discerning if he holds his tongue..........alas you spoke and showed your ignorance. Pete was an intelligence officer who made sure our troops were safe when they traveled around. I know that facts might be foreign to you but the truth, as they say, is out there!

@Flaming Pie Try to say that to my face. We all tried to change. If I was born straight my life would have been so much better. Unfortunately I cannot change. So when someone so uneducated come to me and say it's a choice, I just want to scream. How do you know it's a lie ? have you been in my position ? Have you suffered what I suffered? do you even know how it feels like to be rejected your whole life? You are a monster.

He was in my top three but Yang is out and Gabbards campaign isn't helping her so...Go Pete

Special P yang 2020

Islam has a cure for them....

Mo Fo screw you

He will not win, unless he cheats at the convention.

Which one wears the knee pads

@Fools On The Hill yeah, no. Nice try, homophobe.

Jukka Mattila imagine somehow bringing this round circle to attach trump lol. Let’s focus on the dem primary first lol

I really can't handle another trump term. I just need someone to beat him, anyone.

sunnylilme That’s too bad. Trump2020

Can you explain why you need challenges to be president? I like Pete but this makes no sense.

Matthew W imagine liking a racist sexist homophobe, can’t relate.

First & Foremost, Pete & Chasten have owned to themselves, the orientation they grew into, as it emerged. They individually acknowledged their responses, and each waited till they found the only person they could undoubtedly bond with. Their real togetherness is a result of long personal restraint and sincere depth of feelings.

@hobo john , thanks so much for your antisemitism. Your comment is worthless.

@@TheMarkofkane pay no mind to trolls....as Chasten says "Let hate sit alone"

Very well stated.

Maria F, what an eloquent, heartfelt statement. I agree with you, totally.

@Ēnuff said ummmm thats enuff said! you have watched this video, soaked in the content and ended up posting this comment, enff said

Yess 🥰😍

@Ēnuff said No, you are childish and bigoted. I hope you grow up to realize that love is love.

C R I can see what Pete sees in him and why they are happily married.

4 words never uttered about the current President, lol!

no it’s not.

Really? 🤮

Agreed, Chasten is inspiring to listen to as is Pete. 😊 💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸💙 #peteforpresident #petebuttigieg2020 #bluewave2020 #voteblue2020 #wintheera #changethechannel

I really miss having a nice president..with respect, integrity, honesty. It matters.

hardeez1 - and yet, you watched it

@@sunnylilme you have one now

He can't do the job. At best they can adopt

Reuben Handel It’s a terrifying time when you can’t tell a trump supporter from a Bernie bro

MidnightMan totally agree

@B stupid. we LOVE YOU! 🍿 👀

B he meant two men...he can’t spell. Surprise!

Yeah, but definitely not the average American experience though.

Zach Russell shut up white nigga

B I believe @Zach Russell was prematurely interrupted before he could finish declaring: “It’s disgusting it’s to men like Chastain to have to be the ones to teach the message of inclusivity, acceptance, and respect for others, when we should’ve been teaching all of these things long ago so that good people like Chastain wouldn’t have to grow up in a world where they were made to feel disgusting and unacceptable.”

Angela Leroy thank you for your honesty and intelligence. Those traits are harder to find amongst GOP members here in Texas.

pete is awful- the amount of bribes he’s taken from pharmaceutical companies is enough said

He’s a mayor of a city he’s one of the worst choices. You should go with Trump. Just think of all the things he has done to improve the country.

Very happy you're open-minded to him. We would benefit from more people like you giving him a chance ♥️

@@player-ic9yj Pete has neither PACs or superPACs. He has taken no money from any industry, only from grassroots donations capped at 2800 dollars a person. Since your source is probably an opensecrets page reminder that "employee of X industry donated" is vastly different than "X industry donated".

Congratulations on the 22 years !

@@Poon1312 No Thanks.

Ashleigh Nelson i mean just a simple google search will tell you that pete is bought out already. he’s a fake

Ashleigh Nelson Bernie 2020

@@buckylagrange5741 A "simple google search" will give you whatever you are looking for, but it ain't always the truth.

@@buckylagrange5741 Bernies been stagnating on capital hill for nearly 30 years now. If he hasn't made the changes you're looking for in that amount of time changing were his desk is won't make any difference. You want change yet keep voting for the same people over and over to get it. Out with the old farts. Time for new faces.

No Buttieg will have to get behind them. After all, he is the bootyjudge!

LGBT people as a whole don't support pete though probably because he doesn't get to the root of many issues that affect LGBT people like lack of healthcare.

Yeah. I'm also gay and I truly LOVE the idea of having a gay president so we can normalize being gay all over the world! However, I don't support Pete Buttigieg's views. He is not my candidate.

@Cody Murphy Cody, can you explain why you think he is a fraud? I am truly interested. (straight 57 year old white woman)

@@wjsndayoungismydorkyqueen6982 Can you explain which views? This is a good conversation to have.

WJSN Dayoung is my dorky queen: Lol you had 'em in the first half.

Bloomberg also

I'd vote for a ham sandwich over the rotten mango any day. All the democrats running are infinitely better suited to the presidency.

B, Amen to that!!

I'm voting for WHOEVER is not Trump on the ballot.

@@tadblackington1676 That made me laugh so hard...........and I am a vegetarian!

The whole thing makes me feel so "normal" and part of society. It's 2020, but still the feeling is amazing

Nicolas I’m so proud and happy for both you, and @Jacob Freeh. It is refreshing to hear your positive stories in a world that otherwise feels like it’s devolving day by day. I cannot wait until the pathological liar is removed from the White House along with his ever revolving crew of hate men.

Two guys together must really stink up the bedroom sick and disgusting behavior.

Your a sick homophobic bigot and you don’t belong in this country 😀

William Royer - and yet you watched the whole video and took the time to comment. Interesting....

@@williamroyer4669 Anal sex doesn't if taken proper preparation.

William Royer I’d say it’s a lot more concerning that your response to a kind-hearted, thoughtful interview video is to change the subject arbitrarily into sharing which bedroom activities you find “sick and disgusting”. Did you mean to comment on a different video by mistake?

Agreed, can't wait for super Tuesday here in NC!

@Aldo Cologne what's your problem?

@liberal slayer Yes. Peder ButtJudge from South Bending over. Soros and the Demonrat slave owners are laughing their asses off at their Sheeple Leftist Americans.

Well who are you voting for now

YAAAS ♥️

@Larry Nelson Y'all homophobes seem more obsessed with gay sex than any gay man I know. Nothing gayer than being overly concerned what other men consensually do with their dicks. Also you know plenty of straight people do anal too right? And plenty of gay dudes don't do anal? Why is it a problem when two dudes are doing it but not when straight couples do?

@@TheShicksinator cause its gay

@Larry Nelson So straight infertile people are going to hell too? That hardly seems fair. Also until the 1940s there was nothing in the Bible condemning homosexuality. It was actually condemning men molesting boys, not anything we would recognize as a gay relationship today. Source: www.forgeonline.org/blog/2019/3/8/what-about-romans-124-27 Also Jesus himself said you're not allowed to judge anyone else when you have sins of your own. You've eaten shellfish and worn mixed fabrics so in criticizing the sins of others you are acting as a Pharisee. Jesus' greatest command was to love thy neighbor as thyself, and that includes sinners. If Jesus were alive today, he would be hanging out with gays as with everyone else. And more frankly I think a God who would condemn people simply for loving someone of the same gender when they are hurting nobody by doing so is a sadist undeserving of worship or exaltation.

@Larry Nelson Jesus never said one word against homosexuality. And the Leviticus chapter you bigots love to quote is simply a recipe for hypocrisy. Do you avoid mixed fabrics? www.americamagazine.org/faith/2010/08/18/dr-laura-and-leviticus

There's no way Saint Pete will ever win the presidency, he's been lying his way to the people

Pete is incredibly inauthentic

I agree, but Michelle Obama did a great job too....

@@lolbro2697 You're absolutely right! Michelle was one of the best first ladies since Eleanor Roosevelt in my opinion. Wish she was interested in politics!

She has empowered many women

I agree remember this is no news anymore its just entertainment news sadly

Clapping like Pete's cheeks when his husband plows him

@@mattatk92 hahaha! No way I'm putting a man in as first lady.

Katame . What happened to you in the past that has made you such a nasty individual?

joe b . His proper title will be First Gentleman. And I suggest you google the word “gentleman” as you obviously have no personal experience with the word

As a gay veteran I assure you that is not what I meant! I was giving my opinion on Pete's wall to express what I feel I saw. It's not in my better interest to see Pete fail.

P.S. I lived in Indiana when Pence signed "that anti-gay bill." I am very, very proud of what Pete has accomplished.

I hear those same types of things when people make comments like that about a woman.

Barbara Bueno-Welton That’s a very slippery slope. Hope you’re prepared for it

@@Donnie-sg2cj Oh, we're sooo ready for it; hope you are too! 💋

Frankie Says What problems do we have in America right now. U live in the Greatest country on earth be grateful.

@@zachrussell7513 If your a white heterosexual Male then you think that.

Anthony Smith Why don’t you leave then.

Fernando Castillo I’ve been to a good amount. (3 continents) No one comes close to the USA. No where else in the world can u go from poor to wealthy with just a dream and lots and lots of hard work. What other country is that possible In? Not to mention we have great freedoms that many places in the world don’t allow their people. Ex: we can own guns which protects our other freedoms. What other country in the history of the world has achieved the great things as America has. No other country comes close.

Zach Russell see the problem is that in the US you can’t do that any longer.

what the heck are you thinking ........... a democrat?!?! not just a democrat a GAY democrat

Which policies of his do you support? Don't vote for the wrong reason.

@@ano3758 Democratic reform, making Puerto Rico and DC states, overturning citizen's united, passing a 21st century voting rights act. That's only a fraction of his unique policies

Not

Yea, I notice that too. He holds back when it comes to his parents past homophobia..

It seems like there's been a lot of repair of relationship with Chasten's parent since then

@@jbak87 id hazard a guess it's because they've seen his parents begin to come around

It can't be easy.

No grandchildren can be a problem for alot of parents

Lololol not bad!

McCain was running for Prez, Palin was his VP running mate

@@yoni5570 thanks for telling me. But what I mean is that Palin is a crazy woman who shouldn't be there

Nice does matter. As well as..honesty, integrity, morals..etc..

@@sunnylilme well said.

@Brains00007 wished

@B I will support whoever wins the Democratic nomination but will be voting for Pete in the primaries. Although I do believe Bernie has a shot at beating Trump, the "socialist" label is going to hurt him with a lot of voters. Also, keep in mind that part of the reason why Bernie is winning is because Pete is sharing the moderate votes with Amy and Biden. As soon as these two drop out (hopefully no later than the day after Super Tuesday) Pete will undoubtedly pick up many of their voters. So, although I am not doubting Bernie's popularity I will say that Pete is not trailing far behind him.

Proactive like Michelle? The chick high school kids hated for ruining their lunches? 🙄

H Lenz oh geez homophobic much?

Necessary Evil that’s been undone and junk food is back, I gather.

AbbieJolie C when I was in school almost no kids were fat, maybe two, and we had "the junk food" because we burned it all off during the day.

He is far more beautiful.

Nice comment

😂

Accurately, not every decor has gold leaf like Trump's Tower suites

The reality is that he won't be living in the White House anytime soon. 🏳️‍🌈
